Jude, the half-brother of Jesus, is greatly concerned for the church. Why? Because God’s salvation communicated through the gospel is under attack. In the name of liberty, freedom, and tolerance, certain unbelievers have crept in the church, undermining the authority of Christ and the nature of true grace in salvation.

On this Sunday, Brad teaches us from Jude 1:1-6 to contend for the faith-don't add to it, don’t take away from it, for it has been delivered “once and for all.”

As he is approaching death Peter urges the church to remain steadfast and fruitful, and thereby obtain entrance into Jesus’ eternal kingdom. To rebuke false teaching in the church and assure them in the Christian faith, Peter directs Christians to the sure, certain, and timeless truth of God's Word.

Continuing the understanding that God redeems his people to reflect his holiness, Brad shows us from 1 Peter 2:18-25 that even in unjust suffering, God's holiness is revealed. The Gospel fuels both our obedience and our endurance to remain steady as faithful witnesses to God's excellencies.

Brad preaches from Ephesians 2:11-22 and other select passages to show that the Church is the fruit of God’s mission and the means of God’s Mission here on the earth.

A sermon by Brad Miller that introduces us to the sermon series "What We Believe," and that emphasizes Scripture as God's revealed Word and therefore the basis and final authority on what we believe (theology).
