     | 5,504 views

    In week one we looked at the example of Jesus. In week two we looked at the example of Paul. Today, we'll see that it's not only the good examples we can learn from but the bad examples too.

    Imagine a church where everyone is your greatest cheerleader. They believe you can do it. They help you do it. They help when you stumble, and they're thrilled when you succeed. Barnabas in Acts is the perfect example of how to encourage one another.

    The devil, according to an old story, once advertised his tools for sale. On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each marked with a price.

    A donkey in the hands of the Lord, is superior to a donkey of a man. Balaam was the real donkey. If it was not for an obedient donkey, Balaam would have died as a disobedient donkey, and the obedient donkey would have lived. Jude continues the message on false teachers

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."
