Dear Friend in Christ,

Body
Currently at First Baptist Church in Holliday, I’m preaching a sermon series on the Book of Jude. When Jude warned his listeners to remain faithful, no matter what, this was not just an empty warning. It was a warning which was needed in light of the large number of Christians who were turning their backs on God.
Dear Friend in Christ,
