Jude teaches about the dangers we face in church and life. In the first 20 verses of his letter, Jude explains the problems in our church that we may not even realize are there.

Key Points:

  • Jude didn’t want to write this letter.
  • We have a faith worth defending.
  • The faith is under attack from those on the inside.
  • If we fail to spot false teachers, then we will be deceived by their lies.
  • We fight false teaching when we pursue the truth together.

Quote This:

Jude 1:4 The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
