To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “Dear Friends” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Ask learners to pair up to finish as indicated. After about 10 minutes, bring the class back together to discuss their findings.
Lead into the lesson by saying, “It is good to be able to recognize when a good leader has our best interests at heart. Jude’s words in our lesson today encourage us to remember what we know of God and to remain true to him.”
To encourage personal application:
Distribute the “Build Yourselves Up” exercise from the activity page to facilitate creating a plan for implementing Jude 20-21. Pray for the learners as you wrap up class time.
