Jude's Doxology (9 of 9)
Series: Kept

Jude 24-25
INTRO: Take your Bibles one last time this morning and be finding your place at the little letter - the tiny tract - of Jude, if you will. Today we come to the end of our study through this penultimate - this next to the last - book in the New Testament.
I really hope that you have enjoyed and benefited from this series of studies as much as I have. I don't know about you, but as we've gone through the book of Jude, and as we've studied these verses I know that:

As a matter of fact when God began to move and saved and cleaned house at the church, he resigned and went and joined an Episcopal church. But, before he did he had a ritual that he made us do every Sunday morning. After the offering the organist would hit a chord, everybody in the pews would stand to their feet and begin to sing hymn number 668 - the Doxology. Everybody, that is, except two families who'd moved to Milan from California. They would remain seated and silent. They wouldn't stand and sing. They were registering their disapproval of what they considered to be nothing more than meaningless ritual and worthless routine and not rea ...
