Peter wrote his final letter with a grave in plain view - and he spent his last ink teaching you how to stand.
Smooth-talking teachers inside the church. Scoffers outside it who mock the promise of the Lord's return. The dangers Peter named have never left us. Firm-Footed Faith walks you through his second letter one passage at a time, across thirteen sessions, and shows how a faith anchored in the genuine knowledge of Christ keeps its footing when everything pulls at it.
Drawn from more than forty-six years in the pulpit, each week's study:
Prints the full passage in both the King James Version and the Lexham English BibleWeighs the words Peter chose, with the Greek explained in plain EnglishSets each verse in the first-century world of its readersNever flinches from the hard places - the angels that sinned, the long delay before the Lord returns, the day the heavens pass awayEnds where Peter always ends: living it out, with concrete steps and discussion questions for groups or personal studyWhether you teach the Bible to others or opened one for the first time this year, these pages will set your feet on solid rock - and equip you to steady others. Peter staked his final letter on one promise: "If ye do these things, ye shall never fall." The man who once fell hardest is the man God chose to teach us how to stand.
