Last Sunday's Sermon
Contending for the Faith
Jude is a short letter that packs a punch. He demonstrates that the Christian faith is something worth fighting for, and then shows us how to do it in a way that matches the grace and love of the gospel. The Christian faith, Jude says, is true, beautiful, and life changing. When some claim that faith but avoid its implications, we have to contend! But Jude counsels us to do so by keeping ourselves in the love of God and remembering that, in the gospel, God keeps us as well.
Application Questions
1. How have you found the Christian faith both true and beautiful?
2. "Grace leads you toward Christ as Lord, not away from him." How have you seen this true in your own life? How is denying this truth destructive?
3. How can you practically "keep yourself in the love of God," and keep others there as well?
4. How does the way God "keeps you" in the gospel encourage you?
