In the third week of "Don't Tread on Thee," we delve into the stark contrast between promiscuous grace embraced by culture and the bold stand for truth as followers of Jesus. The Scripture from Jude 5-11 highlights God's saving grace from Egypt and subsequent destruction of those who didn't believe, emphasizing the importance of living in truth.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help us to grasp the significance of living in your truth after experiencing your grace. Guide us in our daily pursuit of aligning our lives with your Word. Help us stand firm in truth amidst the challenges of the world. Amen.
