1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,320
This is living. 
Waters of Grace, the teaching 

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,920
ministry of Lewis Harold, 
assistant pastor of Calvary 

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,560
Chapel of Westmoreland County in
Greensburg, PA. 

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,520
Now here's Pastor Lewis as he 
continues teaching through God's

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:39,380
Word. 
We're not exempt in any way. 

6
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:44,500
Sometimes we can be spots in a 
love piece. 

7
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:49,540
Sometimes we can cause people to
stumble with our behavior. 

8
00:00:49,540 --> 00:00:52,700
Sometimes we can be like clouds 
without water. 

9
00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:59,980
Sometimes we can not have fruit 
or not show fruit in our lives. 

10
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:06,160
But again, God is warning us and
saying in the later times these 

11
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,000
things are going to be so. 
Have you ever attended a church 

12
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,120
service and felt as though the 
pastor's message was speaking 

13
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080
directly to you? 
That is the conviction of the 

14
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Holy Spirit at work in your 
life, guiding you to hear what 

15
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,400
you were meant to embrace. 
Today, Pastor Lewis wants to 

16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,440
remind you that even with the 
teachings of the Bible are 

17
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,720
challenging to digest, it is 
God's way of inviting you to 

18
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,520
reflect on your own life and 
realign yourself with him. 

19
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,760
So take the time to listen, 
examine your heart, and trust 

20
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,920
that God is always there ready 
to guide you back to Him. 

21
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Now here's Pastor Lewis in the 
book of Jude chapter 1 as he 

22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,680
continues his message apostates 
describe. 

23
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,080
They have motives that are 
ungodly. 

24
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,760
They're looking at the opposite 
sex in ways that they should not

25
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,760
because it's not their wives. 
They're looking at ways to take 

26
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,680
advantage, to be able to get 
more for themselves. 

27
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,759
And so when he says here that 
they're only serving, they do it

28
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,200
without fear. 
They do it without reverence of 

29
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,960
God. 
They come among us without 

30
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,560
reverence of God, without 
respecting who God is, without 

31
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:25,440
having to all of God, not even 
fearful of the consequences of 

32
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,640
their of their behavior, of 
their hearts and conditions of 

33
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,760
their hearts. 
And they're serving only 

34
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,520
themselves. 
The Bible says that a pastor is 

35
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,440
supposed to feed the flock, but 
they serve themselves. 

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,120
They're not really looking to 
give you the truth of God's 

37
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Word. 
They're looking to give you what

38
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:49,520
will deceive you into giving 
more to them, get you to follow 

39
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,680
a doctrine that is Antichrist, 
to lead you away from the truth,

40
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,920
to lead us away from the truth. 
And then I'm going to go to the 

41
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,600
next one. 
It says that they are clouds 

42
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,320
without water, carried about by 
the winds, The clouds without 

43
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,440
water, meaning that they are 
they, you know, they give the 

44
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,200
threat of rain. 
We don't have these kind of 

45
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,840
clouds until lately. 
We've been getting a lot of 

46
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,320
water here. 
Greensburg. 

47
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720
But he's saying here that there 
are clouds without water. 

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,440
So it's like they, it's like a 
farmer, a farmer. 

49
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200
One of the worst things for them
is like when they're desperate 

50
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,040
for rain for their crops, one of
the worst thing for them is look

51
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,040
up in the sky and see a cloud 
that looks like it could bring 

52
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,720
rain, looks like it could 
promise rain, but then it blows 

53
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,720
away and nothing ever happens. 
They don't have their crops 

54
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,360
watered. 
It's the worst thing that can 

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,640
happen. 
It's the worst thing that can 

56
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,000
happen for a church to have 
someone teaching or preaching 

57
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,240
that gives the promise that 
they're going to give an A 

58
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,800
nourishing word, a word that's 
going to refresh, a word that's 

59
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840
going to really speak to our 
spirit. 

60
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,280
And then it doesn't. 
It speaks to the flesh instead. 

61
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,519
We don't leave refreshed. 
We leave even more heavy because

62
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,120
he just talked about all the 
things that he has that we don't

63
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,640
talk about how to get things 
that we can attain all things of

64
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,880
the flesh, not really speaking 
to our spirit. 

65
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,160
We need the water. 
We need the water to refresh us.

66
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,520
You know, Jesus told Jesus told 
the the woman at the the well. 

67
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,480
He told her, he said, you know, 
if you knew the kind of person 

68
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,160
that was here, you knew who was 
here in front of you, you would 

69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,360
be asking me for water because I
would give you water that leads 

70
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,920
to everlasting life. 
But if you have someone that 

71
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,080
doesn't bring, that doesn't have
substance in what it is that 

72
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,480
they're teaching because it's 
not coming from the word of God,

73
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,640
then we're thirsty. 
We're left thirsty. 

74
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,920
We're left leaving wanting to be
refreshed and not. 

75
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,760
And Jude is saying be careful of
men who act like they're going 

76
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,880
to bring refreshing, A 
refreshing word and don't be 

77
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,440
careful of that. 
And then he goes on here and he 

78
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,320
and he talks about the autumn 
trees. 

79
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,800
He says they're like late autumn
trees without fruit, twice dead,

80
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,800
pulled up by the roots, laid 
autumn trees. 

81
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,000
And just as false teachers or 
clouds that fail to produce 

82
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,320
water, likewise they also fail 
to produce fruit in their own 

83
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,160
lives. 
They can't give us the word of 

84
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,840
God that will cause us to 
produce fruit. 

85
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,920
And we're supposed to be trees 
that produce fruit as 

86
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Christians, as believers in 
Isaiah 61 and three, he said 

87
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,120
that we are trees of 
righteousness, the planting of 

88
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,760
the Lord, that he might be 
glorified. 

89
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,520
God is glorified by the fruit of
our lives. 

90
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,680
And if I'm, if we are a, a, a 
Christian or believer that 

91
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,360
doesn't have fruit, then God is 
not glorified. 

92
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,920
And John 15, Jesus also spoke 
when he talked about himself 

93
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,560
being a true vine. 
He says if you abide in me and I

94
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,120
in you, you will have much 
fruit, much fruit. 

95
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,160
But without me you can do 
nothing. 

96
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,680
And that's true. 
Without Him we can do nothing, 

97
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,560
and without His word we can do 
nothing. 

98
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,760
We can do nothing. 
We need the word of God. 

99
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,280
We need it. 
Men do not live by bread alone, 

100
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,240
but by every word that proceeds 
from the mouth of God. 

101
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,040
That is the true manner that 
comes from heaven that nurtures 

102
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,560
us and feeds us. 
And he is the water he brings us

103
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,640
the water that comes from 
heaven. 

104
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,120
And and, and Isaiah, he said, 
you know, just as the water 

105
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,400
comes down from the heavens and 
it doesn't return back there, 

106
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,040
but that it nourishes the ground
where it it, it, it waters the 

107
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:32,560
ground and it brings forth the 
bud and that bud becomes seed 

108
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:40,160
and bread it produces. 
He said, so as my word, that 

109
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,840
comes forth out of my life, my 
word. 

110
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,840
So that is what brings the 
refreshing. 

111
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,680
That's what brings the fruit. 
That's what brings production is

112
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,880
his word, his word, not mine. 
I could stand up here all day 

113
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,920
long and give you a bunch of 
stories that sounds interesting,

114
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,040
but then you leave and somebody 
said, OK, but what did he 

115
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,480
preach? 
I don't know, but man, was he 

116
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,480
something. 
He was funny. 

117
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,520
OK, good. 
But what did he think? 

118
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,800
I don't know. 
That doesn't do us any good. 

119
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,520
That's not why we gather. 
We gather to hear the word of 

120
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,560
God. 
We gather to be refreshed by the

121
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000
word of God. 
We gather to be transformed by 

122
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,440
the word of God. 
We don't gather for stories. 

123
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,120
And then he said they were trees
without fruit. 

124
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,360
Twice dead, twice dead. 
That means not only are they 

125
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,039
dead spiritually, but they're 
also going to be dead 

126
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,559
physically. 
They're twice dead and there's 

127
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,919
no connection, he said. 
It's pulled up by the roots. 

128
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,880
That means that these trees can 
never be connected. 

129
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,000
They're not connected to 
anything to ever have life. 

130
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800
They're not connected to the 
vine, and because they're not 

131
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,680
connected to the vine, they die.
Then he says they're raging 

132
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,840
waves of the sea, raging waves 
of the sea. 

133
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,320
It's a beautiful thing to be 
before the ocean. 

134
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,360
I think Clark right now is down 
there at the ocean. 

135
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,880
And I know that he loves looking
out at the sea and, and we lied,

136
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,520
you know, we, we love being at 
the ocean and looking at the 

137
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,280
water. 
I love looking at, at water 

138
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,080
anywhere. 
I like anybody of water, to be 

139
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840
honest with you looking at it. 
I'm not so crazy about getting 

140
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240
in it, but I do like to look at 
bodies of water. 

141
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,440
But the ocean is a very, it's a 
majestic thing to look at, you 

142
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,800
know, with the waves and the, 
and, and the way that it comes 

143
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800
right up to the shore and it's a
very majestic thing to look. 

144
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,480
It's very powerful thing to look
at. 

145
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,560
But when you see a, but when you
see the, the, the ocean, when 

146
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,520
you see the ocean when it's in a
storm could be a very scary 

147
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,520
thing. 
The waves are obviously a lot 

148
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,400
higher, does a lot more damage. 
It's more dangerous, you know, 

149
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,560
for those who are out in boats 
in it. 

150
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:59,160
Obviously it is. 
But the thing that Jude is 

151
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,640
talking about here is when he 
said if foaming up, he says 

152
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,920
foaming up their own shame. 
When you walk on the beach after

153
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,360
a storm, if you've ever walked 
on the beach after the storm, 

154
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,840
what you see is not pretty 
because the ocean brings up in 

155
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280
that storm. 
It brings up all that dirt, all 

156
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,080
that, all the garbage that was 
in the ocean, it now washes up 

157
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,400
on the shore and it's so dirty. 
In fact, you can't even go in 

158
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,640
the water. 
They tell you don't even go in 

159
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,440
the water for a while after a 
storm because it's so dirty. 

160
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,840
It's, it's, it's a bunch of mire
and, and, and, and filth. 

161
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:40,560
And a lot of that comes up on 
the shore. 

162
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,440
Well, this is what Jude is 
saying about false teachers. 

163
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:46,400
They said they rant and they 
wave and they and they give all 

164
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560
this, all this, you know, this 
message. 

165
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,760
And it's just like ways because 
it, it looks good. 

166
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,560
It sounds good, but the only 
thing they're doing is bringing 

167
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,400
up their own shame. 
They're talking about their own 

168
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,080
life and their flesh and, and 
the things that they're 

169
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,840
interested in. 
And none of those things are 

170
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,680
spiritual. 
It's just bringing up their own 

171
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,680
shame. 
In fact, another quote that I 

172
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:14,200
found that I really, really 
enjoyed and this comes from 

173
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,440
Warren Wheresby, he says the 
true teachers of the word bring 

174
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,480
up treasures from the deep. 
False teachers only produce 

175
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,040
refuse. 
That means waste, garbage, trash

176
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,160
and boast about what they should
be ashamed of. 

177
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,040
Do you remember time in your 
life when you boast about things

178
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280
that we pop that would now we 
are ashamed of them? 

179
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,360
I can remember that talking 
about things and boasting about 

180
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,360
things that I should have been 
ashamed of. 

181
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,320
If you think back in your life, 
maybe some of you can relate 

182
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,560
boasting about those things. 
Or sometimes false teachers do 

183
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:57,560
the exact same thing. 
They boast about things that 

184
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:02,520
they should be ashamed of, 
foaming up their own shame. 

185
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:08,480
Isaiah 57 and 20 says, But the 
wicked are like the troubled sea

186
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,040
when it it cannot rest, whose 
waters cast up mire and dirt, 

187
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,640
the false teachers, they're like
raging waves of the sea. 

188
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,560
And then he says here they're 
like wandering stars, for whom 

189
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,960
is reserved the blackness of 
darkness forever. 

190
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Wandering stars for who is 
reserved the blackness of 

191
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:42,880
darkness forever. 1 is to fix 
stars is a shipments or a 

192
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,200
mariner. 
You know, it's their dream to 

193
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,880
see the stars. 
They can navigate by the stars 

194
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,240
because they're fixed. 
They're there. 

195
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,040
They give you direction, they 
give you guidance. 

196
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,520
But wandering stars like 
shooting stars and different 

197
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,760
things that you see in the 
heavens that shoot and they, 

198
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,800
they fizz up and then they 
fizzle out. 

199
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,240
You don't see them anymore. 
They call falling stars or 

200
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,640
whatever. 
You, you know, they, they, they 

201
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,800
call them when you see them and 
then they fizzle out. 

202
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,240
They're saying that's the same 
thing as a false teacher. 

203
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,120
They come in with a lot of romp 
and rave and noise, but 

204
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,800
eventually they fizzle out and 
then they go somewhere else. 

205
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,720
They go somewhere else, they 
wander. 

206
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,560
They just leave, go to another 
group of people that haven't 

207
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:35,840
heard them yet. 
I know this message sometimes 

208
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,760
can come across as wow, this is 
a real condemning message, but 

209
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,040
it's the word of God. 
He's warning us and there's 

210
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,480
things in the Bible sometimes 
going to be really hard to hear,

211
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,000
but what we should do is be 
looking at ourselves. 

212
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,160
Is any of these things in me? 
We're not exempt in any way. 

213
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,280
Sometimes we can be spots in a 
love feast. 

214
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,320
Sometimes we can cause people to
stumble with our behavior. 

215
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560
Sometimes we can be like clouds 
without water. 

216
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,800
Sometimes we can not have fruit 
or not show fruit in our lives, 

217
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,960
but again God is warning us and 
saying in the later times these 

218
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,600
things are going to be so. 
And so we look at verse 14 as we

219
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,320
get ready to come to a close. 
Here in verse 14 through 15 he 

220
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,560
says this. 
Now Enoch the 7th from Adam 

221
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,640
prophesied about these men also,
saying, Behold, the Lord comes 

222
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,440
with 10 thousands of his Saints 
to execute judgment on all who 

223
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,040
on all, to convict all who 
ungodly, who are ungodly among 

224
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,880
them, of all their ungodly deeds
which they have committed in an 

225
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,400
ungodly way, and of all the 
harsh things which ungodly 

226
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:10,240
sinners have spoken against him.
And verse 15, the word ungodly 

227
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:17,560
is mentioned 4 * 4 times. 
But the important thing is the 

228
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,520
fact that this book, this 
particular Scripture, talks 

229
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,640
about the coming judgement of 
those who are ungodly. 

230
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,120
Now, first of all, we got to 
deal with this whole Enoch thing

231
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,080
because Enoch is only mentioned 
in the Bible back in Genesis, 

232
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,440
chapter 5. 
OK, That's where he's mentioned.

233
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,720
And he's mentioned this 
interesting story. 

234
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,480
Enoch is from the line of Seth, 
You know, when men begin to call

235
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,680
on the Lord. 
That line, Enoch was a righteous

236
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,960
man, a very righteous man. 
In fact, in the Bible, in 

237
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Genesis 5, it talks about Enoch 
walking with God. 

238
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,200
And then he was no more. 
Enoch didn't see death. 

239
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,400
He didn't go through the doorway
of death the way many have. 

240
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:14,880
Enoch was just taken and it's 
such a picture of the church, of

241
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,240
the rapture, of the church. 
One day when we too will be 

242
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,800
taken, be taken out of here. 
I think about Isaiah 57 that 

243
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,480
says that the righteous man 
perish and no one takes it to 

244
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,040
heart that the righteous man are
taken away from the evil to 

245
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,240
come. 
Enoch was actually taken away 

246
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,200
before the great flood. 
He didn't have to worry about 

247
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,440
saying that. 
And the church one day will be 

248
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,000
raptured. 
And that's a picture of, I 

249
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,720
believe that's a foreshadow of 
the rapture of the church. 

250
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,000
But it but Enoch is it. 
It was a apocryphal book, which 

251
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,040
means that it was written 
outside of the Canon of 

252
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,480
Scripture. 
It's not a part of the 

253
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Scripture, the book that he has 
written or a book that is said 

254
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,800
that he has written because 
often times that these are 

255
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,760
prophetical books. 
The author of these books are 

256
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,440
not necessarily authenticated. 
So we don't really know whether 

257
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,400
Enoch was the one that actually 
wrote this book or not, but it 

258
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,280
does have. 
But there was a book that had 

259
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,000
prophecies called the Apocryphal
book of Enoch and it did have 

260
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,480
this particular quote in it. 
There's this non biblical 

261
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,480
prophetic source, but that's not
different. 

262
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:37,080
Paul himself also quoted non 
biblical poets and writers and 

263
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,360
his scriptures. 
He quoted it. 

264
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,400
In fact, one of the scriptures 
that we probably know very well 

265
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,240
was actually a quote from 
someone who was non biblical, 

266
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,560
and that's in Titus. 
I'm sorry that in First 

267
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Corinthians chapter 15, Paul 
quotes a a poet by the name of 

268
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,400
Menander and this was the quote.
You guys will recognize it. 

269
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,000
Evil company corrupts good 
habits. 

270
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,760
That was actually taken from a 
a, a a Greek writer, a Greek 

271
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:14,280
poet, even in the Acts 17 that 
when he was at Mars Hill, when 

272
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,720
he was beginning to talk with 
the minute Mars Hill about 

273
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:21,520
Christ, he he, he gave a quote 
where he says we are the 

274
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,440
offspring of God. 
He said even one of your own 

275
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,080
poets said that we are the 
offspring of God. 

276
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,280
That was a Athenian prophet or 
Athenian poet who said that. 

277
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,320
So there's been other times in 
the New Testament or other times

278
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,760
in the Bible where non biblical 
sources were quoted. 

279
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:46,160
However, God has purpose in 
putting these things in 

280
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,400
Scripture. 
None of these things that have 

281
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,240
not been contrary to Scripture 
and they've only proven what 

282
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,360
Scripture was already saying. 
So it wasn't like it was saying 

283
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,640
anything. 
It's no new truth. 

284
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:00,360
You know, they're not giving a 
new truth. 

285
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:02,560
They're not giving a new 
prophecy or anything like that. 

286
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,040
These things are already said. 
But here in this book, it says 

287
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,400
that, you know, he talks about 
these, you know, it is going to 

288
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,400
be coming. 
He's already prophesied in 

289
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,520
talking about how these men, 
these ungodly men, these, these 

290
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,400
false prophets and false 
teachers, how they are going to 

291
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,360
be judged. 
This is basically what this is 

292
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:25,160
saying, and it's the same thing 
that's been said all throughout 

293
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,400
the Scripture. 
And Judes thought it was 

294
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,200
necessary or helpful to put it 
in, but he's talking about him 

295
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,280
being ungodly and he mentions it
four times, you know, convicted 

296
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,560
who? 
All who are ungodly among them 

297
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,720
of all their ungodly deeds which
they have committed in an 

298
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:49,040
ungodly way, of all the harsh 
things which ungodly sinners 

299
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,040
have spoken against him, none of
those things go against 

300
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:55,760
Scripture. 
But it wasn't part of the 

301
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,240
original Canon of the Word of 
God. 

302
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,480
But yet we have it. 
We have it and you know. 

303
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,360
The truth of the matter is, is 
that we were all ungodly at one 

304
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:11,280
time. 
All of us were ungodly. 

305
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,480
In fact, the Bible says over in 
the book of Romans chapter 5, he

306
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,320
says that, you know, while we 
were still without strength, 

307
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Jesus came and died for the 
ungodly. 

308
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:31,840
He justifies the ungodly. 
So it was, you know, in fact, he

309
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,400
came, He came to, He came to 
earth for the ungodly. 

310
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,160
He didn't come for those who are
righteous. 

311
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Bible says he came to bring 
sinners to repentance. 

312
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,960
The ungodly. 
Ungodly simply means without 

313
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,120
God, without God in our speech, 
without God in our thoughts, 

314
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:55,320
without God in our actions. 
We were all at one time ungodly,

315
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,800
but because of Jesus Christ, 
because of His love, because of 

316
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,040
His mercy, and because of His 
grace, He justified the ungodly.

317
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,960
He justified us, and all we have
to do is believe on Him and He 

318
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,800
begins to change us from the 
inside out. 

319
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,520
And the fruit that we were 
talking about earlier, that 

320
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,080
fruit comes because we are 
connected with Jesus Christ and 

321
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,760
He brings fruit in our lives. 
It's the washing of the water, 

322
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,640
the washing of the water. 
We are cleansed by the Word of 

323
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,120
God. 
We are sanctified by the Word of

324
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:37,000
God. 
We're washed through the Word of

325
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,840
God. 
So I thank God today that we can

326
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,720
come to him in prayer. 
Even those of us who may still 

327
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,920
be without strength, we can 
still come to Him and we can 

328
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,040
repent of anything that we do or
are doing. 

329
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,960
And we know that the Word of God
is there for us, His grace is 

330
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:04,640
there for us, His forgiveness, 
His love is there for us to 

331
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,840
cleanse us and wash us from all 
our ungodliness and all of our 

332
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,720
uncleanness. 
I'm so happy about that. 

333
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,920
I'm so happy about that. 
So I pray that if there's 

334
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,960
anybody here today who may feel 
in their own hearts, they look, 

335
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,640
I'm ungodly and I'm not. 
I'm not good enough and my life 

336
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,240
is a mess. 
You don't know the kind of life 

337
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,840
that I live. 
You don't know the kind of sins 

338
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,120
that I commit. 
I just want to tell you, it 

339
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:40,480
really doesn't matter. 
It doesn't matter. 

340
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:46,440
He is here to cleanse you. 
He's here to save you. 

341
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:54,440
He's here to redeem you. 
He came for the ungodly, the 

342
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,120
unrighteous. 
And if you feel that my life has

343
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:02,760
just been a mess because I've 
tried to do it all on my own, 

344
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,440
but I want forgiveness of sins. 
I want to be forgiven. 

345
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,480
I want this Christian life. 
I want fruit in my life. 

346
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,920
I don't want to be controlled by
sin anymore in my life. 

347
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,960
I don't want my life to be 
controlled by the enemy anymore.

348
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,480
I want to give my heart to Jesus
Christ. 

349
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,560
He's not asking you to do 
anything outside of trust him, 

350
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,800
believe in. 
There's no list of do's and 

351
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,240
don'ts that He's going to give 
you. 

352
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,720
We're not going to give you a 
list of do's and don'ts because 

353
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,360
you get saved. 
The Holy Spirit comes into you 

354
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,320
when you the moment you believe,
the Holy Spirit comes into your 

355
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,800
heart, and He is the one who 
changes us, not men. 

356
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,440
You've been listening to Living 
Waters of Grace with Pastor 

357
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,440
Lewis Harrell at Calvary Chapel 
Westmoreland in Greensburg, PA. 

358
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,760
As Pastor Lewis continues to 
preach through the book of Jude,

359
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:13,560
he wants you to realize that you
can't be a part time Christian 

360
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,680
if you're going to follow Jesus.
He is going to ask for your 

361
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,720
undivided loyalty. 
If you try to serve your own 

362
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,440
interests while following Jesus,
you find that you can't do 

363
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,760
either one successfully. 
But if you run after Jesus with 

364
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,080
everything you have, you'll be 
amazed at how He provides for 

365
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,640
you and sustains you on the 
journey, even when you have no 

366
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,960
idea of where your provision 
will come from. 

367
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,880
