COMMON CHRISTIANITY

JUDE 1-3

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. WE [Bible-believing Christians] HAVE SOMEONE IN COMMON

1. We Have God  our Father in Common [Colossians 1:1-2]

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2. We Have Christ our Saviour in Common [1 Timothy 2:5, 2 Peter 1:1]

-For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

- Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

3. We Have the Holy Ghost our Comforter [John 14:16, 26; 15:26, 16:7]

-And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

-But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

-But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

-Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

 

II. WE [Bible-believing Christians] HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

1. We Have a Common Salvation [Jude 3]

2. We Have a Common Faith [Jude 3]

3. We Have a Common Mission [Jude 21-23]

 

III. WE [Bible-believing Christians] HAVE SOMEPLACE IN COMMON

1. We Have the Throne of Grace [Hebrews 4:14-16]

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

2. We Have The Kingdom of Heaven [Matthew 8:11]

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

3. We Have the Father’s House [John 14:1-6]

-Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

- Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
