Jude 1 - What Jude Teaches Us About False Teaching Today

Jude is one of the most overlooked books in the New Testament — just 25 verses — but it packs one of the fiercest appeals to “contend for the faith” in all of Scripture. This episode walks verse by verse through Jude’s warning against false teachers, his three Old Testament examples, his surprising quotation from the Book of Enoch, and the beloved doxology that closes the letter. If you’ve ever wondered why Jude quotes a non-biblical text, what “contending for the faith” actually means in the original Greek, or how a 25-verse letter ended up shaping church teaching for 2,000 years, this episode covers it all.
