This is truth and love video ministry, and I'm so glad that you are You stop as you scroll by on Facebook, and you join me

I really appreciate your support really really appreciate your love and your prayer for this ministry

I'd love to be able to pray for you if you would like prayer all you have to do is type me that's one of the the goals and the reasons for starting this ministry is to is

To be a part of each other's lives and to to let you know that somebody is is here

That will pray for you if you would like prayer Truth and love it's still early and I always wait too long to get going in the mornings

Truth and love comes from Ephesians chapter 4 verse 15 it says but speaking the truth in love

We are to grow up in all aspects into him who is the head even Christ?

And I hope that message will sink in for all of us that That there there is a truth out there there's there's

No, great areas with God. He has intentions. He has purposes. He has a reality and There's no great areas with God And and he has given us his word

He teaches us and there there is truth and in his word I Hear this.

I hear this language used today. I Spoke my truth. We spoke our truths to each other so In other words, we we talked about our our feelings

What what we believe in what what is good for me and what is good for the other person in our relationships?

You know, I hear that language we spoke our truths And what's good for you might not be good for me

But in reality there there is truth. There is a truth and it's the

Lord Jesus Christ. It's his word it's God and and I know that we even when it comes to interpreting an

Interpretation of God's Word there there are differences and we have differences of opinions when it comes to interpretation

But in that disagreement, I think we can we can do it in love and we can work towards Discovering what

God's truth God's truth is It doesn't really matter what what our truths are ultimately

Ultimately, we're gonna find that out. It's not gonna matter What what I believe or what?

I think my truth is it matters what God's truth is because he has the final say he has the final judgment.

So So we can disagree we can disagree in love But we want to speak that truth

God's truth in love to one another so that we can grow up in all aspect all aspects

We don't want to Because of for the sake of it being hard and difficult to talk about or understand

We don't want to shove it to the side put it on the shelf. Things are hard studying God's Word can be difficult sometimes

It can be difficult to to communicate with somebody that we disagree with but it is worth it because it's

God's Word It's God's truth. So I Hope you will join me in that endeavor to discover

God's God's Word and God's truth and so that we can grow up in all aspects into him

Who was the head even Christ? He is our head and we love him and we praise him on my

Videos the things that I do The floor is always yours. I love to be able to communicate with you and talk with you.

I know what's going on Let me know what church you go to Let us know what what's going on at your church if you have any events what time your services are

If you have any questions about the Bible about a particular passage of Scripture you would like to discuss

I'd love to be able to do that with you Anything that's going on in the world that we can look at from a Christian perspective

Love to be able to do that do that with you as well So the floor is open that we can discuss things and talk

I Do want to say this this morning as as we're gonna have a time of prayer at the end

And if I can pray for you, just let me know two weekends in a row now within within my circle of People that I know

We have had we have lost two people one last weekend and and one this weekend

And it it's it's been a very sad Week if you put these two weekends in a parentheses

It's been a very very sad week week and a very difficult week and I know for the families

That's been and it is continuing to be Very sad and very difficult

These these individuals that we that we care about that we lost

We're very young and it's it's very difficult and this is a very difficult situation and My appeal this morning as we reflect on These things happening is to ask the question

Why do we wait and I'm lumping myself. I'm lumping myself into Into this category as I do with all all this teaching because I need

God's Word. I need God's truth I needed to transform me, but I asked myself this question and I asked you this question

Why do we wait I? Would I think normally the the normal experience for us as human beings here on this earth is is

We we live this day and we live this moment this night. We go into the weekend. We we work for the weekend

We can't wait until Friday Friday comes and we we've got plans and we do the things that we want to do and we live as if we are guaranteed tomorrow

Do we not? We live as if Life is guaranteed for us tomorrow or or the people that we know they will they will be here tomorrow

So we live it up and we do the things that we want to do that Don't always have eternal value

It's more for us and our pleasure and our enjoyment Am I right on that?

Do you think that that's pretty common for us and how we live that we don't live with an eternal perspective?

We we barely even live within a long -term perspective

We live more for a weekend perspective. We live for ourselves with no regard to We may not be here and our friends and our family may not be here tomorrow

And so I asked myself and I asked us and I and I appeal I make this appeal to us this morning

Why why do we wait? Why do we wait? Why do we wait to live for the

Lord? Why do we wait to make those decisions that that affect our relationship with God?

why do we wait to communicate and and Have those conversations those the spiritual those emotional

Conversations with our loved ones and with our friends. Why do we put it off? Why do we wait? Why do we why do we live without an eternal perspective?

And just live with a weekend perspective or life is just about us. Why do we wait until?

Tragedy strikes that we begin to think about these things I'll pray for us pray for me and I'll pray for you and That we would we would that God would change our hearts

That it wouldn't take Tragedy for us to think on eternal things that that it wouldn't take tragedy for us to think on Spiritual things that we all this has happened or I've got this diagnosis

I need to get things right with the Lord. Let it not be so for us

That we have to wait on those things that happen before we begin to have an

Eternal perspective and our gaze and our focus turns to the Lord May our gaze and our focus turn to the

Lord Jesus Christ every day that we may live for him every day With our with our thoughts with our attitudes with our relationships

And and see him as as precious every day Submit to him every day

We want to pray for those families who have lost those loved ones this morning and continue to pray for them

In their time of grieving in their time of loss Because it's difficult.

It's difficult And we want to continue to pray for them Again thank you for watching and thank you for your support.

If you would if you would like share comment I'd love to know that you're watching If you have any questions

Love to talk about those questions I don't have all the answers But I'd love to talk about those questions and we can we can search and dig in together on those questions

This morning Before we pray and before we lift up those families before we lift up each other

We're going to continue in the in the book of Jude Last Tuesday, we looked at verses 1 through 4 in Jude.

So if you have your Bible if you want to follow along We're gonna look at Jude Verses 5 through 11 and speaking of open up God's Word.

I'd like to make this announcement as well before we get started I I have

Sought out interest on Facebook to see if there's an interest out there for folks to gather publicly to read

God's Word And I think there's an interest out there I started a Facebook group and I think you if you're not already a member of it.

I think you that you can find it it's reading God's Word publicly else CNC which means

Lincoln County, North Carolina. We plan to meet at the courthouse August 16th at 2 p .m

I would love to have you there. You're you're welcome to come you are invited invite your family and your friends

Share the invite if you see it come across Facebook We'd love to have you join us.

We still need a several more readers to volunteer We're gonna read the Gospel of John and I need 21 volunteers to read a chapter a piece and I'd also like for some folks to confirm if they will that they will film or Do a live

Facebook live and film so we can get the public reading of God's Word out there

I think I think reading God's Word Is is helpful when it comes to unity

Among Christians. I think it is I think it is a good thing because of what

God says in his word about his word He says his word is powerful His word holds together the the universe

His word will not return to him void. His word is a lamp into our feet of light into our path

It says faith comes by hearing and hearing from the Word of God So there's so many reasons

Even from Scripture that we should read God's Word publicly and get

God's Word out there Just just to read it as simple as that Just just reading

God's Word and let the Holy Spirit do his work in our lives

So if you will join me in that Let me know if you're coming by Acknowledging that on the the event that was created on Facebook Let's get it.

Let's get excited. Let's pray about that that we're together Getting God's Word out there.

So let's look at Jude Verses 5 to 11 and let me read it real quick and then we'll just go through the verses together

And it says now I desire to remind you though You know all things once for all that the

Lord after saving a people out of the land of Egypt Subsequently destroyed those who did not believe and angels

Who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper abode He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great of the great day

Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh are

Exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire

Yet in the same manner these men also by dreaming defile the flesh and reject authority and revile angelic majesties but Michael the archangel when he disputed with the devil and Argued about the body of Moses did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment

But said the Lord rebuke you But these men revile the things which they do not understand and the things which they know by instinct like Unreasoning animals by these things they are destroyed woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam and perished in the rebellion of Korah Now just a reminder verse 5 of course in the context is is preceded by verse check verse 4 which we learned that you know

Judas is His main topic his main idea his his focus here because he wanted to write to them

About their common salvation as an encouragement as a teaching to go deeper whatever his intention was

He wanted to write to them about their common salvation and and how glorious it was but but there was something that they come in whether it was a

Word from a you know another person inspiration of the Lord all these things were coming together that that changed his

His mind in writing this letter Because he said that there are people

Certain persons have crept in it's already happened. They have crept in unnoticed and it's

What we call in theological terms apostates. Hey mom dad Thank y 'all for watching

We call them apostates false teachers and The we call the false teaching apostasy.

It's just big words that we use to describe The situation and so Judas is discussing apostasy and apostates false teachers folks certain persons that have already crept in unnoticed and so that is the context leading into to verse 5 and he says in verse 5 that he

Desires to remind us. This is similar to what Peter does Peter sees the need to to remind and and the

The fact that it's okay to continue to remind them of these truths

Because that's that's a part of being a a good leader is Is knowing knowing who we are as human beings that we forget that we need reminding that we need another dose

We need it every day to remind ourselves to preach the gospel to ourselves. We need a reminder all the time a

Refresher to to turn our gaze back toward the Lord Jesus Christ To keep our mind focused on who he is and and who we are and what we should be doing it's just part of being a good leader and to To remind folks to that.

It's okay. It's okay in your teaching when you're sharing and preaching to To give reminders to say the same thing sometimes

So that's what he's doing here. He was reminding them of though you

Though you know all things once for all and and that we remember that similar language he used

Earlier in verse 3. He wants them to contend Earnestly for the faith and and what was that contend earnestly remember the

Greek word you can see the word agonize It's not a it's not a passive a passive word where we say

All the the preacher wants us to watch out for that that certain television evangelist televangelist and so we just we write his name down and and we kind of you know, remember to Turn the channel not listen to him it is not in any way a

Passive verb a command to be passive Passive action. No the you can see the word agonize in that word.

That's translated contend It is a striving for it is it is a defense is a very aggressive

Approach to this to protecting and defending the gospel in such in such a way that he

He proclaims Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to us because he knows the difficulties that come with contending for the faith

Agonizing for the faith defending the faith in such a way in no means. Is it passive?

but this faith that we are supposed to contend earnestly for It was once for all delivered to the

Saints and now he has a desire to remind them Though, you know all things once for all so this this gospel this this teaching

They know it. They know this information, but they need also need this reminder this refresher continually

That the Lord I just wanted to share this for a moment If you look in verse 5 where it says that the

Lord Have you seen going through Facebook here recently

Some people are sharing posts where they're talking about these certain versions of the

Bible Take out take out verses take out words and That we shouldn't be taking out verses and words and changing

God's Word and And it's often quoted the verses that says we shall not take add to or take away from God's Word Be careful with those posts and and what you're letting influence you if you look in the foot

If you have a Bible that has footnotes What's interesting in in verse 5 here when it says that the

Lord now I desire to remind you though You know all things once for all that the

Lord so the Lord has done something here And then in the footnotes if you happen to look in your footnotes, it will say some early manuscripts say

Jesus now the attack on on these Newer translations is that they they take away?

Verses they take away words or they'll take out the name Jesus and just just put in he there.

Well here the earlier manuscripts say

Jesus and the later manuscripts don't

So and I know that's confusing and we can we can do a whole video on just that topic but I Say that to say or I say this to say

The the original language is our standard and the closer that we can get to the the

Apostles and The earlier manuscripts that were close we can get to Jesus and the Apostles and and the church early church fathers

The better off we are The this certain one version is is not the be -all end -all and not our ultimate standard

It's it's the original language and if the earlier manuscripts

Have Jesus here and the later manuscripts don't It's the later manuscripts

That have changed that have added to or or taken away from so It works both ways.

The ultimate goal is to give back to to the original and That's what we want to do.

But it's it's interesting that if these early manuscripts Are telling us what what

Jude actually said? He is he is speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is speaking of His his his master whom he says he's a bondservant of Jude a bondservant of Jesus Christ That Jesus What did

Jesus do here? After saving a people out of the land of Egypt.

So what he's what he's doing here And let me say this real quick Jude's method of writing here.

He's going to give us three sets of three So he's wanting us to contend earnestly for the faith he's warned us about these certain persons who have crept in these apostates and now he's going to give us three sets of three of warnings when it comes to these apostates and The and how they apostatized and the judgment that come along with them

So let's look at these three sets of threes these warnings from Jude the

Lord Jesus after saving a people out of the land of Egypt Subsequently destroyed those who did not believe so you had you had an apostate

Israel God did so much for them. He sent Moses.

He brought them out of the land of Egypt They saw signs and miracles, you know

Moses Held up the staff which Jesus refers to and people had to gaze upon it and and they were they were healed

They walked on dry land through a Red Sea and then the Red Sea Collapsed and killed the enemies drowned the enemies that were they were in pursuit of them

You know, he took care of them in the wilderness despite the fact that they were in the wilderness because of themselves and Then when they got an approach the promised land

Many of them that were that began this journey Did not enter

Why? He says he destroyed those who did not believe they were in the nation of Israel But they were they become apostate

Israel. They left the faith. Why because they did not believe and in fact, they were millions millions

Who did not enter? the promised land

So apostasy against God turning rejecting God is serious business

That he would he would take them and rescue them but yet leaving the faith

Rejecting him unbelief Requires this this punishment. Not only did they not they were not allowed to enter the promised land

He destroyed them So we have apostate Israel that's this is the first set of three number one number two and Angels and angels who did not keep their own dominion, but abandoned their proper abode

So we get that from Genesis Genesis chapter 6 and these angels Who who were supposed to you know, do the will of the

Lord do the will of the Father? they abandoned their own domain and He is kept in eternal bonds under darkness

For the judgment of that great day. So you have apostate Israel and you have apostate angels who reject

God the Father and do their own thing and What's the what's the judgment here?

He they are in eternal bonds Under darkness

For the judgment of that great day. There's no escape from rejection of God the

Father so you have apostate Israel apostate angels and then you apostate everybody else

Gentiles verse 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah in the cities around them

Since they in the same way as These so what does he mean right there since they in the same way as these we have to go back to the context

He is referring to these certain persons who have crept in unnoticed they are doing these same things as apostate

Israel as apostate angels as apostate cities They're doing the same things and what and what were these cities doing?

What were they all doing well, we know that they they rejected God's authority rejected

They did not submit to him. They wanted to go about their own way of their own way of doing things and then they also

If if you remember Sodom and Gomorrah and we continue to read the verse since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality

Fornications and went after strange flesh and without Fleshing all that out

They went they went after Strange flesh That means sexually they went after That's that which they were not designed for we were designed to be with Someone else of God's design and I know

I'm being super vague here But but it goes against God's design

If you're gonna get strange flesh you go against God's design and you will go against nature

Genesis God's design and Romans speaks of God's design nature

Go back to Genesis and you go to Romans chapter 1 we

Go against God's design and we go against nature when we go against strange when we go after strange flesh

And that's what these these folks are doing They're they're after sexual gross sexual immorality and going after strange flesh going after that which

God did not design us to be with and are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of Eternal fire and this

This should really sober us up when we hear those that language when we hear this sentence in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire

There's a lot in Scripture That that's figurative language Where God is using an analogy

But I don't think that eternal fire is is figurative or or an analogy here

I Think because Jude is referencing things that are

Historical that are factual that are little literal That I think he to follow along in the context.

He is speaking of a literal eternal fire and That should bring a soberness to us a shock to reality that Rejection of God you know a claiming a

Claiming God with our lips, but then rejecting him with our our behavior and our teaching leads to Destruction leads to bonds and awaiting for the great day of judgment and leads to the punishment in eternal fire

That should bring a soberness to us. So that's that's the first set of three apostate

Israel apostate angels and apostate everyone else Gentiles the cities and then we have the next set number two of three

Starting in verse eight yet in the manner of these men who were these men certain persons who have crept in unnoticed that uh

That are the apostates that he's mourning that are of Jude's time that he's warning the people about yet in the same manner these men also by dreaming and What does he mean by dreaming?

Here's? Some people say that you know dreaming we can see him while we're dreaming

I'm not so certain that he is necessarily talking about our natural Uh Dreaming at night here in this verse what

I think he's talking about here is he's these men who are apostates who have who have fallen from the faith rejected

God They are in a different in their thinking they are in a different reality

They are they are delusional in their thinking they think this they think That reality is

It is a certain way That it's not they're trying to mold reality in their own mind the way they think it should be so they're delusional

They're in a they're in a different reality Instead of God's reality.

So by their dreaming they're they're being outside of reality they defile the flesh and that goes back to You know the fornication that we talked about the the going after strange flesh that we talked about So they defile the flesh this is the fruit of these these apostates these that that have crept in unnoticed

That that may speak the name of Jesus that you know may be flamboyant that energetic they they may draw a crowd and Have a lot of followers and we could say all the

Lord is is blessing that pastor bliss blessing that church They're doing so good. We can see the fruit but That's not the fruit that we should be looking for we should be looking for these things they they defile the flesh

They reject authority that's number two defile the flesh reject authority and they revile angelic majesties

That's a little bit deeper than than just what The words try to tell us their revile angelic

Majesties, so I don't think it's necessarily talking about Angels themselves.

They're rejecting angels. I don't think that's what it's talking about. So the word revile means blasphemy

So that's that's what it means there. It's the word blasphemy Angelic majesties, so The The word that's used right there for angelic majesties is do

X a dachshund and it has multiple definitions and I think

Because of the context and the example that's given after that they kind of the interpreters combined and and they think that Jude was referring to a

Combination of all the definitions of doxa and I don't even know that I'm pronouncing that right because I'm not a

Greek scholar But you have Three basic three different definitions opinion

Glory and And angels and that's just very simplistic opinion glory and angels and So to combine the three you have angelic majesties all right, so we get we get the word orthodox from from doxa and Orthodox is the agreed -upon

Truth of you know of a certain belief system a certain religion that if we're being orthodox

We're we're staying within the standards Approved standards of that belief

So Angelic majesties It does have to do with with the heavenlies and with with those who dwell in the heavenlies

Which will be the angels and it has to do with their their opinions or their?

accepted truths that are that are true of God their beliefs that they follow and So these people blaspheme that the ways of the those who dwell in the heavenlies by by not following their example

And we'll see that here starting in verse 9. They they blaspheme and reject how things are done in the heavenlies the things that live in the heavenlies honor

God submit to God and do things his way and They don't they don't

They don't find themselves Dreaming or or in this other reality where they they make up reality in their own mind the way things should be no it's the way the

Lord wants it to be reality is reality to them and and so These these folks who have crept in unnoticed

They blaspheme that that order of things in the heavenlies. And so how do things work in the heavenlies?

Verse 9, but Michael the archangel when he disputed with the devil and Argued about the body of Moses and did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment

So Michael the head angel the head angel in the heavenlies

He did not dare Pronounce against him the devil a railing judgment.

He didn't come after the devil But said the

Lord rebuke you So in the heavenlies the way things work in the heavenlies even the head angel

Does not come after the devil does not pronounce to him a judgment does not come after him and and You you hear it said often in in our world and TV you hear people say

Talk to the devil tell the devil to do this and tell the devil to do that and and rebuke the devil in Jesus name and That's not following the example of those who live in the heavenlies

That's not the order of things in the heavenlies Michael the archangel did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment and In saying

I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Sounds like we're getting close But we're still off the mark

Because we say I rebuke you and Michael the archangel didn't even do that.

But what did Michael do? He said the Lord rebuke you he left

The judgment upon the devil up to the Lord He he left the devil in God's hands.

He did not take them upon himself He didn't tell the devil what to do. He didn't pronounce judgment on him

He left the devil up to the Lord the Lord rebuke you Not I rebuke you in the name of Jesus or in the name of the

Lord He left it up So we need to follow the example of those who live in the heavenlies and not blaspheme it not reject it

But leave leave those things those judgments those railings

To the Lord and Let him fight those battles battles, you know, the Lord says vengeance is mine declares the

Lord I will repay so those things are up to him and we leave those things in his hands so that was

That was the second set of three these these folks defile the flesh they reject authority and They revile against the way things are done in the heavenlies they revile angelic majesties and now verse

Verse 10, but these men revile things which they do not understand Like I was talking about they they begin to blaspheme

What goes on in the heavenlies and they don't understand what goes on in the heavenlies and things which they know by instinct like unreasoning animals

By these things they are destroyed Another great warning to us to stay true to the

Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching of the Apostles and Strive in our disagreement to work together to get to his truth

But not be not be overcome and not be so Steadfast in our belief that comes from our emotion

But be willing to be transformed by the Word of God and reason together by the

Word of God Instead of our emotions and our experiences you know it we find it difficult sometimes to have a conversation with folks who

Base their beliefs on their experiences and their emotions. Well, you can't argue with me.

I've experienced that we need to I think the warning here is we will be destroyed if that's how we get our theology if that's how we get our beliefs and They end up being wrong

They were they revile things which they don't understand and the things that which they know by instinct like unreasoning animals we need to be not unreasoning but reasoning and logical and Willing to submit to the authority of God's Word and not and not stand on theology that comes from our experience and emotions and Then verse 11 the the great warning here woe to them

Woe to them For they have gone the way of Cain. What was the way of Cain and here's the last set of three

The way of Cain is he rejected God's authority He rejected he didn't submit to the way

God would have him do sacrifices He were he rejected God's authority and did not submit to him and how

God wanted to be approached how God wanted to be worshipped Cain rejected that and These people come in and teach us they do the same thing and they teach us to do the same thing

To to reject the way God would have us to do things It's and we need to look at our how we worship

God in our church how we How we order things in our church

Go about our ministries in our church. We need to do them God's way according to the

Bible and Not and not have a committee meeting and and strategize on which is the best way to approach the culture

We need to start with God's Word And Cain rejected

God's Word God's way of doing things He rejected God's authority and then the number two and for pay for financial gain

They have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam. What was the error of Balaam?

Well Balaam tried to get Balak Let's see

Yeah, Balak king of Moab to To entice or or get the the people of Israel to turn from God and to worship in idolatry and He tried to get the king to do this for financial gain for financial gain and then the last one and And perished in the rebellion of Korah and what was the rebellion of Korah is when the

Jewish leaders Rejected God's chosen leadership of Moses and Aaron and tried to do things their own way

So we need to watch out for those things within our midst Rejecting God's authority

Rejecting the the way God wants things to be done and it's and it's not all it's not always

Visible and noticeable When we reject God's authority by not doing things his way

Our leaders don't come to us and say we're not going to do things according to such -and -such verse. They don't make it that obvious They come to us appealing to us in such a way that it it makes

It makes sense or it looks good it looks enticing Just like how

Satan in Genesis made the fruit Look good to them, even though it was against God's Word.

He made it look enticing to them appealing Appealing and good for through for taste good for them and it would have good results

I mean He totally twisted and changed God's Word and that's how these folks will be and we have to be we have to contend earnestly

We have to agonize to know God's Word and know when these things are coming at us

We have to be aware Have our eyes open for the schemes of the devil for the schemes of These men who are are in it for financial gain or in it for themselves

They they're rejecting God at his authority, they're not submitting to him They want to do things their way, but it's coming at us in a way that's appealing

And I think for many years now We have become ignorant of God's Word There are so many of us that are illiterate of God's Word for so many years now

That we don't know the difference between we just trust what the preacher says

We just trust what our leaders say and we don't know God's Word ourselves. We don't become students of God's Word We put it on the shelf we put it aside and We think other things in our lives are important.

We live for the weekend instead of living for the

Lord and then when the preacher says this is what this is the way things should be and It appeals to us and it makes sense and we think it's good and we we think it will have good results

Because that's how it's presented to us But in the end it's destruction

Jew tells us it's eternal fire It's being bound for eternity for that that great day and of judgment and it's it's death and destruction

So be on your guard become students of God's Word and be on your guard

When when you're approached with with ideas and thoughts

Compare it to God's Word Because there's a warning against falling away

So I hope that was encouraging. I know it was probably long Yeah, it absolutely was absolutely was long, but it was it's good stuff

It's God's Word and I hope it was encouraging to you if you have any questions you want to talk about anything just send me a message and We'll have that conversation

Will join me Tuesday. We'll continue in Jude. I Think we're only looking at a couple verses next time

But what we want to do now is we want to pray for those Families that I that I mentioned earlier and if I can pray for you, let me know if you watch the video later

I'd love to be able to pray for you whenever I get that notification and I see that But I see you continue if you don't mind, you know, like share and definitely pray for me and my family pray for this ministry and Thank you for your support to keep that we continue getting a

God's Word out there The truth of his word of the gospel out there The the truth of the matter is

Jude Being a a member being a half -brother of Jesus being a member of the family of Jesus Once rejected him himself

Did a complete 180 and now is a bond servant of the

Lord Jesus Christ Jesus says he is the way the truth in the life and no one comes to the father but by him

And if you don't know him know him today Come to him today

Submit to him today We've all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. We all need a

Savior. We all need a rescuer God commands us to repent of our sins and Trust in the

Lord Jesus Christ. It's not a magic formula. It's not a Magic prayer

It's not a magic place It's where you are lifting up your eyes

Lifting up your heart gazing on the Lord Jesus Christ and calling out to him apologize and physically mentally emotionally spiritually

Turning from your sin Hating it never wanting to do it again and turning toward the

Lord Jesus Christ in faith trusting in what he did To save you so repent of your sins and trust in the

Lord Jesus Christ today and If you're still with me, I appreciate it. Let's pray together

Father we thank you for the time that you've given us together But we can spend so much time in your word and so much time together

Father most of all we want to pray right now For the families who lost loved ones these past two weekends it's

Father it's so difficult and we know that only you can provide peace

So father we pray for your glory We pray for your peace we pray for your comfort

We pray that the Lord Jesus Christ Will be lifted up we pray father that your

Holy Spirit Would work in our hearts work in the hearts of this these families

To bring comfort and strength and peace Father we ask that you would help them draw them to yourself

Because only you can help in times like these

So we appeal to you and we ask for your help

Father thank you again for your word Help us to be students of your word teach us from your word help us to have open eyes to false teaching and to false teachers and Father help us to submit and follow

Your ways and not the ways of man And we pray and ask these things in Jesus name.
