Examples of Disobedience - Jude 1:5-7

The sermon text for January 18 is Jude 5-7. Here are some questions to assist you in your preparation for this sermon.

1. In verse 5, Jude tells his audience that he wants them to "remember." Why is remembering such an important aspect of our Christian faith?

2. What exactly does Jude want his readers to remember?

3. When you think of the Israelites being "saved out of Egypt" and then those who did not believe being "destroyed," does it surprise you that Jude attributes both of these actions to Jesus? How would you explain this to the person who says, "But Jesus had not even been born yet?"

4. For what reason does Jude ask his readers to remember "the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority?"

5. In what way are the fallen angels similar to Sodom and Gomorrah?
