Studies In The Book Of Jude - Teacher Guide

$12.95

In this day when even the most fundamental teachings of our faith are under intense assault by the forces of darkness, this study of the book of Jude rings with a fresh urgency. Pastor Sexton echoes Jude’s call for believers to be bold for Christ in the face of the rising tide of unbelief. He describes the acts of the apostates and concludes with the triumphant reminder that Christ is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless in His glorious presence.

The Teacher’s Guide is a three-ring notebook containing valuable information to assist the teacher in the preparation and presentation of the Bible lesson. These notes are identical in format to the Study Guide. The page numbers on the “Teacher’s Notes” correspond to the page numbers in the Study Guide. Also included are class teaching notes and lesson aims which may be removed from the Teacher’s Guide and placed in the teacher’s Bible to assist in teaching the lesson.

Notable Quotes of Charles H. Spurgeon

Established Church

“I believe in an established Church—not established by acts of Parliament—but established by the purpose and by the Presence of God in the midst of it.”—1894, Sermon #2363

Baptism

“Read the New Testament impartially and you will always find that those who were baptized were Believers. They believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and then they were baptized into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”—1893, Sermon #2339

“Oftentimes, I believe that this little matter of Believers’ Baptism is the test of the sincerity of our profession of love to Him. It would have been all the same, it may be, if the Lord Jesus Christ had said, ‘Pick up six stones off the ground and carry them in your pocket and you shall be saved.’ Somebody would have said, ‘That stone-picking is a non-essential.’ It becomes essential as soon as Christ commands it! It is in this way that Baptism, if not essential to your salvation, is essential to your obedience to Christ. If you have become His disciple, you are bound to obey all your Master’s commands—‘Whatever He says unto you, do it.’”—1893, Sermon #2339

“You pray, dear Friend, do you? But you never speak to the individual for whom you pray. Is your prayer sincere? I will not question it. But your prayer has hardly reached that pitch of passionate earnestness which will secure an answer, for if you were in downright earnest, you would go to the person for whom you pray and explain the way of salvation!”—1891, Sermon #2214

“Try to cheer another heart and you will go the nearest way to cheer your own.”—1893, Sermon #2322
