Jude wrote to the first century believers to provide them with a full awareness of apostates. They lurked within the assembles of the church, selfishly looked to their own affairs and lingered around in arrogance. They stirred up division and used the grace of God to justify and promote immoral living. Jude wanted to do more than merely expose the …

Without a doubt, this was the most consequential election of my life time. The struggle for the direction our nation affects every nuance of our lives — home, marriage, faith, education, finances, work, medicine, food, freedom. As the election is now behind us, how should we as followers of Christ focus our energy on in this season that God has mer…

The societal pressures of apostasy can become very intense and cause waffling in one’s beliefs and behavior. Yet, God’s people must stand up for their faith and not back down even a little bit. Jude was passionate about exhorting the followers of Christ in the first century about this. His message to them is as relevant to us today as the breaking …

Every one of us have a point of view, a perspective or outlook on life.

Further, we can have a wise outlook on life or a foolish outlook on life. Proverbs is full of divine guidance to be able to look at any aspec…

Even in the first century church, there were those who had infiltrated the assembles who had abandoned and renounced faith in Jesus Christ and salvation by grace through faith. Rather than going on their own way, they troubled the church and created division. The burden on Jude’s heart was that the followers of Jesus Christ would not back down from…

Have you ever asked someone, “Can I share my heart with you?” If you have, you had something that was burdening your heart or a need you were feeling you had to share. Sometimes it is hard to share the heart and be transparent. As Paul was finishing this second letter to the dear saints in Thessalonica, he shared his heart about what He needed from…

Have you felt the increasing pressure on followers of Jesus Christ to compromise and even renounce their faith? Pressure to deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, that the Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice and that holy living is still expected by God.

Jesus came down to earth with one mission, to seek and to save the lost. Amazingly, he called men to follow Him so that he could equip them to participate in His mission. He was not calling them to join an organization, embrace a strategy or to promote a brand. He was calling them to follow Him. Christ is still extending this call to you and me. Wi…

The church at Antioch was used by God to publish the Gospel far and wide into the Gentile world.

The church in Antioch of Syria gained the reputation for sending out missionaries to the uttermost parts of the earth. This was the Apostle Paul’s sending church. Humanly speaking, without this church and their obedience to the great commission of Christ, Paul could not have made the status report to the church at Colossae (1:5-6) that the gospel w…

Where do you turn when life is unraveling? Last week we learned how Jeremiah was ministering to the people Judah, the southern kingdom, in the final 40 years before destruction and the captivity in Babylon (586bc).

In our sin cursed humanity rebel against accountability especially toward God.

Jeremiah was ordained by God to be a prophet to the people of Judah (southern kingdom) while he was in his mother’s womb. His calling would not be easy and in the eyes of man, not successful. He has been called the ‘weeping prophet’ because he often broke down in tears as he observed God’s people reject the Word of God and continue in their own reb…

The second letter of Thessalonians was written weeks or even months after the first letter was written. The main goal of the letter was continue to ground them in their faith.
