Passing on the Faith

If life were a minefield, wouldn't you value knowing the truth of how to navigate through it safely? The short book of Jude calls its readers to remember the truth about who they are and to contend for the faith they were called into, so that those who come after them will know the truth, too.

A Guaranteed Win

January 30, 2022 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Jude 24–25

Like it or not, there are no guarantees in life. Yet followers of Jesus do have the guarantee of His ultimate win over sin, death, and the Enemy, and that He will finish the good work He started in each of us. It is to celebrate this amazing truth that Jude concludes his epistle with a doxology of praise, adoration, and exaltation. Through Christ, we shall be victorious - so let's contend for the faith!

Build Yourself Up

January 23, 2022 • Pastor Jeremy MacDonald • Jude 17–23

There is a battle raging inside each one of us. Our animalistic cravings contend to break us down, and we need to constantly be walking in the power of the Holy Spirit to build us up. Jude's is an urgent message. False messages and evil influences abound, with the only way forward being a life obedient to Christ and remaining in His love. Let's contend for the faith!

Lessons from the Past

January 9, 2022 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • Jude 5–11

Have you ever gone into a room, only to forget why you went there? As we get older, we tend to become more forgetful. Regardless of age, forgetfulness is a serious human condition that makes us prone to make the same mistakes again and again. That's why there is tremendous value in studying history and remembering long past events - particularly those recorded in the Bible - as a means of warning us of the consequences of evil that's been allowed to grow inside the human heart. So let's read the stories again, read them to our children, and contend for the faith.
