The little book of Jude is seldom read, and rarely preached—much to the loss of the Body of Christ. Whereas today many messages and ministries are trumpets giving an uncertain call (1Co 4:8), this small book is a clear call to believers in Jesus Christ to enter the invisible war raging from the beginning of time. In the age-old campaign of Satan against God, the issue is always truth or deception (Joh 8:44–45). Thus, Jude confronts the deceivers of his time with the timeless truth of the good news of life in Christ, and challenges those who have received this life to “contend earnestly [struggle valiantly] for the faith.”

Love the Battle Session 4
From Series: "Learning to Love the Battle -- Tulsa, 2021"
Gene taught at the Tulsa Bible Conference hosted by Heritage Bible Church, Catoosa, OK Aug 27–29, 2021; the theme and title came from "The Lord is with me like a mighty champion..." (Jer 20:11). Why should we love the battle? 1) Because God is faithful and can turn our suffering into victory and our cursing into blessing. 2) We can love the battle because nothing can touch us without God’s permission. 3) We can learn to love the battle because God’s grace and truth is sufficient for our every need.
