LifeChange Series - 2 Peter & Jude

Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like Christ.
This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan.
The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness through a life-changing encounter with God's Word. You'll benefit in these important ways:
You'll gain a firm understanding of the book its historical context, purpose, structure and meaning;
You'll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working through;
You'll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own -- so you can keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.

2 Peter & Jude
The early church had learned how to deal with persecution from outside the community, but needed help defending themselves against those who would destroy their community from the inside. Differences within the community were not uncommon -- but the church was facing those who purposely distorted the gospel for their own gain. Peter and Jude denounce these false teachers, encouraging their readers to stand firm in the faith, holding to the promise that Jesus would someday return.
