excited to hear from tonight amen open the hearing thank you brother knapp praise the lord so good to be in god's house isn't it amen and it's easy to think about the lord when you're in the lord's house and with the children of the lord amen praise god uh we're going to um go right to the bible study and uh we're going to read a whole book so you don't really have to stand through it all but you may be seated amen amen amen good good spirit of worship freedom of worship and flow of the spirit here and we're going to continue on a bible study we started last wednesday about the title is what concerned jude so we spoke about it last wednesday and then in the adult class on sunday morning and in those two sessions we only moved along seven verses but i i better move along tonight because we don't want to make this an annual thing but but it's a good book it's a small book but it's a good book but we're turning to the book of jude we'll start at verse 1 and as you're finding it jude was the half-brother of jesus and actually his his mother mary and father joseph would have named him english judah or yehuda and he had an older brother named yeshua do you know who that was amen but what he was concerned about was that he believed that the the truths and the principles and the doctrines of this great salvation new testament salvation should be repeated because in an age of apostasy it is very very easy for some people if they don't keep it right in the forefront of their mind uh to start to doubt some things and so he believed in repeating it and saying it over and over and over again and uh that's what he was going to write about but then he uh there there was a out outbreak of apostasy and some bad men coming into the church trying to hijack the church and turn it into something else and pull the people away and uh and do some bad things so he he's he uh rose up in the holy ghost with apostolic authority and he confronted it and he wrote this book this it's it's actually it was a letter he wrote now if it happened in the early church in the first century church it will happen today and the way he dealt with it and the way he he gave the characteristics and pointed out uh what these people looked like what they acted like and their behavior then we can know when we see that coming and so and know how to handle it the whole the new testament has a lot a lot of good teaching in it but uh let's go to verse one jude a servant of jesus christ and brother of james to those who have been called who are loved in god the father and kept for jesus christ kept for jesus christ verse two mercy peace love be yours in abundance dear friends although i was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share i felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to god's holy people for certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you they are ungodly people who pervert the grace of our god into a license for immorality and deny jesus christ our only savior and lord though you already know this i want to remind you and there he goes again you know it but but you need to hear it again amen let me stop right there judah he was a jew and no doubt a part of his life was when moses gave the law and when he when he retold it in the book of deuteronomy and he went over it again and uh there's something he said right there he says this what i'm telling you what i'm teaching you these commandments he said they're going to bless you you're going to prosper and you'll do well he says but you there's one thing you have to do you've got to do it you've got to teach it to your children and he said when you're sitting in your house you've got to talk about it and when you're walking down the pathway you've got to talk about it you have to speak it when your eyes open in the morning and you rise up you've got to speak the words of the lord when you lay down at night he said it needs to be on your hand it needs to be frontless between your eyes you need to take the words of this law and nail it on the the the the door frame the door post of your house and and out there at the street put it on the gate it needs to always be before you always be before you so you'll think about it and the reason why is there's so much interference and especially now on these days there are strong winds of a false doctrine of apostasy of the spirit of antichrist that's blowing hard against the church and against the people of god and if we do not have something that's anchored to the rock of ages if we don't have the words of this book and of the law and of the of the teachings of jesus christ and the apostles of the lord and in our heart fresh in our minds so we don't have to think about a long time and it's whenever that comes up against that immediately you'll know how to resist it and stand up during this time and so jude was dealing with something because apostasy was coming in the church is perverting the faith of people and they they were starting to drop off and this is happening today whole whole movements that it's just surprising you thought wow these people used to shout and be holy and they used to speak in tongues and and live for god and and the bible was the center of their life and and and now man they you go first of all if they're there at all their churches look like nightclubs and act that way it's like what has happened it's a spirit of this age so we need to learn from what brother jude is saying let's go verse 5. though you already knew this i want to remind you that the lord at one time delivered his people out of egypt but later destroyed those who did not believe and that was not mental assent that was some actions right you can tell they didn't believe by their actions six and the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling these he has kept in darkness bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great day you think it's bad now wait till the angel takes the lid off tartarus and those foul things come out and start flying around the earth we need to well if we're here we're going to sure need the holy ghost verse 7 in a similar way sodom and gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion they serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire and so now part three we're going to start at verse 8 and we're going to get into that verse 8 in the very same way the same way same way as what in the same way that the angels got out of their positions of authority and they left their the the order that god set them in in the same way that sodom and gomorrah got out of their order that god set for for humans and and man and women they got out of order in this very same way these people get out of the place god put them and out of their order and started dealing with things that were out or beyond beyond the area where they they should go they violated some things on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies which is supposed to be the temple of the holy ghost amen they polluted their bodies they reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings so these ungodly men of verse 4 they crept in the church and jude's time and he said they were filthy dreamers they were conniving the hatching up inventing ways to defile their body they had to really work out how can i defile what is supposed to be the temple of the lord what can i do some new thing innovative and in their imaginations and during the whole time they find justification for their ungodly actions and lifestyle and these after the fashion of self-exalting lucifer they worship themselves they worship the creature more than the creator and in their thinking they placed themselves above all powers and authorities and they look down on any and every authority and they reject every form of divine order every tenet of morality and obligations associated with keeping god's commandments they reject all of that just as lucifer if you get down to it what's that all about he ultimately hates god and rebels against god and that's what these people are doing ultimately when they scoff at you and scorn you when they scorn righteous people what they're doing is god in your face in your face i'm resisting you i'm rebelling against you and if you're anything aligned with god or godliness then you're going to get the same treatment amen that's in the world today and because of their strong aversion to holiness and to righteousness they defy and scorn everyone in everything that represents virtue and uprightness and their mouths jew talks a lot about their mouths their mouths percently persistently spew these toxic acid hurtful words they just keep pouring out like water over niagara falls just heaping abuse on on god's people and and and on celestial beings now verse 9 is coming up and jude puts their irreverence that he laid out and explained in verse 8 and he puts it in perspective but even the archangel michael now they don't have any problem dressing down being critical hateful sarcastic ridiculing holy angels and i tell you if there's an angel comes up and you know he's there we need to watch our step we need we need to show some reverence but what if one of these just not even michael pick any of them if one of these men of verse 4 should stand against let's say an archangel or a seraph or a cherub just pick any angel and stand one of these scoffers from verse 4. what if so here we have an archangel michael who has a power he has authority he has dominance he has control over the entire cosmos he has control and power and authority over the entire kingdom of darkness and certainly over mankind sister walker was beautiful what she said sunday about the beautiful painted sunset and sunrise and she she heard the lord say my angels do that and that's right the angels control the winds the angels control the climate that's angels do that and the thing is they are so they it's all about jesus it's not about let's say if isaiah oh look at here you know what i'm going to do i'm going to put up put a strong wind and a high pressure across the entire north american they don't do that they're just they're in their place and they don't even want to be noticed because they don't want to be worshiped because they saw what happened long ago they never forgot that with angels exalting themselves so they just don't do that but and another thing too put in perspective one angel and one night smote 185 000 of a serious fiercest fighting men and the next morning they were all dead corpse one angel one angel did that they're powerful so with that type of power in mind and the scoffing sarcastic scornful mouths of the people that jude mentioned in verse four and they're right here today in this world we're living in verse nine but even the archangel michael when he was disputing with the devil about the body of moses did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said the lord rebuke you so they're they uh these bible writers uh sometimes they'll tell us about things that happen in the past and we won't have a clue like i don't know the details of this story jude of of michael uh contending with the body of moses and like look paul will get up saying it's like janies and jamborees you know janies and jamborees no i don't i can't find jenny's and jammers in my bible but he knows about it but you get the point but the point is not about the dispute of of michael and the devil at moses burial and death it wasn't about that but what jude wants you to see is the attitude and the position of michael in the presence of another angel so there was a dispute at moses grave and the devil had to be silenced michael had to put him in place and had to rebuke him so the point jude is making is that when one spiritual superpower must deal with discipline subdue rebuke another spiritual superpower even if the latter is fallen and backslidden still the respect for the position of authority is upheld through the process and i thought of king david at saul's death saul was backslidden he was even a murderer he tried to do david in and he was cut off by god but david in respect called him the lord's anointed and he served as an example for israel this is how we are going to remember saul he's the lord's anointed there's gonna be respect and uh don't put your hand on him don't put your tongue on him and uh that's the way we do it so there's a lesson here for me is how when i've been hurt by a fallen leader i've been disappointed and so forth and i would like just to go up and give them a piece of my mind and so how do we treat fallen leaders it's a good lesson but these people these people they slander whatever verse 10 they do not understand and the very things they do understand by instinct as irrational animals do will destroy them the angel mike and the angel michaels might as was and chastising satan leaned upon the authority of god rather than his own power but these ungodly men mentioned by jude they're quick to irreverently lash out at sacred things and holy people leaven woe to them they have taken the way of cain they have rushed into profit into for profit into balaam's ear they have been destroyed in core's rebellion so jude is mentioning three examples of rebellion cain these wanted to worship in their own way rather and offer what god accept balaam they pursued personal gain and ultimately caused god's people to sin korah they joined in rebellion against spiritual leadership and authority verse 12 these people are blemishes at your love feasts eating with you without the slightest qualms shepherds who feed only on themselves they're clouds without rain blown blown along by the wind autumn trees without fruit and uprooted twice dead there are wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shame wandering stars for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever so he used these powerful word pictures to describe these godless men blotches that mar the true unity and love of the church body and they're clouds impressive but no water they're useless unstable blown around by the wind dead and rootless trees without fruit and like a storm on the ocean wave constantly foaming at the mouth and they're like a roaming comet just doomed to travel a hopeless endless journey into dark space verse 14 enoch the seventh from adam prophesied about them see the lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness and of all the defiant works ungodly sinners have spoken against him so jude is referring a jewish book the book of enoch you can get a copy of it at amazon get the jewish copy if you're going to it's an old old book but he's just simply saying the lord is coming and he's going to pour judgment on the ungodly 16 these people are grumblers and fault finders they follow their own evil desires they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage verse 17 so so now jude is calling on us to to persevere so the the subject's changing just a little 17 but dear friends remember what the apostles of our lord jesus foresold they said to you in the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their ungodly desires here he reminds us that the apostles of the lord already warned us about scoffers verse 19 these are people who divide you who follow mere natural instincts who do not have the spirit and there's a warning about these self-promoted teachers they're they'll they want to divide they want to make trouble and they're worldly and he says they don't even have the holy ghost and i thought of proverbs 6 i'd like to go to proverbs 6 16 and read this familiar passage of scripture these six things that the lord hate these are people that come in to hurt the body seven are an abomination a proud look a lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood a heart that divides a wicked imaginations feet that be swift in running to mischief a false witness that speaketh lies he that soweth discord among brethren and this is what jude was facing in the churches way back when jude 1 and 20 back to jude verse 20 but you dear friends building up yourselves in your most holy faith praying in the holy ghost so saints if you don't want to fall in that same pit that these wicked have then build up your soul on apostolic teaching and that and the very teach then that he's telling us we need to contend to preserve and live in a holy life and pray in the holy ghost i try to speak in holy ghosts uh in in tongues praying the holy ghost speaking in tongues every day i try to do that and uh it's good to pray in the holy ghost and pray the mind of god and intercede with in the spirit 21 keep yourselves keep yourselves remember way back in the top of the of the book where he said we're kept in jesus christ we're captain jesus christ right here he says keep yourselves in the love of god as you wait for the mercy of the lord jesus christ to bring you to eternal life so so uh in the ending he's admonishing the saints to keep themselves in the love of god and the mercy of jesus christ i'm moving along to the end but each one of these would be a good good bible study topic wouldn't they verse 22 be merciful to those who doubt so there's you know he's been talking about men who come into the church that you really could not help them no one could help them there's some people it's very sad because they're an eternal soul but some people you just simply cannot help and that's sad but but what judah's saying is oh that there would be a spiritual sensitivity and a discernment and seek the lord god show me show me about this person god how how do i respond to this person how do i react god what are the is there anything in there that that i need to to reach out and help them get through this whatever it is some people their mind is just it's gone sadly it's depraved and uh seared with hot iron no one could help it help them but what he's saying now if somebody's weak in the faith patient encouragement extend mercy and love and give them time and and and just and ask god to lead you and the main thing always always always always dealing with problems is number one love love love and uh 23 verse 23 save others by snatching them from the fire whoa snatch them if someone's about to go over the cliff head long into gahanna that's a big big fire pit that was in um jerusalem where they burned it burned continuously gehenna if they're about ready to trip and fall in there respond aggressively and immediately in the spirit don't put it on your your list and say i'll get to it when i have time i mean save them amen and do whatever it takes and sometimes it might be unorthodox whatever but if we walk in the spirit we're full of the holy ghost the holy ghost will direct us even in a microsecond mercy uh snatching fire others show mercy mixed with fear mercy mixed with fear boy that's a combination that's a powerful mixture and some for some people it's only prescription that'll save them and bring them out of their spiritual sickness coma whatever and then hating even clothing stained by corrupted flesh you know what i thought about that's that's quite a subject there hate the garments that someone was wearing when they were involved in sin physical sin hate hate the garment but i was in a scriptural to hate some things and it's scriptural to hate the destructive outcomes and damage and destruction that it does to people and it does to families and churches from a life of sin i thought about in the old testament the levite levitical priests he was called to the house and there were a lot of laws on dealing with leprosy and i thought about he has this blanket he has this coat which is hard to come by and invaluable and needed and can't do without it but i'm afraid i've got this contagion in this garment or in this blanket and i really need it i really do and so the priest comes and he examines it and it takes time sometimes there's one thing he said he said if the leprosy is really deep in the warp and the wolf the warp and the wolf and the warp is the fabric that goes one way and the woof is the fabric that goes the other way and if it's in that little microscopic cavity between the the threads going this way and three if it's there he says i'm sorry we can't help you can cut it out and burn it always burn it but uh there's sometimes we need to deal with uh things like that leprosy which is type of deep sin and some people come into the church the lifestyle that they need a new wardrobe they need a new wardrobe coming in when they get saved that stuff out there that you wore out there and carried on with that out there burn it burn it don't even give it away burn it the hate the garment that is polluted and stained and has contagious infections in it and that's got a spiritual application too so finally church as i'm winding down to part three stay focused in these times of perilous times there's apostasy the strong winds of tribulation always wondered pastor what's the tribulation going to feel like what's that going to feel like what's going to look like and i'm getting an idea aren't we we're getting an idea tribulation and the strong winds and influence of the antichrist so we've got to contend for the faith that's going to take us through we don't need to be discouraged we can look up we can be positive we stay on guard the lord's going to help us we're the church he's helping us he's going to take us through this but but we do have to act we have to be diligent and if the lord if you're in a position if you're in a position to where the lord calls on you to where you have to respond to the situation that jude was faced with and that we're faced with that you'll do it with meekness and fear and reverence and uh and in submission to spiritual authority submission to spiritual authority because any authority you might have would come from your place of submission to spiritual authority and pray that the holy ghost will help us all to discern with men that and women that we can't help and uh lord you're gonna have to take care of it and lord protect our church and and the lord knows how to do what he needs to do and give us discernment because there's some misguided souls who are able to be redeemed and so we we can't just classify them as is write them off go away no and pray that god will help use us to reach sincere souls all the time hating sin and all the time on guard against apostasy and the effects not over he was talking about the church he was talking about a big church over over a continent we have our church and we have our homes that's what we must do in our home and guess what we have a smaller uh home and that's the home that we live in our individual 24 and 25 to him that is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault with great joy to the only god our savior be glory majesty power and authority through jesus christ our lord before all ages now and forevermore amen there's only one god would you stand he's the savior he alone is wise and we know him to be jesus christ our lord and i'm so glad that jude said he's able to save us he's able to present us faultless but the presence of his glory with great exceeding great joy i'm so glad he can do that i'm looking up to him tonight then he's going to help us in jesus name in jesus name lord we want to thank you oh god for who you are lord and we know that sometimes when we have to face negative situations in the church lord that even you have given us direction you've given us wisdom we know the angels will help us we know that this holy ghost will help us we know we have the word of god we have wise men and women of god we have spiritual fathers and spiritual mothers lord and help us oh god help us oh god to be a soul-saving station help our church lord to be strong and help our church lord to be a lighthouse in this area lord that that we can minister to every kind of people every kind of problem that they bring into the church lord oh god hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah god bless your people tonight bless your church before me are your precious jewels lord thank you for them god bless you and i will turn over the mic to pastor and i guess still stay standing i guess there's an old chorus that i kept thinking of while brother hearing was teaching this wonderful bible study from the book of jude and we used to sing it i i would assume you used to sing it here i don't know if i remember singing it since i've been here but uh i just kept thinking of it because i i i just want to be in that safe place before the lord how many of you want to be in that safe place before him and yet be sensitive both to righteousness and holiness and sensitive to the spirit of evil and antichrist we need to be sensitive in both ways and it just it's a prayer oh lord prepare me to be a sanctuary [Applause]
