Practicing Righteousness, Not Performing It
Be careful not to do good things just to get attention. If you do them so people will notice you, the only reward you’ll get is their praise. There won’t be a reward from God.

Reliability & Rising Above Retaliation
God sets the incredible example for us in loving His enemies, not only by giving them life and provision, but ultimately by sending Jesus, who would give his very life as a gift for his enemies.

God's Will For Marriage
Jesus teaches that God’s will is for a man to be faithful to his wife both physically and mentally; God’s will is for a man to be faithful to his wife in body and soul. This is the true righteousness of Jesus that continues to be true to this day. All of us married men should be striving for this quality of faithfulness with our wives.

Gospel of the Messiah & His Kingdom Come
Israel's mission was to reveal God to the nations (Deut. 4:6-8). But Israel failed to accomplish her mission because she failed in the three ways the devil will test Jesus. Will Jesus, the new Israel, fail too?

A Man on a Mission
God Will Send Another Prophet Like Elijah. This prophet will prepare the way for the LORD. There will be judgment on the proud and wicked. There will be mercy and rejoicing for the righteous.

Herod's Rage vs. God's Plan
Jewish communities were spread throughout the Nile Delta and along trade routes. Many Jews settled in Egypt for economic opportunities, military service, or as refugees from persecution.

Animosity, Apathy, Awe
Though Herod was only half Jewish, he was given the title of “King of the Jews” by Rome in 40 BC. He took control of Jerusalem in 37 BC until his death in 4 BC. Despite great achievements, he was a vicious man consumed by suspicion and paranoia.

The Ancestry of Jesus Christ
Throughout his gospel, Matthew will show over and over again the various ways Jesus fulfills the COVENANTS and PROPHECIES of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Matthew - Introduction
What Are Matthew’s Main Themes? Matthew proves Jesus is the Messiah. Matthew shows that Jesus did not fail to establish the kingdom (the failure was the nation of Israel’s). Because the nation of Israel failed to respond, the Gospel was now open to Gentiles.

Bitterness
Like a root, bitterness puts off poison fruit like slander, lying, malice, hatred, anxiety, division.

Manipulation
Manipulation comes in many forms, but in all its various forms it is always a matter of control and it always plays on the desires of the other person. The manipulator plays on the other person’s desire for love and acceptance. Manipulation plays on the other person’s desire for safety and security for themselves and for others they love.

Valueing God's Patience
The delay of Jesus’ second coming is not evidence of a failed prophecy, but the manifestation of God’s loving patience. The delay has and is giving opportunity for people from every tribe, tongue and nation to be reconciled to God. God wants a big family with Him in the New Heaven and the New Earth (3:13)! It is our privilege to serve God’s patient purpose by sharing the way of salvation with those not yet reconciled.

Jesus Is Coming Again
Contrary to the contention that everything has continued the same since God created all things by His Word, Peter points out that God destroyed all things by His Word and with water through the Flood. Though the false teachers deliberately leave out the Flood, Peter makes clear a cataclysmic event of judgment happened in the past and that another is promised for the future, only this one will be through fire.

The Fate Of False Teachers
False teachers are doomed for destruction. As they introduce destructive heresies, they are “bringing upon themselves swift destruction.” (2:1). Their judgment is certain: “Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” (2:3).

How To Recognize False Teachers
In verse 10, Peter calls these false teachers bold and willful. Together, these words describe people who are recklessly and ruthlessly determined to have their own way. Their arrogance is driven by claims to have received direct revelation from God by means of dreams. Jude notes that "relying on their dreams" these false teachers will blaspheme/slander spirit beings (Jude 8).

The Lord Knows How
The Flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are historical examples of how God, on one hand, punished the unrighteous, and on the other, rescued the godly from temptation.
Jan 12, 2025•46 min
Be Alert!
These false teachers will secretly bring in what Peter calls "destructive heresies". Originally heresy meant "to make a choice", but over time and usage it came to mean "a sect, or party". The false teachers will be divisive because their teachings will cause division and schism within the church family instead of unity (Eph. 4:1-6).
