Today, we will begin a short summer series based on 2 Peter. We will begin by reflecting on 2 Peter 1, Confirming Your Election and Calling. 2 Peter is not just about Peter's time; it's also for us today in that Peter teaches us how to think about God, ourselves, sin, obedience, worship, suffering, community, and hope. His letter invites us to come close to him to understand Jesus and to respond to him. It's a letter written to warn people about false teachers, but also to stir us out of spiritual laziness. Peter reminds us that God is working with real people in real places; his letter's not about throwing ideas about who Jesus is out to the people; it points us to Jesus who acts, speaks, judges, saves, and guides his people.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the July 27th episode of the Daily Radio Bible. On this 209th day of our journey through the Scriptures, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, invites you to warm yourself by the fires of God's love and discover the living word that points us to Christ. Today, our readings take us through Isaiah 50-52, Psalm 92, and 2 Peter 1, where we encounter declarations of hope, justice, and a call to courageous faith rooted in the unshakeable love of God. As Hunter reflects on Peter's confidence from the Mount of Transfiguration, you'll be encouraged to trust in God's promises, experience His love, and find renewed courage for your journey. Join us as we listen, pray, and remember together: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Need a confidence boost. Peter's experience on the Mount of Transfiguration filled him with confidence. He recalled that experience here in our reading in Second Peter, verse 19, when he says, because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message we proclaim by the prophets. Hearing the voice of God built his confidence. What he heard was God's declaration of love for his son. God's voice broke out and said, this is my Son, whom I love. With him, I am well pleased. Listen to him. Peter is still drawing confidence from this word, this declaration of God's love for his Son. Peter is drawing confidence from this experience because there he was awakened to the love of God. In John 17, Jesus is speaking to the Father and he says, I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. This was starting to happen for Peter, this realization that God loved him just as he loved Jesus the Son. And this truth would begin to take hold and take root in Peter's life. It was this knowledge and experience of God's love that gave him confidence to move forward. Have you experienced the love of the Father? Experiencing His love transforms us from the inside out. It gives us confidence. It gives us courage to move forward. If you're feeling unconfident, that's okay. Just listen to the words proclaimed over Jesus: you are God's child and you are loved. That seed will take some time to grow in your life, just as it did with Peter. But allow the Holy Spirit to nurture this reality in your life and grow. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Listen along as we continue our journey through 2 Peter. Notes//Quotes: 2 Peter 1:16-21 I have seen the face of Jesus— Tell me not of aught beside; I have heard the voice of Jesus—All my soul is satisfied. In the radiance of the glory, First I saw His blessed face, And forever shall that glory Be my home, my dwelling-place. 2 Tim 3:16-17 The value of inspiration emerges, as twofold. It gives to the books written under its bearing a quality which is truly superhuman; a trustworthiness, an authority, a searchingness, a profundity, a profitableness which is altogether Divine. And it speaks this Divine word immediately to each reader's heart and conscience; so that he does not require to make his way to God, painfully, perhaps even uncertainly, through the words of His servants, the human instruments in writing the Scriptures, but can listen directly to the Divine voice itself speaking immediately in the Scriptural word to him. BB Warfield “We read scripture in order to be refreshed in our memory and understanding of the story within which we ourselves are actors, to be reminded where it has come from and where it is going to, and hence what our own part within it ought to be.” - NT Wright, Scripture and the Authority of God 1. Where in your life do you already know what needs to change, but continue to avoid the cost of changing it? 2. What has become so normal in your life that you no longer notice how much it is diminishing your vitality? 3. If someone looked only at the way you spend your time, energy, and attention, what would they assume matters most to you?

Message Take Aways:1. The believer is called to godliness, and the Lord has granted everything we need to walk accordingly—“walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory” 1 Thessalonians 2:122. The believer is to actively pursue growth in their personal walk with the Lord—“we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ” Ephesians 4:14-153. The promise of coming glory has been proclaimed in the Gospel, demonstrated by the transfiguration of Jesus Christ, and declared throughout the whole counsel of Scripture—“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” Philippians 3:20-21
Listen along as we continue through 2 Peter. Notes//Quotes: 2 Peter 1:10-15 - Jorgen/Larry Title: Last Words “In this sense holiness refers to a state of being separate, set apart from the ordinary or mundane and dedicated to a particular purpose or use. The Hebrew adjective for "holy" (qadosh) literally means "separate," since it derives from a verb meaning "to cut off" or "to separate!" Together with its cognates it is used to designate particular places (especially the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies), objects (e.g., Aaron's garments and the Sabbath day, and persons (e.g., the priests and Levites) as specially set apart or sanctified to the Lord. An example is found in Exodus 13:2: "Consecrate to me all the first-born; whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine." Similarly, the holiness of God signifies his separateness from anything impure.” - Millard Erickson “those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…” (1 Cor. 1:2) “The term sanctification does not appear in the Synoptic Gospels at all. To convey the idea that our lives are to be pure, Jesus emphasized instead that we are children of God. We belong to God and consequently should show a likeness to him. We should share his spirit of love: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy! But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-45a). To Jesus, his brother and sister are those who do God's will (Mark 3:35). Paul shares this conception that our status before God is to result in holy living. For example, he urges the Ephesians, "I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called" (Eph. 4:1). He then goes on to specify a life of lowliness, meekness, patience, and forbearance. The fact of belonging to God is to issue in moral attributes reflecting such a status.” - Millard Erickson “Our reckoning with purity culture is good and necessary. It's helped many Christians rediscover a God who loves wounded people, not perfect performances, but I fear that in the process of tearing down purity culture, we may have kissed purity itself goodbye. And that's a problem. My generation is porn addicted, drug dependent, dopamine sick, irony poisoned, attention fractured, and spiritually starved. We've traded repression for indulgence, and the result isn't freedom-it's decay. It turns out the Christian sexual ethic once derided as prudish is one of the last coherent frameworks for love, dignity, and belonging. Purity, rightly understood, isn't about fear. It's about reverence. It's not about suppressing desire but directing it.” - Luke Simons “15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…” (Romans 8:15&16)

Listen along as we begin our series through 2 Peter. Notes//Quotes: 2 Peter 1:1-9 Knowing God is more than knowing about Him; it is a matter of dealing with Him as He opens up to you, and being dealt with by Him as he takes knowledge of you. Knowing about Him is a necessary precondition of trusting in Him, but the width of our knowledge about Him is no gauge of the depth of our knowledge of Him. JI Packer “Participating in the divine nature” is, then, a great and precious privilege: Through our union with Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we share in something of God's own holy nature, separated from the corrupt world around us. And it is precisely “for that reason” (v. 5) that we called on to progress in holiness and godliness. But the very fact that Peter goes on to encourage us to make such progress shows that participating in the divine nature does not bring us into a state of sinlessness or even into a situation in which we can lay back and simply enjoy our new status.” Douglas Moo Christian faith is the root from which all these virtues must grow, and Christian love is the crowning virtue to which all the others must contribute. In a list of this kind, the last item has a unique significance. It is not just the most important virtue, but also the virtue which encompasses all the others. Love is the overriding ethical principle from which the other virtues gain their meaning and validity. Thus the author of 2 Peter sees that some of the ethical ideals of pagan society should also be Christian ideals, but only if they are subordinated to and reinterpreted by the Christian ideal of love. - Richard Bauckham Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone- Dallas Willard I am learning from Jesus to live my life as he would live my life if he were I. I am not necessarily learning to do everything he did, but I am learning how to do everything I do in the manner that He did all that he did. - Dallas Willard
https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us back to 2 Peter 1, where Peter points the church to something more solid than personal experience: the Word of God. Peter had seen the glory of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, heard the voice of the Father, and witnessed majesty with his own eyes—yet he still directs believers to the prophetic Word as a lamp shining in a dark place.2 Peter 1 reminds us that Scripture is not man's opinion about God; it is the Word of God carried along by the Holy Spirit. The same voice that spoke on the mountain is the voice that speaks through the Scriptures. So today, read 2 Peter 1 and pay attention to the Word: open it, hear it, trust it, and let the voice of God shine light into every dark place.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading begins a new journey in 2 Peter 1, where Peter warns the church against the danger of false teaching by calling believers to grow in true faith. Before he confronts error, he reminds us that we have been saved, secured, and given everything we need for life and godliness through Christ. The Christian life is not stagnant; faith is meant to grow.Peter tells us to supplement our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. These are not additions to earn salvation, but evidence of a life being shaped by Jesus. So today, read 2 Peter 1 and ask the Lord to grow you: be good, be informed, be strong, be patient, be godly, be approachable, and let everything be marked by the love of Christ.

In the final message of our Half-Hearted series, Pastor Joe Baker challenges us to move beyond casual Christianity and pursue a wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Through 2 Peter 1, we discover that spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident—it requires intentional effort, daily surrender, and a growing hunger to know God more. Pastor Joe unpacks how qualities like faith, virtue, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, and love serve as a spiritual barometer for our hearts, helping us recognize when our faith has stalled and calling us back to wonder, intimacy, and wholehearted discipleship. No matter where you are in your journey, this message is an invitation to remember what Jesus has done, reignite your passion for Him, and never get over the gospel.
In this episode, Nancy Wilson reflects on the opening verses of 2 Peter 1, considering the great promises God has already given His people before calling them to add virtue to their lives. Find more from Nancy and others on Canon+: https://canonplus.com/tabs/none/pages/nancy-wilson
