Text – 2 Peter 2:6-8



[Camp Discussion]

Since I anticipated a lot of students who would be in class that haven't been with us in the beginning chapters of Second Peter, we're going to look at the principles of Second Peter 2, but from a stand-alone topic, which is Sodom and Gomorrah. If ever there were a topic that should have a manuscript that your parents could read, it should be this one, but due to camp circumstances I did not prepare a manuscript, so we are recording this so the audio will be available to your parents.
