0:00.0	The You're going to do you.
0:13.0	Do you do you do you do you do
0:15.0	do you do When Jude wrote his letter, the early church was confused about what to believe, and the same can be said for believers in our day.
0:35.0	How do we find clarity?
0:37.0	We're going to hear the answers today on Truth for Life as Alistirbegg examines the way Jude closed his letter. We're looking today at verse 25.
0:47.0	What Jude is doing at the end of this letter which has covered all kinds of
0:56.2	circumstances as we know. What he is doing he's ending his letter by turning the
1:02.2	gaze of his readers to the living God, turning them to God,
1:08.1	the God with which his letter began.
1:10.5	Verse 1, they are the ones who have been called and loved and are being kept by God.
1:17.9	And so he ends his letter by confronting them with the greatness of God, his glory, his majesty, his

2:14.8	We've prayed for those who are in hospital, we are concerned for our loved ones,
2:20.0	we think about the nations of the world, the concerns of our own nation, and so on.
2:24.7	And someone might justifiably say, surely those are the issues that need to be addressed.
2:31.5	Some might even be as bold as to suggest that such a focus is unpractical if not actually irrelevant.
2:41.0	And so it is that I take up that challenge. It might be an imagined challenge, I don't know, but I'm
2:47.6	purposefully delaying in concluding in order that I might address with us this very issue. I want to say to you
2:56.4	that such a notion could never be further from the truth. Here we are stumbling our way towards the halfway mark of the 21st
