Sermon Preview:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
On Sunday, our sermon series on the Epistle of Jude will come to an end. We will take a look at the final two verses in the letter. What we discover here at the end of the Epistle is a glorious doxology!
It would be hard to imagine any more encouraging and reassuring words than the ones recorded in verses 24-25.
Our message will be structured upon two key points that we discover in Jude’s final words:
There is a grand promise to believe (v. 24)
There is a worthy response to offer (v. 25)
For all those Christians who are battle-weary, fearful in the fight for the faith, unsure of final victory, and assailed by the enemy’s persistent taunts, there is the greatest news of all! I can’t wait to explore God’s Word with each of you this Lord’s Day!
Looking ahead to next week, the Lord willing we will begin a new series of messages from the Gospel of Luke. We will be tracing Luke’s record of the public ministry of Jesus from Luke 3:21 through 22:53.
Before I go, please remember that Officer Nominations are now underway. The last day to receive your ballots will be Sunday October 2.
You are my joy, and I love you all dearly,
Mike
