    The sermon teaches that true peace comes from intentionally focusing our thoughts on what is good and true, rather than letting anxious thoughts control us.

    Some weeks feel like the noise won’t quit. Screens glow. Headlines glare. Opinions shout.

    When you hear the word “contend,” what comes to mind? An ugly fight? A heated argument? These are negative connotations, but contending can also be a very good thing, and that’s exactly what we see in the book of Jude.

And how do we do that? ANALYSIS OF VERSE 3 Diligence (Gr. spoude)—to interest one’s self most earnestly ...read more
