Pastor Pierucki preaches from 1 and 2 Peter, showing that Peter's letters both open with an emphasis on the Word of God, which Peter placed above even what he saw and heard on the mount of transfiguration. He shares stories of deathbed visions, an out-of-body experience, and answered prayer, but stresses that our faith cannot rest on experiences or feelings. It must rest on the Word of God, by which we are born again, kept saved, and made victorious. He warns against false teaching, apostasy, and forgetting that we were purged from our old sins, and urges believers to live by faith in what God has said.

“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 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: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”2 Peter 1:16-21 (KJV)
