Kevin Perry • As the people of God wait for the coming of Jesus, we wait with hope. And the hope we have is a hope that is based on the promises of Jesus. As Jesus came before, so He will come again to save those who are His.

Joel McCarty • "Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen."

Jim Menne • In this letter, we are called to contend for the faith. And to this point, Jude has made clear who the false teachers are. Now he pivots to address the "beloved", the true church, and to tell them how they are to go about contending for the most holy faith that was delivered once for all to the saints.

Joel McCarty • Jude gets specific about the false teachers and uses historical examples familiar to his readers to expose them. The end result of trusting in false teachers and their teaching is destruction and judgment. So where do we turn? In whom do we trust? Jude calls us to turn to Jesus and to place our only trust in him.

Joel McCarty • Jude writes this letter to appeal to the church to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. In the midst of a world casting off authority, led only by desire for selfish pleasure, believers are called to be on guard against wrong beliefs that lead to wrong actions. The challenge we are presented with is one of authority. Who is our king? Who is our master?
