[740.96 --> 742.80] They thought they had it all figured out. |
[744.06 --> 746.42] I know exactly what God wants. |
[746.84 --> 748.88] You can't tell me otherwise. |
[751.66 --> 754.06] But Jesus, along with Jude, |
[754.56 --> 757.20] his message is a message of love, |
[757.52 --> 760.30] and it's good news for those that are sick, |
[760.90 --> 761.52] Jesus says. |
[762.02 --> 764.52] I have come as a healer for the sick, |
[764.78 --> 767.10] not for those who think they're healthy, |
[767.42 --> 769.74] who think that they have everything figured out. |
[769.74 --> 773.28] And Jude is writing to those |
[773.28 --> 776.88] who are struggling with that same humility, |
[777.58 --> 779.56] that same brokenness. |
[780.20 --> 783.22] And he wants to encourage those who are doubting |
[783.22 --> 785.70] because doubting, we all doubt. |
[786.72 --> 788.60] We can all doubt in our faith journeys. |
[788.60 --> 791.04] And he says to love one another |
[791.04 --> 792.88] and build one another up |
[792.88 --> 795.32] to stand firm in our faith. |
[796.62 --> 798.98] And that's the first encouragement from verse 20, |
[799.10 --> 799.80] as Jude says. |
[800.60 --> 802.34] But you, dear friends, beloved, |
[803.04 --> 804.76] by building yourselves up |
[804.76 --> 806.46] in your most holy faith |
[806.46 --> 808.60] and praying in the Holy Spirit. |
[808.60 --> 812.94] This image is sort of an architectural image |
[812.94 --> 813.86] that you, |
[814.72 --> 815.66] and I want to pause here |
[815.66 --> 816.66] and emphasize this point. |
[816.92 --> 818.48] Dave did it really well before. |
[818.84 --> 819.90] I think I have a better accent. |
[820.28 --> 821.56] We really need to retrieve |
[821.56 --> 823.02] in our Canadian English |
[823.02 --> 824.92] that this is not you singular. |
[825.34 --> 827.10] You individually saved souls |
[827.10 --> 827.84] gathered together |
[827.84 --> 828.84] because this is for you. |
[829.10 --> 831.60] No, it's always about you all. |
[832.06 --> 832.74] It's y'all. |
[833.24 --> 833.42] Right? |
[833.50 --> 834.32] That Texan accent. |
[834.70 --> 835.02] Y'all. |
[835.18 --> 837.50] You need to build y'all selves up. |
[837.50 --> 838.50] Okay? |
[839.28 --> 840.20] I know it sounds funny |
[840.20 --> 841.34] because we're not used to it. |
[841.54 --> 843.10] If I were preaching this in Dallas or something, |
[843.20 --> 843.64] they'd be like, |
[843.68 --> 844.72] oh, sounds great. |
[845.90 --> 847.52] You need to build your, |
[847.70 --> 849.54] all of yourselves up together |
[849.54 --> 851.94] in the teachings of the living Word of God. |
[852.04 --> 852.90] Again, doctrine. |
[854.00 --> 855.48] In community, through fellowship, |
[855.92 --> 857.52] holding each other in accountability |
[857.52 --> 859.20] with care and gentleness, |
[859.50 --> 861.38] through confession and forgiveness, |
[861.68 --> 865.56] through shared spiritual practices and rhythms, |
[865.56 --> 867.06] like praying together, |
[867.06 --> 868.86] which builds character. |
[869.28 --> 871.08] Again, doctrine and character |
[871.08 --> 873.16] founded in Jesus Christ. |
[874.30 --> 876.86] This is the same image that we get from Paul. |
[876.96 --> 879.20] This is not just Jude preaching to us. |
[879.44 --> 881.02] Paul says the same thing in Ephesians. |
[881.66 --> 883.00] You, right? |
[883.14 --> 884.04] Hear it, y'all. |
[884.04 --> 887.56] You all are no longer foreigners and strangers, |
[888.06 --> 890.20] but fellow citizens with God's people |
[890.20 --> 892.20] and also members of his household, |
[892.48 --> 893.16] his family. |
[894.74 --> 896.34] You are built on the foundation |
[896.34 --> 899.24] of the apostles' and the prophets' doctrine, |
[899.62 --> 901.64] with Christ Jesus himself |
[901.64 --> 903.62] as the chief cornerstone. |
[904.30 --> 905.18] That's our foundation. |
[906.42 --> 908.28] In him, in Jesus Christ, |
[908.62 --> 909.94] the whole building, |
[909.94 --> 911.86] again, build yourselves up. |
[911.86 --> 914.34] The whole building is joined together |
[914.34 --> 917.92] and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. |
[919.52 --> 920.90] That's the church. |
[921.76 --> 922.70] That's us. |
[922.70 --> 927.66] And notice that it's significant |
[927.66 --> 928.90] that Jude, |
[929.26 --> 931.06] out of all the spiritual practices |
[931.06 --> 932.18] that he could have named, |
[932.70 --> 934.56] he names and emphasizes just one. |
[935.50 --> 936.42] You know which one it is? |
[937.78 --> 938.72] It's prayer. |
[939.60 --> 940.88] Build yourselves up |
[940.88 --> 942.94] in the most holy faith |
[942.94 --> 945.46] and pray in the Holy Spirit. |
[945.46 --> 949.06] I have this, |
[949.06 --> 951.46] what do you call it, |
[951.64 --> 952.08] a frame |
[952.08 --> 953.82] that my mother-in-law got for me |
[953.82 --> 954.98] as my ordination gift. |
[955.22 --> 956.12] And it simply says, |
[956.46 --> 957.88] turn your worries into prayer. |
