S6E69: Contend for the Faith (Practical Wisdom from Jude pt. 2)
Sermon #342
The greatest attacks on the church of Jesus Christ come not from outside of it, but from inside. It is not the world and its pagan, Godless ways that we as Christians must battle, but false teaching from within. And so Jude, wanting to write a letter celebrating the common salvation he shares with other Christians, instead felt the urgency to fire off a letter inciting the church to "contend for the faith." In today's message we see that what Jude's audience was contending against is not so unlike the things facing modern Christians, and we look at the difference between legalism and license, and where the true Gospel of Christ falls between them.
