This week, Ralph discusses the trend of "accentuating the positive" when preaching the Gospel, something which often ends up distorting the Gospel. The Gospel is immensely positive - it offers us salvation! - but it also inspires awe when we contemplate the consequences for those who reject it. As St. Paul says in the Epistle to the Romans: we must "consider both the kindness and the severity of God" if we wish to preach the "full Gospel".

Jude is one of the shortest epistles in the New Testament. It’s only one chapter and it’s written by Jude, the brother of James, who was the first bishop of the Jerusalem community and was martyred. He was also a relative of Jesus. It’s a strong epistle. Let’s read it together. It will only take about 7 minutes with a little commentary.
