Apostates from the Past and Their Judgment (Jude 5-7)
Monday Apr 27, 2020
Monday Apr 27, 2020
JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES
The Israelite's demonstrated faithless unbelief when they accepted the discouraging report from the ten spies, even though God had already given them the land and had instructed them to go take possession of it. The author of Hebrews writes in Hebrews 11:6, Now without faith it is impossible to please God.
Just as the Sodomites were physically immoral, so the apostates and false teachers are spiritually immoral. The fire and brimstone that rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah is proof that God does and will judge sin. Hebrews 12:9 says that the God of Heaven is a consuming fire. Over and over in Scripture we are warned about the fierce judgment of God upon the wicked.
Hell is one of the doctrines that apostates attempt to do away with. Today, when hell is brought up, it will likely be met with ridicule, after all, only the ignorant could really believe in such a place.
Unbelief and faith cannot coexist, and unbelief will always result in eternal spiritual death.
In today’s study, Dr. Gonzalez discusses the three examples from the past and their awful results.

Warning Against Apostates (Jude 4)

JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES
Jude’s warning to Christians and the Church is occasioned by the appearance and infiltration of false teachers in the churches, pointing out that their goal is to destroy biblical faith, biblical Christianity.
He is not simply interested in condemning the false teachers, but more than anything he wants to explain their presence in order to ensure that Christians understand their clear and present danger, and are cautious when engaging them as they contend earnestly for the faith.
In today’s study, Warning Concerning Apostates, Dr. Gonzalez will point out their craftiness, condemnation, character, corruption, and creed.

Contend for the Faith (Jude 3)
Tuesday Apr 21, 2020

JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES
The imagery of the soldier is used many times in Scripture to depict the Christian. Paul said, No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier (2 Tim. 2:4). Jude was a soldier of the cross. In this short epistle, Jude leaves no Christian out. Every Christian must realize that they have been called to battle, to contend earnestly for the faith.
Many Christians get the strange idea that it is the responsibility of the preacher, teachers, and theologians to safeguard and contend for the faith. But nothing could be further from the truth. Our silence is one of the best advantages we have given the enemy. Silence will do more to ensure the enemy’s success and hinder the cause of Christ than all of Satan's other strategies.
It is the responsibility of all believers to contend earnestly for the faith. As soldiers of the cross, we are all commanded by God to proclaim and defend the truth. While sitting in prison awaiting his execution, Paul wrote, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith (2 Tim. 4:7). Our love for Jesus Christ and others compels us to stand for truth. The proclamation of the Gospel and defense of the faith is the duty of every child of God.

The Servant, the Savior, the Saints (Jude 1-2)

Monday Apr 20, 2020
JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES
The Epistle of Jude is perhaps one of today's most neglected and seldom preached on New Testament epistles, yet in reading it, you almost get the sense that Jude just got done writing it to the 21st century Church in America. In a way, few books in the New Testament have more to say to our generation than the Epistle of Jude.
Dr. Miguel Gonzalez begins a verse by verse exposition of this important and truly relevant letter. He will help us navigate through and understand the text while contextualizing its message by providing several important and practical applications.
In today’s study, Dr. Gonzalez points out the Christian’s invulnerable position and invaluable possession. Christians have been sanctified, preserved, and called; as bond-servants of Christ, we are the recipients of the divine provisions of mercy, peace, and love.
