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 Study Guide is to be used by each student in the Sunday School class. It contains helpful summaries of each lesson and provides the student with a place to take notes while the lesson is being taught. Also provided are daily Bible readings and questions to help the student prepare for next week’s lesson.

Notable Quotes of Charles H. Spurgeon

Trials

“You say, O Sir, you do not know what my trial is!’ No, I do not, but your heavenly Father does, and if He loved you when you were ungodly, will He cast you away, now that He has shed His love abroad in your heart? ‘Oh, but I have lost the very staff of bread! I do not know how I am to get a living.’ No, but you have the living God to depend upon and, after giving His Son to save you, He will surely give you bread! He will not let you famish. ‘Ah, but, my dear Sir, the beloved of my heart is laid low! There is, in the cemetery, the dearest object of my affection.’ Is it really so? I thought that He left the dead some time ago. I thought that the dearest object of your affection had gone up to the right hand of the Father. Is it not so? ‘Ah, that is not what I mean, Sir! I mean that I have lost one whom I fondly loved.’ I know that you have, but do you think that the Lord has turned against you because He has permitted this trial to come upon you? How can He ever desert those for whom He died? And if He died for them when they were ungodly, will He not live for them, now that He has shed His love abroad in their hearts by the Holy Spirit?”—1893, Sermon #2340

“And He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. Their practice was to sit down to speak, while the people usually stood to hear—a very good custom, indeed. If we did the same, perhaps we should have fewer of our hearers going to sleep.”—1893, Sermon #2330

“If you could understand your religion, it would be one that did not come from God—it would have been made by a man of limited capacity, like yourselves, who was, therefore, able to make what you can comprehend. But inasmuch as there are mysteries in your faith, to the top of which you cannot climb, be thankful that you need not climb them.” —1893, Sermon #2303
