The theme for the Spring 2011 Bible conference in Phoenix is found both at the beginning and end of the book (1Ti 1:18, 1Ti 6:12). In each reference, different words and phrases are used. In the first, Paul speaks of the good fight of faith as an ongoing campaign, thus reminding us that we are part of a vast and great spiritual army. In the last, his words focus on our own personal struggle, a good reminder that no one can fight our battle for us. This scope and intensity will be captured as we follow Paul’s thought through the book.Gene Cunningham - January 9, 2003
Jude #1
Introduction and premise: How do we contend for the faith? The objective of the faith is a relationship with God. Heb 11:6, "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Rom 10:14-17 Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Jud 1-4; the believer is "called" through the Gospel, "sanctified" by the work of the Holy Spirit--set apart to God as His personal possession; "preserved" = the eternal security of the believer; 2Pe 1:21; 1Co 2:14; 2Ti 3:16; Mat 4:4; The five aspects of the Inerrancy of Scripture: Revelation, Inspiration, Preservation, Illumination, and Interpretation
