Jude: Contend for the Faith
Do Not Follow Your Dreams
Jude

About this sermon
This sermon examines the warnings in Jude regarding false teachers who have crept into the church, emphasizing that their error stems from relying on personal dreams and desires rather than the sufficiency of God's Word. The central message is that elevating subjective feelings, logic, or cultural norms above Scripture leads to the perversion of grace into sensuality and the denial of Christ's lordship. The exposition highlights three specific consequences of this shift: defiling the flesh, rejecting divine authority, and blaspheming the glorious ones, using the example of Archangel Michael to illustrate the proper submission to God's judgment. The tone is convicting and pastoral, urging believers to examine their own hearts to ensure they are not unconsciously following their own dreams instead of submitting to the revealed will of God. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a return to the Bible as the sole foundation for faith and conduct, warning that altering the gospel results in the loss of salvation.
