3 Jun • Supporting our faith so that it grows

Remote video URL

God gives us faith, but God also provides other gifts to supplement and support our faith, such as goodness, knowledge, endurance, and love. Let us make use of these further gifts to grow our faith.

Based on 2 Peter 1:2-7:

May grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Thus he has given us, through these things, his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants in the divine nature. For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.
