    Dealing With Diotrephes

    Contributed by David Wilson on Feb 17, 2011
     | 11,551 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

    Developing and nurturing a defeatist attitude is something that we can’t afford to do. We can’t develop and nurture a defeated mind, because to do so will stop us from seeing and appreciating the blessings that God pours out upon His people.

    Seeing what’s happening around us, in other words, the conflicts and wars in the Middle East; the financial problems in Europe; and the financial problems here in the U.S., where the government is at the brink of a shut down, unemployment continues to grow, and foreclosures continue to ...read more

     | 17,781 views

    But you say, I didn’t do anything to deserve all this! Not one of us has ever did anything to deserve the goodness of God! It is only because of our relationship with Jesus that we are qualified to receive any of Gods Goodness towards us.

    Get in agreement with, “God’s word” Recently, I heard a story about this man that wanted to come to America. It was in the early 1900’s and at that time, it could only be done by ocean liner. The trip would take several weeks to complete and therefore the ticket was a lot of ...read more

    Setting a purpose for Christian living.

    Christians without goals are a little like Alice in the fairy tale ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

    No matter how bad we’d like to, we can’t undo the past. God is all-powerful but there are some things He won’t do. He will not change the past. But he’ll do something even better. Even though He won’t change the past, He will give you a fresh start for th

    Exploring the possibility of starting accountability groups in our church. What might they look like? How did John Wesley use them? Can they be used for spiritual growth or are they just "sin control" groups like AA?

    Video review of 2013 - (Photos from various church events set to the music of "Press On" by Selah) What a great review. Some events were missed but it looks like we’re a group of believers who love one another. What about our personal lives? What about our personal relationship with Jesus? ...read more
