Contending for The Faith in These Last Days - Ep. 872 - March 19, 2026

What does it really mean to contend for the Faith in the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland open Jude and confront the warning signs of apostasy head-on. This conversation gets straight to the point. Jude's message wasn't vague, and it wasn't meant only for another time. It speaks to the church right now. Alan and Jeff walk through Jude 1 through 5 and connect it to Israel in the wilderness, showing how people can witness God's power, enjoy His blessing, and still refuse obedience when it matters most. They break down why Contending for the faith takes more than talk. It takes courage, obedience, and a willingness to stand on God's Word when false teaching creeps in. They also explain the difference between salvation and inheritance, why miracles don't replace obedience, and why Joshua and Caleb still matter as examples for believers today. Along the way, this episode covers: how Jude warns about men creeping into the church unnoticed, why turning grace into license leads to judgment, what Israel's failure in the wilderness teaches the church, why obedience matters more than chasing miracles, how to recognize false teaching in the Last Days, and why believers must earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. If you care about biblical truth, apostasy in the church, end times deception, and standing firm in your walk with Christ, this episode is worth your full attention. Watch, share, and stay in the Word. #ContendingForTheFaith #LastDays #Faith #BookOfJude #ChristianPodcast
