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.

In this sermon, Jim Osman explores the effectual call of God and its role in the salvation of sinners. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:3-4, he explains how salvation is not merely a result of hearing the gospel but of being irresistibly drawn by the power and glory of Christ. The effectual call of God transforms the heart, opening spiritual eyes and ears, leading to repentance, faith, and a desire for holiness. This call is central to the believer’s new life and identity in Christ.

In this sermon, Jim Osman explains how believers have already been given everything for holiness through Christ's power, person, and promises. Grounded in 2 Peter 1:2-4, Osman emphasizes that Christians are fully equipped to live obedient, godly lives. By highlighting divine sufficiency, he dismantles modern spiritual gimmicks that claim to offer more. Everything for holiness comes from knowing Christ and embracing what God has already provided.
