Notes from Truly Knowing Him: a series in 2 Peter (pts 2-4) by Andrew Farley
There are opponents to the Gospel, and in 2 Peter, the apostle aims to address them, to shoot them down.

Buzzwords! by Andrew Farley
'We are both saint and sinner.' - It all sounds good, but it sounds good before salvation.
