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.

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.

David Forsyth explores Moses' timeless pattern for prayer found in Psalm 90, revealing three essential elements for believers facing adversity and sorrow. This pattern for prayer begins by centering hope in God's eternal nature as our sovereign creator and refuge. Moses then guides us to consider our mortality honestly, acknowledging both life's brevity and God's righteous anger toward sin. Finally, this biblical pattern for prayer calls us to pray with courage—asking for wisdom to number our days, relief from affliction through the promised resurrection, and meaning in our work as we await Christ's return and the restoration of all things.
