FAMILY THEME: TRUTH


THE TRUTH STANDS TALL

Jude


Jude instructs us on contending for the faith, knowing
that God is faithful to uphold us in our walk with Him
and to judge the ungodly.

1.  God's Truth Can Keep Grace From Becoming a
     Licens for Sin

     (Jude 1-4)

     Jude called his readers to defend their faith 
     against the attacks of false teachers.
 
2.  God Will Judge the Ungodly

     (Jude 5-16)

     Jude compared false teachers to the notoriously
     faithless people of the Old Testament.
 
3.  God is Able to Keep Us From Falling

     (Jude 17-25)

     can present us blameless.

FAMILY THEME: CHOSEN PEOPLE


HANDPICKED!

     When we truly taste how good God is, we experience true
     satisfaction; the cheap imitation produced by sin can't
     compare.

     (1 Peter 2:4-10)

     We are all priests and God's chosen people through Christ.
 
3.  Believers Live to Glorify God Before Man

     (1 Peter 2:11-12; 3:8-17)

     Believers should live such godly lives that people glorify
     God because of how we live.
