Jude 1:5-9
August 01, 2023 21:43These verses contain some very powerful imagery which mirrors 2nd Peter chapter 2 in theme, but adding some information for our consideration. We get a look at God's judgment upon Israel, upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and upon the rebellious angels to show that God will also judge the false teachers that had infiltrated the church. We also get a window into the contention over the "body of Moses" and the angelic realm. Listen in as we tackle these heavy topics! jude [...]

Jude Introduction
August 01, 2023 21:06The epistle of Jude is a particularly interesting book that, despite its small size, offers a great deal of theological material to consider.
