The Real Celebrity (7 of 7)
Series: The Contender - Jude

Jude 24-25
Intro/Attention
Tonight, we conclude our Wednesday night series through the NT book of Jude. Our series has been entitled, The Contender as we have walked through every verse in this NT book. Tonight, we come to the final two verses, 24-45 as we think about the subject, The Real Celebrity. READ TEXT
