Justin Peters examines the sin of partiality in James 2:1-9. He reveals how favoritism contradicts God's impartial nature. Peters uses practical examples to show that showing preference based on wealth dishonors God's image in all people. The sin of partiality betrays a misunderstanding of the gospel. Christians must embrace God's impartial character. They should remember that divine election humbles believers. God chose them by grace alone, not personal merit.

Jim Osman unpacks 2 Peter 1:10-11 in this sermon on making election sure. He exhorts believers to pursue spiritual diligence by cultivating Christian virtues, thereby confirming their calling and election. Making election sure offers assurance of salvation, steadiness in faith, and a confident entrance into Christ’s eternal kingdom. Osman's message clarifies that assurance is both possible and desirable for Christians who walk in holiness and trust in Christ alone.

Jim Osman contrasts the diligent and the negligent believer in this powerful exposition of 2 Peter 1:8-9. He explains how a fruitful Christian life grows through consistent effort rather than relying on shortcuts or quick fixes. Those who pursue godly virtues with diligence experience a fruitful Christian life marked by usefulness and growth, while others risk becoming spiritually blind and forgetful of God’s grace.

In this message, Pastor Jim Osman begins a detailed study of eight fruitful virtues from 2 Peter 1:5-7. These qualities—beginning with faith and extending through self-control—are to be cultivated with diligence by every believer. Osman clearly explains how the eight fruitful virtues form a foundation for a Christ-honoring life. This rich teaching encourages self-examination and growth in godliness.

Jim Osman teaches that applying all diligence is essential for Christian growth. Believers must cultivate virtues such as moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, and love. By using all diligence, Christians respond to God’s grace earnestly, avoiding legalism and complacency. Osman underscores that this pursuit is not about earning salvation but working it out through sanctification, grounded in faith and empowered by God’s provision.

In this message, Jeff Williams explores the Logos revealed in John 1:1-18, showing how Jesus Christ is the eternal Creator who entered creation to dwell with humanity and reveal the Father. The revealed Logos confronts Jewish and Greek worldviews and invites us to respond in faith. Williams highlights how this passage magnifies grace and frames our stewardship as believers in light of Christ’s divine identity.

In this sermon, Jim Osman unpacks the precious promises of God found in 2 Peter 1:3-4, showing how they reflect His nature and empower believers to holiness. The precious promises of God are both a revelation of His divine character and a means of escape from the world's corruption. Through them, Christians share in the divine nature and grow in sanctification.
