2 Peter 1:10-11 says you have a role in securing your calling and election. How can your actions affect what God has already done? And how can you anchor your faith to ensure you never drift away? In this message, we dive deep into: * The biblical meaning of election as God's choice for salvation (Ephesians 1:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:13). * How calling isn't just an invitation but God's powerful draw to share in His divine nature (2 Peter 1:3-4). * Warnings from Romans 9-11 about the fluid nature of election based on faith and perseverance. * Practical steps to overcome spiritual complacency and grow in virtues by trusting God's promises (2 Peter 1:5-9).

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.
