Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition examining A Flood And A Fire as two notorious Old Testament judgments that demonstrate God's righteous character. Drawing from 2 Peter 2:5-6, Osman explores how the global flood of Noah's day and the fiery destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah serve as historical evidence of divine justice against sin. A Flood And A Fire reveals that these judgments were historic, global, cataclysmic, just, and yet spared the righteous—Noah with seven others and Lot respectively. The teaching demonstrates that these destructions were not cleverly devised fables but actual historical events intended as examples for those who would thereafter live ungodly lives. Osman emphasizes that God's past judgments validate His future promises, warning that while current judgment is delayed, it is certain—next time not by water but by fire as Second Peter 3 promises. ★ Support this podcast ★
Peter warns the church that false teachers are marked not only by what they say, but by what they love—arrogance, sensuality, and greed that enslave both them and those they influence. As the passage exposes their emptiness and promised “freedom,” it also makes plain God's certain judgment on those who know the truth yet turn back to corruption. Believers are called to stay on guard, hate their sin, and keep their eyes on Jesus by following leaders whose lives are being shaped by the Word.
Jim Osman examines how judgment and deliverance work together throughout biblical history. Peter uses three powerful examples of judgment and deliverance: the angels who sinned, the flood of Noah, and Sodom and Gomorrah. These historical accounts demonstrate God's consistent pattern of executing judgment while delivering the righteous. Through judgment and deliverance, believers learn that God has a proven track record of punishing wickedness and rescuing those who trust Him. Understanding these examples of judgment and deliverance encourages Christians to live righteously while confidently expecting both God's coming judgment on the wicked and His gracious deliverance of the faithful. ★ Support this podcast ★

2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

In this sermon, we follow Peter's sobering reminder that God has never failed to judge wickedness—whether angels, the ancient world, or the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Yet right alongside these acts of justice, God has always preserved His people. This passage calls us to take sin seriously while resting in the unwavering promise that the Lord “knows how to rescue the godly from trials,” even when evil seems overwhelming.
Jim Osman exposes the greed and exploitation of false teachers who use plastic words to merchandise believers. These deceivers appeal to covetousness while masking sensual desires and avarice behind fabricated doctrines. The greed and exploitation of false teachers manifest through fraudulent ministries that prey on vulnerable souls, promising prosperity while extracting wealth. Peter warns that certain judgment awaits these false teachers who exploit others through greed, making contentment the essential defense against their deceptive schemes and plastic words. ★ Support this podcast ★
In our passage, Peter continues to address false teachers by raising a question that many of us have: How is it that, as false teachers seem to be succeeding, it appears God remains silent while they distort God's Word and lead people astray? Peter will answer this question and show us that their judgment is coming soon. He will also equip his readers to recognize a false teacher by their character and teachings.
TJ Daugherty continues preaching through the book of 2 Peter.
In this episode of The Postscript, Pastor Andrew Lovette and Dashawn Cousins dive deep into 2 Peter 2, emphasizing the seriousness of Peter's warnings against false prophets and teachers. They discuss the challenges of preparing sermons on such weighty topics and highlight Peter's life experiences with Paul and others. The conversation explores the importance of aligning the sermon's tone with the text's seriousness, the historical examples of God's judgment, and the necessity for believers to be vigilant, humble, and faithful. Tune in to reflect more deeply on the scripture and its implications for discerning truth and safeguarding one's faith.

False teaching is subtle, seductive, and spiritually dangerous—but God has given His people a sure and steady Word. In this sermon, we look at the behaviors and motivations of false teachers and consider the far more uncomfortable reality: that the seeds of distortion grow in every human heart. Peter calls us not only to watch for falsehood around us but also to confront the fear, pride, and desire for ease that can lead us astray.
Jim Osman examines the seduction and lust of false teachers through 2 Peter 2:1-3, warning believers against dangerous deceptions. False teachers operate in a symbiotic relationship with followers who desire teachings that justify their lusts, while teachers gain platforms, money, and power. Peter warns that many will follow their sensuality, thereby maligning the way of truth. These unbelievers are driven by unrestrained immorality, marked by sensuality throughout Scripture.The Charismatic movement provides the largest environment where such teachers flourish, promoting unbridled emotionalism and doctrinal looseness. The antidote requires believers to live above reproach, making the gospel convincing through transformed lives rather than bringing reproach upon Christ's name. ★ Support this podcast ★
As Peter directly addresses false teachers, one wonders whythe Lord allows them to infiltrate the church. The Christian life is hardenough in dealing with the world, our flesh, and the devil; now we need to dealwith false teachers as well. How do we discern between a false and a trueteacher?
