    The purpose of this message is to help us understand that the church is to minister to all walks of life and all kinds of people as God gives us the opportunity and to encourage us to reach out to the needy in our communities.

    Introduction: Today we are continuing our series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. When we began two weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the Body of Christ is love. That is why Paul said in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity.” ...read more

    Jude warns us from false teachings, but in the final two verses of this little letter, Jude gives a doxology that states our security in Jesus.

    Something I seldom do and that is switch to another translation of the Bible. This morning I will be using the English Standard Version rather than the New King James Version for our text of Jude 24-25 because of the differences between the different versions based on different Greek manuscripts. ...read more
