In this sermon, we reach the climax of Jude’s warnings as he summons the ancient witness of Enoch to remind the Church that God’s judgment is never random but restores divine order. Through Enoch’s prophecy, Jude reveals that the Lord’s coming brings both mercy to the faithful and conviction to the ungodly. Yet even in judgment, the Church is kept in hope — learning that to contend rightly, we must speak rightly, guarding our hearts and our words until the Lord who comes to judge also comes to keep.

This week in our Jude sermon series, we turn our attention to three examples from Israel's history as patterns of rebellion. 

Text: Jude 11-13

This week in Sunday School, Elder Emeritus, Dr. Walton Padelford steps in to teach on the African Memory of Mark. Listen as we begin this fascinating topic. 

This week in our Jude series, we turn our attention to one of the strangest stories that Jude references - Michael the Archangel fighting the devil over the possession of the body of Moses. Listen as we continue to explore this letter and consider what these stories teach us about "contending for the faith once for all delivered to the saints." 

Connor Johnson, Deacon and Worship Leader at Christ Community Church, continues our study of the more unfamiliar extra-biblical works that Jude references in his letter. In this chapter of Footnotes, we begin looking at the Book of Enoch. Join us!

In this week’s message, Pastor Nick explores three ancient stories—Israel in the wilderness, the rebellion of the angels, and the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah—that Jude uses to awaken the church to holy remembrance. These are not strange myths or distant warnings, but living reminders that the same Jesus who saves is also the Jesus who judges and purifies His people. To contend for the faith, we must remember rightly, remain within God’s order, and resist desires that move beyond His boundaries.

Text: Jude 5-7

In an effort to help us understand some of the more unfamiliar texts that Jude references in his letter, Deacon Connor Johnson is leading us through those works to help supplement Pastor Nick's sermon series on Jude. Listen as we consider The Book of Jubilees.
