• 1:04
  through

  from

  Message.
• 1:06
  But
• 1:07
  remember,
• 1:07
  dear
• 1:07
  friends,
• 1:08
  that
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  apostles
• 1:09
  of
• 1:09
  our
• 1:09
  Master
• 1:10
  Jesus
• 1:10
  Christ
• 1:11
  told
• 1:11
  us
• 1:12
  this
• 1:12
  would
• 1:12
  happen
• 1:13
  in
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  last
• 1:14
  days.
• 1:14
  There
• 1:14
  would
• 1:14
  be
• 1:15
  people
• 1:15
  who
• 1:15
  don't
• 1:15
  take
• 1:16
  these
• 1:16
  things
• 1:16
  seriously
• 1:17
  anymore.
• 1:17
  They'll
• 1:18
  treat
• 1:18
  it
• 1:18
  like
• 1:18
  a
• 1:18
  joke
• 1:19
  and
• 1:19
  make
• 1:19
  religion
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  their
• 1:20
  own
• 1:20
  whims
• 1:21
  and
• 1:21
  lusts.
• 1:23
  These
• 1:23
  are
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  ones
• 1:23
  who
• 1:23
  split
• 1:24
  churches,
• 1:24
  thinking
• 1:25
  only
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  themselves.
• 1:26
  There
• 1:27
  is
• 1:27
  nothing
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  them,
• 1:27
  no
• 1:28
  sign
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  Spirit.
• 1:30
  But
• 1:30
  you,
• 1:30
  dear
• 1:30
  friends,
• 1:31
  carefully
• 1:31
  build
• 1:32
  yourselves
• 1:32
  up.
• 1:33
  This
• 1:34
  is
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  most
• 1:34
  holy
• 1:35
  faith
• 1:35
  by
• 1:35
  praying
• 1:36
  in
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  Holy
• 1:36
  Spirit,
• 1:37
  staying
• 1:37
  right
• 1:37
  at
• 1:37
  the
• 1:38
  center
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  God's
• 1:38
  love,
• 1:39
  keeping
• 1:39
  your
• 1:39
  arms
• 1:40
  open
• 1:40
  and
• 1:40
  outstretched,
• 1:41
  ready
• 1:41
  for
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  mercy
• 1:42
  of
• 1:42
  our
• 1:42
  Master
• 1:42
  Jesus
• 1:43
  Christ.
• 1:44
  This
• 1:44
  is
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  unending
• 1:45
  life,
• 1:45
  the
• 1:46
  real
• 1:46
  life.
• 1:48
  Go
• 1:48
  easy
• 1:48
  on
• 1:48
  those
• 1:49
  who
• 1:49
  hesitate
• 1:49
  in
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  faith.
• 1:50
  Go
• 1:51
  after
• 1:51
  those
• 1:51
  who
• 1:51
  take
• 1:52
  the
• 1:52
  wrong
• 1:52
  way.
• 1:53
  Be
• 1:53
  tender
• 1:54
  with
• 1:54
  sinners,
• 1:55
  but
• 1:55
  not
• 1:55
  soft
• 1:56
  on
• 1:56
  sin.
• 1:57
  The
• 1:58
  sin
• 1:58
  itself
• 1:58
  stinks
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  high
• 1:59
  heaven
• 2:01
  now
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  him
• 2:01
  who
• 2:02
  can
• 2:02
  keep
• 2:02
  you
• 2:02
  on
• 2:02
  your
• 2:02
  feet,
• 2:03
  standing
• 2:04
  tall
• 2:04
  in
• 2:04
  his
• 2:04
  bright
• 2:05
  presence,
• 2:05
  fresh
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  celebrating
• 2:07
  to
• 2:07
  our
• 2:08
  one
• 2:08
  God,
• 2:08
  our
• 2:08
  only
• 2:09
  Savior,
• 2:09
  through
• 2:10
  Jesus
• 2:10
  Christ,
• 2:10
  our
• 2:11
  Master.
• 2:11
  Be
• 2:12
  glory,
• 2:12
  majesty,
• 2:13
  strength
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  rule
• 2:15
  before
• 2:15
  all
• 2:15
  time
• 2:16
  now
• 2:16
  unto
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  end
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  all
• 2:17
  time.
• 2:18
  Yes,
• 2:20
  that
• 2:20
  ends
• 2:21
  the
• 2:22
  reading
• 2:22
  here
• 2:23
  from
• 2:24
  this
• 2:25
  passage
• 2:26
  from
• 2:26
  the
• 2:28
  Letter
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  Jude.
• 2:29
  And
• 2:30
  in
• 2:30
  this
• 2:30
  reading,
• 2:31
  Jude
• 2:31
  sees
• 2:32
  communities
• 2:32
  getting
• 2:32
  torn
• 2:33
  up
• 2:33
  by
• 2:33
  ego
• 2:33
  and
• 2:34
  cynicism,
• 2:34
  and
• 2:35
  he's
• 2:35
  pretty
• 2:36
  blunt
• 2:36
  about
• 2:36
  it.
• 2:36
  He
• 2:36
  says
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  some
• 2:37
  folks
• 2:37
  make
• 2:37
  religion
• 2:38
  out
• 2:38
  of
• 2:38
  their
• 2:38
  whims
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  split
• 2:39
  churches
• 2:40
  and
• 2:41
  treat
• 2:41
  sacrifices
• 2:42
  as
• 2:42
  things
• 2:43
  like
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  joke.
• 2:43
  But
• 2:43
  then
• 2:44
  he
• 2:44
  pivots.
• 2:45
  Build
• 2:45
  yourself
• 2:46
  up
• 2:46
  in
• 2:46
  love,
• 2:46
  he
• 2:46
  says.
• 2:47
  Keep
• 2:47
  your
• 2:47
  arms
• 2:47
  open
• 2:47
  for
• 2:48
  mercy.
• 2:48
  Go
• 2:48
  gently
• 2:49
  with
• 2:49
  doubters.
• 2:50
  Be
• 2:51
  tender
• 2:51
  with
• 2:51
  people
• 2:51
  and
• 2:52
  firm
• 2:52
  with
• 2:52
  them
• 2:52
  who
• 2:52
  harm
• 2:53
  you.
• 2:54
  And
• 2:54
  be
• 2:54
  firm
• 2:54
  with
• 2:55
  what
• 2:55
  harms
• 2:55
  them
• 2:55
  and
• 2:56
  trust
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  one
• 2:57
  who
• 2:57
  keeps
• 2:58
  us
• 2:58
  standing.
• 2:59
  That's
• 3:00
  kind
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  our
• 3:00
  overview
• 3:01
  of
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  scripture
• 3:01
  there.
• 3:02
  And
• 3:02
  let's
• 3:02
  get
• 3:02
  a
• 3:02
  little
• 3:02
  deeper
• 3:03
  now
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  some
• 3:03
  points
• 3:03
  to
• 3:04
  ponder.
• 3:06
  First
• 3:06
  is
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  stay
• 3:08
  at
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  center
• 3:08
  of
• 3:09
  love
• 3:09
  on
• 3:10
  purpose.
• 3:11
  Jude
• 3:12
  says
• 3:13
  build
• 3:14
  yourselves
• 3:14
  up.
• 3:14
  Staying
• 3:15
  right
• 3:15
  at
• 3:15
  the
• 3:16
  center
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  God's
• 3:17
  love.
• 3:18
  That's
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  practice,
• 3:20
  not
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  vibe,
• 3:21
  not
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  feeling.
• 3:22
  That's
• 3:22
  a
• 3:22
  practice.
• 3:23
  And
• 3:23
  progressive
• 3:23
  faith
• 3:24
  treats
• 3:24
  prayer,
• 3:25
  therapy,
• 3:25
  community
• 3:26
  care,
• 3:26
  justice
• 3:27
  and
• 3:27
  justice
• 3:28
  work
• 3:28
  as
• 3:29
  braided
• 3:29
  strands
• 3:30
  of
• 3:30
  one
• 3:30
  love,
• 3:31
  not
• 3:32
  escaping
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  world
• 3:32
  we're
• 3:33
  resourcing
• 3:34
  to
• 3:34
  engage
• 3:34
  it.
• 3:35
  Prayer
• 3:36
  in
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  spirit
• 3:36
  can
• 3:36
  look
• 3:37
  like
• 3:37
  breath,
• 3:37
  prayers
• 3:38
  before
• 3:38
  a
• 3:38
  hard
• 3:38
  conversation,
• 3:39
  a
• 3:40
  support
• 3:40
  group
• 3:40
  that
• 3:41
  names
• 3:41
  a
• 3:42
  reality
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  walk
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  woods
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  returns
• 3:44
  us
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  our
• 3:44
  bodies
• 3:45
  or
• 3:45
  advocating
• 3:45
  for
• 3:46
  policies
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  reduce
• 3:47
  harm.
• 3:48
  The
• 3:49
  point
• 3:49
  isn't
• 3:49
  spiritual
• 3:50
  performance,
• 3:50
  it's
• 3:51
  staying
• 3:51
  rooted
• 3:51
  enough
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  love
• 3:53
  well.
• 3:54
  Another
• 3:55
  point
• 3:55
  is
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  be
• 3:55
  gentle
• 3:57
  with
• 3:57
  struggle
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  firm
• 3:58
  with
• 3:59
  harm.
• 4:01
  It
• 4:01
  says
• 4:01
  here
• 4:01
  in
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  scripture,
• 4:02
  go
• 4:02
  easy
• 4:03
  with
• 4:03
  those
• 4:03
  who
• 4:03
  hesitate.
• 4:04
  Be
• 4:04
  tender
• 4:05
  with
• 4:05
  sinners,
• 4:05
  but
• 4:06
  not
• 4:06
  soft
• 4:06
  on
• 4:07
  sin.
• 4:08
  Interesting
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  beautiful
• 4:10
  turn
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  phrase
• 4:11
  there.
• 4:12
  It's
• 4:12
  a
• 4:12
  beautiful
• 4:12
  ethic
• 4:13
  for
• 4:14
  messy
• 4:14
  communities.
• 4:15
  People
• 4:16
  deserve
• 4:16
  patience,
• 4:17
  harmful
• 4:17
  patterns,
• 4:19
  not
• 4:19
  boundaries.
• 4:21
  A
• 4:21
  progressive
• 4:22
  reading
• 4:22
  refuses
• 4:23
  shame.
• 4:24
  Doubt
• 4:24
  isn't
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  defect.
• 4:25
  It's
