TITLE: Lest We Forget
SERIES: Jude: Faith Under Fire
TEXT: Jude 5-16

How to ensure we don't compromise the truth:
1. Stay grounded in the Word of God.
2. Seek discernment through the Holy Spirit.
3. Teach the next generation.

Study Questions:
1. Why is it essential for the Church to remember the examples from the past (Israel, angels, Sodom and Gomorrah) that Jude mentions? How do these examples help us today?
Application: Consider one area in your life where you've been tempted to compromise. How does remembering these examples encourage you to stay firm?

2. In what ways do false teachers subtly distort the truth in today's culture? How can we guard against being deceived?
Application: Identify a current trend or teaching that you believe conflicts with biblical truth. How can you lovingly stand firm on Scripture in your conversations with others?

3. Jude compares false teachers to Cain, Balaam, and Korah. What are the common traits between these individuals, and how do they manifest in false teachings today?
Application: Reflect on how pride, greed, and rebellion might show up in your own heart. What steps can you take to ensure you remain submitted to God's authority?

4. What practical steps can you take to ensure that the next generation in your family or church is not led astray by false teachings?
Application: Commit to one specific action (teaching, mentorship, prayer, etc.) to help the next generation stay grounded in biblical truth.
