“The Problem With Grace” – Jude 1-4 – SERIES: SMALL BUT MIGHTY

Jude wanted to write about the wonderful grace of God, but he couldn’t, instead he had to put out a fire.  He was forced to encourage the believers to fight against false teachers in their midst, Antinomians.  Individuals who abused the grace of God, by using it as an excuse to sin.  Jude points out the Antinomians and calls their views a virus in the church.    So . . . how do we deal with similar types in the church today?  Join us as we discover the right way to deal with license and also point out how we often just solve one problem with another.   Sermon originally preached on April 22, 2012.
