This morning we spent some time in the little but urgent book of Jude with a message called “Contending for the Faith.”

Jude warns the church about distorted grace—a version of grace that sounds Christian, but turns God’s mercy into permission to live however we want.

And he calls us to contend for the faith—not as angry people looking for a fight, but as beloved people who belong to Jesus.

When life falls apart and everything feels broken beyond repair, where do we turn? This week we continue our journey through the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, discovering how God still rebuilds what seems irreparably broken.
