Jude 17–25. I want to remind you of Jude’s point. He reminds the church that they are being kept by God, so they should contend for the faith that has come under attack through false teaching. This false teaching is a distorted form of Christianity that does not submit to the fundamentals of the faith. In this final section, Jude wants to tell us what it means to contend for the faith. I think this is a fitting message as the final one I will preach to you. Your job as a local congregation is to contend for the faith. I have six things I want to show you from the passage. So let’s take a look at the text. Sermon for September 27, 2020.

God Over Us
Jude 8–16. We have a terrible tendency in the modern world to think that God is controllable or subservient to us. If we are honest, we might think he has to answer to us. We might even say, “He will have to explain this to me when we meet.” Such talk reveals a critical problem. It is the problem of playing God. We put ourselves in the position of God. We can do this in numerous ways.
This is precisely what the false teachers are doing. They have gone their own way. They have set their own standards, and in doing so, they have placed themselves over God. They are not submitting to him or his Word. They are a lesson for us to keep submitting to God’s Word, to not chart our own path, but instead to return to Scripture. Sermon for September 20, 2020.

Hold the Line
Jude 1–7. The pressure is growing. The world feels so uncertain. Life is absolutely unpredictable. And I know a question on many of your minds is what is the future of the church. Jude writes to a church facing pressure. False teachers are calling them to compromise. The risk is that they will fall away, that they will abandon the gospel. But Jude’s message is simple: God is able to keep you, so struggle for the faith.
In these first eight verses, Jude says to us, “Hold the Line.” The earth may feel like it’s shifting from underneath our feet. The mountains may be quaking. The world may look bleak. The cultural pressures may be building against the church. Hold the line because God will keep those who are his through all eternity. Stay steadfast because eternity is at stake. Sermon for Sept 13, 2020.
