Jude 20-23

November 17, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 20–23

Jude transitions to the final section of the book in verses 20-23. Jude issues 6 ethical commands that Christians are to do for their savior. Not to earn God's love, but because of it! Join us as we near the end of this beautiful book and revel in the good old Gospel truths!

Jude 17-19

November 10, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 17–19

After making the case against the false teachers, now Jude turns to encourage his people with three powerful truths. This week, Jude encourages his people to remember: 1) stand on God's Word alone, 2) by the Spirit of God alone, 3) until Christ calls us home!

Jude 8-16

November 3, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 8–16

Jude takes on the role of prosecuting attorney in verses 8-16. He presents the undeniable evidence against the false teachers in his congregation and levels 3 powerful indictments that will lead to their destruction. But, for the Christian, who have an advocate in Jesus Christ, there is hope!

Jude 6-7

October 26, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 6–7

Jude unpacks the doctrine of destruction. He began in verse 5 by showing that unbelief in Christ leads to destruction. This week, Jude teaches us that unbelief in Christ leads to a certain and permanent judgment. Join us this week as we explore the doctrine of hell and how it is avoidable for all who are in Christ.

Jude 5

October 19, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 5

After teaching his church about wolves that were infiltrating the church, Jude turns to his congregation to offer them hope. He reminds them that both salvation and condemnation belong to Christ, and in both of these things God gets the glory! Join us this week as we explore Jude's theology of salvation and also damnation.

Jude 4 (Part II)

October 12, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 4

Last week we looked at Jude 4 and examined what wolves do when they get into the church. This week we went back to Jude 4 and examined who wolves are, and what should the proper Biblical response be.

Jude 4 (Part I)

October 5, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 4

Jude says that wolves will come into the church of God and that they will do so in four stages. 1) They will sneak into the church unnoticed. 2) They will demonstrate how they have been marked out for destruction. 3) They will devolve into ungodliness and will use Scripture to justify their behavior, and 4) Ultimately they will denounce Christ, either through their behavior or doctrine.

Jude 3

September 28, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 3

After equipping us with truth, Jude calls us to contend! But, what does that mean? And what are we contending for? Better still, how do we contend? Check out this weeks sermon to find out more.

Jude 2

September 21, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 2

The way human beings grow in the grace of God is not by active effort and energy, or by moralism or religiosity. The way human beings grow is when God, who calls them, loves them, and keeps them, works mercy, peace, and love inside of them. Join us as we learn how to grow together by examining Jude verse 2.

Jude 1b

September 14, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 1

The most sure and steady hope for any Christian is that they are called by God, beloved by God, and kept for Jesus Christ. When we know that, we can face anything. Join us as we explore what these three beautiful truths mean and why they give us such great hope!

Jude 1a

September 7, 2019 • Kendall Lankford • Jude 1

Jude does not begin with the problems the church is facing, even while those are very important. Jude begins with who we are as believers. He begins with the simple but fundamental point that we are slaves of Christ. Why? Because knowing that truth equips us to deal with the problems we face. We are powerless. We are slaves. We cannot face anything in our own strength. But as we will see, being a slave of Christ means that we get His authority, His honor, and His courage because we belong to Him. And in His strength, we can do everything He has called us to do.
