    The Divisive And The Godly Minister

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 13, 2012
     | 6,556 views

    This is the very reason that this 3rd letter of John was written. There was a divisive leader in the church who was causing serious problems. In writing, John covers the traits of the divisive leader and he tells us how to handle him.

    A divisive leader is one of the most serious problems to ever confront a church. When a church has within its ranks a divisive leader, the very life and ministry of the church are threatened. A divisive leader always carries a church through one of its most traumatic experiences. He usually ...read more

    When we started reading the Gospel of John we come across and see that John wrote this as an evangelistic work. His purpose and goal in writing this account was so that people would come to faith and believe in Jesus.

    Looking beyond your situations (Ungal Sulnaliki appal parunikal) Psalm 130 1. John: 5:1-11 2. 1 John 5:4-5 Our circumstances can drive and direct our life, unless we learn to live above them.

    Peter and John before the Sanhedrin provide an example of how the child of God is to respond to pressure from the world to conform to low expectations.

    “When [the guards] had brought [Peter and John before the council], they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, ‘We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood ...read more

     | 2,751 views

    In John 3 and John 4, John's writings show us how Jesus' gifts were widespread and not limited to who we are; what we are; how much we have; or what we believe our value us. To our Lord, we are all the same and He offers, freely, to us all

    The Apostle John (also known as Saint John) was one of Jesus Christ’s 12 disciples, and a prominent leader in the early Christian church.

    The Bible talks less about what makes a great leader than it does about what makes a great servant. What is it about God's leaders that requires them to be servants of others?

    Today we are putting a man's name into consideration as a future Elder. I hadn't actually planned a sermon on Eldership (the sermon series I'm preaching through is something I'm working with other preachers on) but the text seemed to be a good groundwork for understanding what ...read more

    Have you ever wished that God would show Himself to you? Did you know that He already has? We’ll see that in our passage today as we look at the prologue to John’s gospel.

    Do you ever wonder what it must be like to see God? I’ve heard it said that for us to try to see God in His fullness and completely describe Him would be like a germ trying to describe the universe. In and of Himself, God is completely incomprehensible to man. In His eternal three-in-one ...read more
