    Loved In Truth Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 27, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,922 views

    Christians are taught to love one another. However, what is it that causes us to love one another? How shall we love? John gives us a glimpse of the love we are to have in this brief letter to a man named Gaius.

    “The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no ...read more

    Dealing With The Preacher-Eaters

    Sons of Diotrephes will arise among the churches. The people of God are responsible to recognise their presence and to expose their evil work.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    The Cowboy Postcard

    In the old silent movies you could tell the good guys by their white hats and the villains by their black hats. There are two "good guys" and one "bad guy" in this short postcard. This Bible study examines them and their character.

    The Cowboy Postcard Series: New Testament Postcards Chuck Sligh January 27, 2013 TEXT: Please turn in your Bibles to 3 John INTRODUCTION We have a tendency to look at the past through rose-tinted glasses.

    Some people will change when they see the light. Others change only when they feel the heat. Change is an odd thing - everyone wants to change, but few actually do.

    “Ch.Ch.Ch.Ch.Changes” 3 John After watching sales falling off for three straight months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel called the Pope and asked a favor. ''I need you to change the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily ...read more

    Response To The Truth Series

    We are to love and live the truth.

    There is something about brevity that makes a message all that more emphatic. I was pacing up and down a hallway outside a delivery room on April 16, 1976. I was trying to be calm and collected, but I acted more like a caged lion. Suddenly a big door swung open and a gowned nurse was holding ...read more

    Tweets From God (Part 4: 3 John) Series

     | 3,415 views

    If God had a Twitter account, what would he tweet? The Bible contains five short, one-chapter books. In the fourth, 3 John, we are introduced to three types of people you might meet at church: a joy, a jerk, and a jewel.

    Tweets from God: 3 John Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/5/2016 A few weeks ago I began a series I’m calling Tweets from God. What we’re doing is going through the five shortest books of the Bible. Each of these books is a single chapter and can be read in less than three ...read more

    Perverting God's Grace (2)

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,252 views

    God has poured immeasurable grace on his church. This grace should not be abused by church leaders. Pride in the house of God has led many to pervert the grace of God. God is not pleased.

    TEXT: 3 JOHN 1:9-11 (NIV) "I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us.So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops ...read more

    Be careful of the “Just Us Club!” Be careful of any ministry that is designed for “Just Us.” We must welcome the Christian stranger, not welcome weird doctrine but believers with genuine hospitality!

    “I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen & ink. I hope to see you soon so we will talk face to face.” V3 – Walking in Truth (The Beloved Gaius - indeed you are walking in the truth) I want to talk to you Face to Face to tell you about my prayer that all is well with ...read more

    Third John 11-15 shows us how a consistent Christian and a caring Christian live.

    Scripture This is the concluding message of our study in the Apostle John’s letters that I am calling “That You May Know That You Have Eternal Life.” John wrote three letters toward the end of the first century. He was responsible for the churches around Ephesus. He loved the believers in the ...read more

    Again, I want to bring to your attention the fact that second and third John are very small books,

    but to say they were insignificant would be like saying a person who is short is not significant. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. However, there is a contrast between second and third John. For example, Remember, we mentioned in the previous message that some ...read more

    Where is our hospitality? Are we a Diotrephes or a Demetrius?

    Three Men And A Church – Now What Is The Result? – 3rd Letter Of John Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 24, 2024
     | 1,027 views

    The Apostle John wrote to his close friend Gaius, and in this short letter we read of a close friend, a wicked man, and an excellent example of a Christian testimony. They are the three men in this letter. I hope you find this instructive.

    THREE MEN AND A CHURCH – NOW WHAT IS THE RESULT? – 3rd LETTER OF JOHN Here are three glimpses of a church that could be any church but it is specific to the little group where Gaius was fellowshipping. We are going to look at three men mentioned in John’s letter to that church synonymous to ...read more
