    Dealing With Diotrephes

    Contributed by David Wilson on Feb 17, 2011
     | 11,580 views

    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

    Diotrephes was a trouble maker trying to run the church. Paul tells Gaius he will deal with him when he comes. Peace is possible in spite of those who love to be first.

    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

    A sermon examining the command to imitate what is good.

    IMITATE GOOD, NOT EVIL 3 John 1:9-15 You have probably heard the phrase "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"; this means that when someone copies another person, it shows they admire that person's actions or qualities enough to want to replicate them. I would ...read more

    If Jesus is not in control of your church it is not a church. It is a religious club often managed by a Diotrephes.

    3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, ...read more

    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

    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

     | 1,440 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.

    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

    Why? It could be because it is a small book. Illus: But we need to remember that “Dynamite” can come in small package. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance.
