To Keep Us from Stumbling
Christ Proclamation Church

Jude 1–25

Sermon Theme: God made a way for sinful people to be reconciled to a holy God through Christ’s substitutionary death on the cross. So God saves us, but God also protects us and God promises to take us all the way home to glory. In response, we are called and commanded to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints even as we persevere in that faith!
