Jude’s letter is a call to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. In today’s lesson we observe the call to contend for truth against heresy.

Righteousness Plus

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 10, 2011

Righteousness greater than that of the Pharisees isn't about behavior: it's about bone-deep transformation.

Perverting Grace Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Jul 11, 2012

Titus teaches the debilitating effect of perverting the grace of God.

Introduction There is a problem that has plagued mankind as old as the story of Adam and Eve; indeed, is traced to what took place in the Garden.

The Truth About Truth

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 26, 2012

It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).
