Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost, 2025

In this sermon, we reach the climax of Jude’s warnings as he summons the ancient witness of Enoch to remind the Church that God’s judgment is never random but restores divine order. Through Enoch’s prophecy, Jude reveals that the Lord’s coming brings both mercy to the faithful and conviction to the ungodly. Yet even in judgment, the Church is kept in hope — learning that to contend rightly, we must speak rightly, guarding our hearts and our words until the Lord who comes to judge also comes to keep. Text: Jude 14-16
