2 Sabbath School Ministry 9:40am, Sanctuary Presented by Elder John Olive Scripture Reading and Prayer Church at Study Closing Prayer Memory Text: We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts (2 Peter 1:19). Thoughts to Ponder: As we continue to study the letters of Peter, one point should stand out: how confident and how certain Peter is in what he is writing. We can see the same with Paul: clear and firm conviction about what they are proclaiming in regard to Jesus Christ and the Cross. So like them we should learn from the Scriptures what is truth, and then to walk in the light and encourage others to follow Christ example. We should day by day study the Bible diligently, weighing every thought and comparing scripture with scripture. With divine help we are to form our opinions for ourselves as we are to answer for ourselves before God.
