Teaching God’s Word

Pastor Matt Coombe

Same Apostasy, Different Day

Jude 14-19

Sound doctrine and divine boundaries have always been resisted. Jude shows that the rebellion of our day mirrors the rebellion of the ancient world. Same apostasy, different day.

1. ✝ THEY REPEAT AN ANCIENT REBELLION (14–15)

(14) “Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying,
‘Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,’

(15) ‘to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.’”

□ The __________________________ of their rebellion (14)
 (Genesis 6:1–5; Matthew 24:37)

□ The __________________________ of their rebellion (15a)
 (2 Peter 2:4–5)

□ The __________________________ of their rebellion (15b)
 (Romans 2:5–6)

□ The __________________________ of their rebellion (15c)
 (Revelation 19:11–16)

2. ✝ THEY REFUSE GOD’S DESIGN AND EXALT THEMSELVES (16–18)

(16) “These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.”

(17) “But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:”

(18) “how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.”

□ __________________________ speech (16a) (Philippians 2:14–15)

□ __________________________ desires (16b) (Romans 8:5–8)

□ __________________________ words (16c) (James 3:5–6)

□ __________________________ mindset (17–18) (2 Timothy 3:1–5; 2 Peter 3:3)

3. ✝ THEY ARE DEVOID OF THE SPIRIT (19)

(19) “These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.”

□ The __________________________ of the Spirit (19)
 (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:19–23)

✝ APPLICATION & ACTION POINT

In an age repeating the same rebellion — from Noah’s world to Jude’s world to ours — believers must anchor themselves in the Spirit of God.

□ Choose today to walk by the __________ and not by the __________
 (Galatians 5:16–17)

□ Guard your heart against the spirit of the age by __________
 (1 Peter 1:13)

Prayer Spotlight

Jason & Kathi Berga, New Gloucester, ME

Eastern District: Skip & Venita Pullen

New Gloucester is in the center of an area commonly described as the most spiritually dark place in North America. Maine likely brings to mind the ocean, mountains, and pine trees, but our area also suffers from a growing housing and drug crisis.

PRAYER REQUESTS: 1) Pray for the church to be able to reach out to young families through our children's ministry, "Kids Quest." This year we had a record number of children at VBS – an average of 80 per day. 2) Pray for the church's commitment to discipleship. 3) Pray for continued unity in our church body. 4) Pray for the Lord's strength for Kathi and me as we minister.
