    GROWTH PART 4: knowledge
    Jun 15 2026
    In 2 Peter 1:1-11, the apostle outlines a profound, progressive pathway for character development—often referred to as Peter's Ladder of Sanctification. This passage presents a beautiful synergy between God’s empowering grace and our diligent human effort. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the text, using the King James Version, exploring how each step builds upon the last to restore the image of God in humanity. The Divine Foundation (Verses 1–4) Before Peter asks us to climb, he establishes that God has already provided the ladder and the strength to ascend it. The Source of Life (v. 3): "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness..." True to His nature, God is the supreme giver of life (John 10:10). He does not leave us to our own destructive devices; instead, He equips us with everything necessary for spiritual vitality. The Promises and the Escape (v. 4): Through "exceeding great and precious promises," we are invited to become "partakers of the divine nature." The alternative to partaking in God's nature is facing the "corruption that is in the world through lust." Because sin is inherently destructive and carries its own natural, fatal consequences, taking hold of these promises is our only means of escaping spiritual death. The Eight Steps of Ascent (Verses 5–7) With the foundation laid, Peter outlines the active, progressive work of sanctification. He urges believers to "giving all diligence, add to your faith..." Sanctification is not instantaneous; it is a continuous, lifelong work where we add grace to grace, while God multiplies those graces within us (v. 2).

    Deeper Part 3 : Growing By Knowing
    May 17 2026
    "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple." — Psalms 19:7 In a world filled with surface-level noise, how do we find the substance that truly changes a life? Welcome to Deeper, a special broadcast series on From The Heart Radio. Taking our foundation from the timeless words of Psalms 19:7-11 [KJV], we explore the "gold" of God’s Word. We are told that the statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart, and more to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold. But we must ask ourselves: what is the purpose of seeking this gold? In this series, we challenge the idea that Bible study is merely an intellectual exercise or a collection of facts. True "depth" is not found in the accumulation of data, but in the intimacy of a relationship with Jesus Christ. If our study does not lead us to the feet of the Saviour, we risk the danger of spiritual stagnation. The gold is transformation, not stagnation. The Word of God is intended to be a "converting" force. It is the "warning" that preserves us and the "great reward" that sustains us. When we go deeper into the heart of Christ, we find that His law isn't a set of cold restrictions, but a transcript of His character—a character He desires to reproduce in us. We invite you to stop wading in the shallows and join us as we dive into the life-changing power of the Gospel. Special Event Announcement Please join us for a powerful series of presentations running from April 19th through April 22nd. Whether you are seeking a revival of your prayer life or a clearer understanding of God’s will in these final days, these sessions are designed to help you experience the "converting of the soul" that only comes through a walk with the Master. Don’t just study the Word. Know the Word made flesh. Join us on From The Heart Radio and let’s go Deeper.
