Jude 1–7. The pressure is growing. The world feels so uncertain. Life is absolutely unpredictable. And I know a question on many of your minds is what is the future of the church. Jude writes to a church facing pressure. False teachers are calling them to compromise. The risk is that they will fall away, that they will abandon the gospel. But Jude’s message is simple: God is able to keep you, so struggle for the faith.

In these first eight verses, Jude says to us, “Hold the Line.” The earth may feel like it’s shifting from underneath our feet. The mountains may be quaking. The world may look bleak. The cultural pressures may be building against the church. Hold the line because God will keep those who are his through all eternity. Stay steadfast because eternity is at stake. Sermon for Sept 13, 2020.
