Feb 14, 2014 - Feb 17, 2014 Matthew 5-7 Of all the sermons that have been preached, none is more famous, more profound, or more convicting than the one Jesus preached on the mountain. It is timeless, ever-relevant, and never dull. With penetrating power, Jesus exploded the brittle veneer of Pharisaic hypocrisy and explained the essence of true righteousness. Weaving threads from the Old Testament through this new garment of truth, Jesus set forth principles that, to this day, refuse to be ignored. Yet how few truly embrace His words! We analyze and interpret them. We outline and compare them. We admire and quote them. Simple Faith: The Sermon on the Mount--A Study of Matthew 5-7 read more

Feb 11, 2014 - Feb 13, 2014 Jude 1:17-25 A battle against heresy has raged on and on for centuries with monotonous regularity and increasing intensity. The church was still in its infancy when the battle began. Jude exposed the false prophets who twisted the teaching of grace and resisted the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jude also exhorted his readers to stay on target themselves, to get their act together, and to stand firm in the faith against all opposition. His message remains the same for us today as we stand for unchanging truth in a world of fiction. New Testament Postcards: A Study of Philemon, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude

Feb 6, 2014 - Feb 10, 2014 Jude 1:5-16 When a man named Jude sat down one day in the first century to record some thoughts about the Christian life, he suddenly changed his mind. Instead of presenting a calm, calculated explanation of our walk with Christ, he unloaded a blistering exposé of apostasy, exhorting his readers to “contend earnestly for the faith” (Jude 1:3). Because God led Jude to change his message, today we have this postcard of helpful guidelines on how to stand firm against the tempting trends of our times.

Feb 4, 2014 - Feb 5, 2014 Jude 1:1-4 Except for its resounding, magnificent doxology, the “postcard” of Jude is a little-known piece of New Testament literature. Those few who attempt to read and understand this book often feel puzzled and confused. Admittedly, its language and word pictures seem curiously foreign to our ears. But the first time it was read by its original audience, it probably struck like a hammer-blow on their hearts. Jude's letter condemned the acts of those who opposed the faith and warned the faithful believers to stay strong in the midst of moral and spiritual chaos.
