Week #7 Study Questions

Jude (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Jude 1-25)

1. Jude is one of four half-brothers of Christ (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3). (Mary and Joseph had kids after Jesus!) Do you think it would be easy or hard to have God in human form as a relative living under your roof?

2. Initially, Jude does not believe His brother is the Messiah (John 7:5), but obviously he comes around later (Jude 1). How might this be an encouragement to a person whose family members are rejecting the Gospel?

3. Jude speaks of an attack on the Church in his day by men who are practicing and promoting licentiousness (Jude 4). Google "licentiousnes" to find out what it means or look it up in the dictionary. How do you think a person might justify a licentious lifestyle and yet still regard himself a believer?

4. Read the following verses: Jude 8, 10, 12-13 and 16 and make a list of all the sins being committed by certain men under the scrutiny of Jude. Then consider whether or not any one of these sins is a problem in your own life. If you are having a problem in any of these areas, what can you do to turn it around starting now?
