    In 14 verses John tells us things that no one else really expounds in the entire Bible. He talks about Christian hospitality. He talks about a man who opens his home lovingly, readily and willingly to see the work of the kingdom of God go forward.

    10 Characteristics Of Healthy Churches

     | 42,446 views

    The characteristics of a healthy church compiled from nine of the most significant church health studies to date.

    During the last 20 years there has been a tremendous focus on church growth. Unfortunately this has created a tendency to be more analytical than prescriptive, more quantitative than qualitative. Rick Warren writes in “The Purpose-Driven Church”; (Zondervan) "the key issue for churches in the ...read more

     | 4,264 views

    We look at three New Testament men--two good examples; one, bad.

    This third Epistle of John is a letter about three men. Their names are Gaius [GAY us], Diotrephes, and Demetrius. Two of the men stand in sharp contrast to the other one. Let’s look at these two first. I. GAIUS—the person to whom the epistle is addressed. A. Shown evidence in his life of the ...read more

    WALKING IN EXAMPLE 3 John 1:1-14 We live in a world where people are looking for “role models”. Unfortunately, many of these “role models” are “Movie Stars” and “Super Star Athletes” that model evil. (I do realize that not all “Movie Stars” and “Super Star Athletes” are evil.) The ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,246 views

    These are the last recorded words of John. One’s last words often tell us where his priorities were.

    John’s third letter is addressed to Gaius, "my dear friend." The central thought is found in verse eleven: "Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God." Imitate good people. Don’t imitate ...read more

    Get a prosperous soul and let God decide if your life will match it or be given something better.

    If you listen to many of the TV and radio preachers you would think that Christ is the dispenser of the American dream. Indeed, God’s throne seems to be a celestial Las Vegas where instead of spinning a wheel your prayers are like rolling dice. If you roll the right number God drops money, ...read more

    John writes a letter that commends his friend Gaius, encourages him, and assures him that the troublemaker Diotrephes would be dealt with.

    VERSES 1-2 FROM JOHN WITH LOVE Once again we have John addressing himself as the elder, which is more a title of authority than speaking of age. He addresses his letter to his dear friend Gaius and once again, as we saw in his gospel and his first two letter, emphasizes LOVE. He declares that ...read more

    3 John verse 11 echoes the words of John throughout his writings. We are called by Jesus Christ to leave sin and follow the truth.

    This morning our text is 3 John. Adam Clarke notes that we seldom hear 3 John quoted but in reproof of lordly tyrants, or prating troublesome fellows in the Church. He says that it has been the lot of both the minor prophets and the minor epistles to be generally neglected, because with many ...read more
