Sermon Questions
- What three words does Jude use to describe the church in v.1? What do these mean?
- God saves us regardless of our state of life, yet cares deeply about transforming our lives. How do you hold those two together?
- Babel represents a reversal of our Edenic mission—and it continues in our world today. Rather than spread God's name across the earth, we localize God and "make a name for ourselves." How do you "localize" God — in your daily rhythms, your disposition at work, your relationships with family members, etc.?
