Discovering Jude: A Call to Contend for the Faith and Walk in Truth

Welcome to our study of the Book of Jude—a fiery and urgent appeal to remain grounded in the truth of the gospel. Though only 25 verses long, this powerful epistle calls believers to be vigilant, discerning, and unwavering in a world where truth is under attack.

Written by Jude, the brother of James (and half-brother of Jesus), this letter warns against false teachers who distort grace into license and lead others away from godliness. Yet Jude doesn’t just offer rebuke—he also gives believers the tools and encouragement needed to stand firm in the love and mercy of God.
