* Jude pointed out three sins of old that people in his day were committing.

* The sins of Cain, Balaam, and Korah.

* 1) The sin of Cain - he didn’t bring his best to God.

* He felt like he could do his thing his way.

* 2) The sin of Balaam - he used his gifting for monetary gain.

* He was for hire - he was willing to sell out for profit and promotion.

* 3) The sin of Korah - he wanted authority that wasn’t his.

* Just like Satan lusted after God’s throne, Korah felt like he deserved a position of prominence.

* Jude reminds believers of this so they would remember how these men were punished.

* It should strike holy fear into them.
