Subtitle: A Short Bible Study from this Challenging Book for all!
Summary: There are three short books which nestle together at the end of the New Testament, two written by John, his second and third Epistles, followed by the one written by Jude. Those written by John were probably written around AD85-90 while that by Jude more likely to be around AD66 before the Destruction of the Temple. As we all see there are similarities between Jude and 2 Peter in their respective concerns for the believers and the acceptance and dangers of false teachers permeating through the churches of God. Some believe that Jude was probably written after the death of Peter. Who is Jude, the writer of this short letter? Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James. It seems to be generally accepted that Jude was a half-brother of Jesus Christ and therefore obviously, brother of James. It appears that in the early church there was only one James who could be referred to in this way without further elaboration; such as “James, the Lord’s brother” in Gal. 1v19.- see also Matt 13:55, Mark 6:3 and Acts 1:13. As to whom this short, but nonetheless important Epistle was written and directed, there are some differences of opinion. Some think that it may have been written to the Churches of Asia Minor as was the book of 2Peter something we will look at in due course. Others think perhaps that it was directed to the believers in Palestine who would have been familiar with the bits of Jewish history within the book. Whichever it was we are glad that it was written for our edification and help as we traverse this “present evil world” Gal 1:4. One of the main themes in this book is the need “to exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. And if it was necessary for Jude long centuries ago to exhort faithful men to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3), how much more necessary is it today.” So let us read the greeting from this man who was weighed down with the situation within the Churches.

Fowey Fellowship / Presented in Glory0:34:11128kbps4410031.3 MB
There is a city bright; Closed are its gates to sin; Naught that defileth, Naught that defileth, Can ever enter in. Lord, make me, from this hour, Thy loving child to be, Kept by Thy power, Kept by Thy power, From all that grieveth Thee. Till in the snow white dress Of Thy redeemed I stand, Faultless and stainless, Faultless and stainless, Safe in that happy land. Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God and Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. AMEN!
To present us blameless in Glory.

Fowey Fellowship / Murmurers and Complainers.0:23:32128kbps4410021.56 MB
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. 2 Peter 3. 1-4. This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:  that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:  knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Fowey Fellowship / Spots0:33:54128kbps4410031.05 MB
 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Timothy 6. 13/14. Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5. 25-27.

Fowey Fellowship / Self Promotion in the Things of God0:38:09128kbps4410034.93 MB
Now these dreamers follow the same principles as the three men mentioned here in v 11 and today we have them in many churches, the same principles being re-enacted and acted out in the lives of false teachers. There is nothing new under the sun. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. Jude 10/11

Fowey Fellowship / We hae been warned!0:40:29128kbps4410037.07 MB
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
