In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus explains who is disciples are in him and what they will be like because of his work. Christ's disciples are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The question for true Christians is not necessarily what is the truth of Jesus, but what are we going to do with the truth of Jesus?

Our hearts are darker than any black night and human attempts to change our hearts have been proven and will continue to be proven futile. The grace of God comes through gospel proclamation from God's Word. When the Holy Spirit and the word of God come together, the light of the gospel message will penetrate our dark hearts. In 1 John, the apostle declares the truth about Jesus, his Word, our sinful hearts, and the faithful work of the Spirit.

On this Sunday, Jerrod preaches the final sermon from our series entitled Steady Sojourners from the final section of Jude, a text that encourages the church to discern ways to think, live, and show their Christian faith on the foundation of the promises of God.

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.”
