The Reason for Our Hope

Jude 24-25

June 23, 2024 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Jude 24–25

Give

In the final two verses of his letter, Jude concludes with the most important thing for us to remember: that the source of our strength and hope to contend for the gospel and keep ourselves in the love of God is not dependent on us, but on God alone. He points us to God’s power and preeminence, encouraging us to properly align our worship to the only One who is worthy of it. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Keep Yourselves in the Love of God

June 16, 2024 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • Jude 17–23

In Jude 17-23, we are shown how to contend for the faith without tearing down the church as we attempt to silence the scoffers and corral false doctrine. We do this by remembering the truth of God's Word, keeping ourselves in the love of God, and showing mercy to those around us just as the Lord has shown great mercy to us.

The Path That Leads to Destruction, Part 2

June 9, 2024 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Jude 11–16

In this sermon from Jude 11-16, we look at the continued warnings regarding the dangerous teaching and lifestyle of the false teachers. Jude now focuses on their pride and love of self and warns of the destruction this leads to. We should reject the ways of these false teachers and instead turn to Christ, who alone can forgive us of selfishness, greed, and rebellion, transforming our hearts and receiving us as sons and daughters.

The Path That Leads to Destruction

June 2, 2024 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Jude 8–10

In this sermon from Jude 8-10, we see Jude’s continued warning, describing the reasoning the false teachers use to justify their sin and the consequences that await them for their rebellion. Because false teachers ignore the objective truth of God’s Word and choose to live by their subjective feelings and beliefs, they are on a path to destruction that we would do well not to follow.
