Jude | Keeping Yourself in the Love of God - Season 5, Episode 80

from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Jesse Becker

What does it actually mean to keep yourself in the love of God, and how do you stay close to Him when the world feels increasingly hostile to faith? Pastor Andrew Calabrese examines Jude's closing instructions to a church confronting false teachers, showing that spiritual drift rarely happens all at once but through slow neglect, like a fire left untended. He identifies four practical disciplines: feeding on Scripture, praying in the Spirit, living with eternity in view, and loving others enough to rescue them from spiritual danger. Rather than reacting to cultural darkness with anxiety, believers are called to intentional closeness with God. Listeners are challenged to examine whether their own fire is still burning, and to consider who around them may need compassion, urgency, or rescue.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
