JUDE OVERVIEW – Jude 1-25 – 11-5-23

This message is our 13th sermon from the short, yet powerful epistle of Jude. Once a month, for more than a year, we have considered in detail the implications an applications of Jude's instructions to the church. Today we will seek to place these themes in context considering the book as a whole. I have taken as my outline for Jude's letter, the four-fold attribution closing the doxology and final verse. Here Jude ascribes glory, majesty, dominion, and authority to the only God. We have noted along the way that this list can be applied as a tool for discernment. This is to say that Jude equips the church to oppose anyone or any idea that would seek to diminish or deny the glory, majesty, dominion, and authority of Jesus Christ. Today we take each of these attributes as thematic of a four part division of the book. May the proclamation of the Word of God in Jude move us to worship the Lord in all aspects of our life and calling.
