This sermon examines the urgent shift in Jude's letter from a planned discussion on common salvation to a necessary warning against infiltrators who have breached the church's perimeter. The central message calls believers to earnestly contend for the faith, defined as the unchanging gospel core of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, rather than engaging in debates over secondary traditions or preferences. The tone is pastoral yet combative, urging the congregation to view themselves as soldiers in a spiritual war who must identify deception while maintaining a winsome and compassionate approach to those who are deceived. The speaker emphasizes that the faith was once delivered to the saints and must be preserved and passed down without alteration, requiring believers to know the genuine truth well enough to spot lies in the current cultural climate. Questions: 1. Why did Jude change his mind about what he originally intended to write to Christians? 2. What does Jude mean when he tells believers to "earnestly contend for the faith"? 3. How can Christians fight for the truth without becoming argumentative or unkind? 4. What does the Bible mean when it speaks of "the faith" rather than simply having faith? 5. How can we tell the difference between essential Christian doctrines and matters of personal preference? 6. Why does Jude warn Christians about enemies who have already entered the church? 7. What does it mean that the faith was "once delivered unto the saints"? Can Christianity change with the times? 8. Is defending the Christian faith the responsibility of pastors and theologians, or does every believer have a part

Throughout the Old Testament we are introduced to a figure called - The Angel of Yahweh. Who is this? And what are we meant to learn from mysterious figure?

In Part 12 of the Revelation Unraveled series, Pastor Byron Chesney begins Revelation chapter 4 with "A Throne in Heaven." As John is given a glimpse into heaven, the first great thing he sees is not angels, mansions, or departed loved ones, but the throne of Almighty God. This message emphasizes the sufficiency of Scripture, the sovereignty and faithfulness of God, and the comforting truth that no matter how chaotic this world may appear, there is still a throne in heaven, and God is still sitting upon it.

Luke, the faithful and accurate reporter tells Theophilus of Mary's meeting with the angel Gabriel who hails her, "Thou highly favored of the 'most high,' blessed among women." She finds this unsettling for she is a teenager from humble circumstances and limited exposure to spiritual experiences of this nature. This encounter has been often misinterpreted through the history of the church.

Continued teaching on the doctrine of angels, specifically the dynamics of spiritual warfare using selected Scriptures and relevant extra-biblical sources.

And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. (Judges 6:22-24)
