    As Others See Us

    John the Elder writes an appraisal of three church members: Gaius - who serves others, Diotrephes - who hinders others, and Demetrius - who attracts others.

    AS OTHERS SEE US The third letter of John is one of the shortest in the New Testament but it has much to say to us. It’s a warm and honest pastoral letter. A straight from the shoulder message from a pastor to his people. Where encouragement and commendation are ...read more

    The church leadership will determine the direction and spirituality of the church. Let’s pray that we have the right leaders in these last days.

    The Wonderful Church Leadership Sunday, August 19, 2007 – PM By Pastor Jim May 3 John 1-14 Have you ever wondered what kind of spiritual giants led the early churches?

    Since God is forever faithful to us, He desires for us to be faithful to Him and to others. A faithful person walks in the truth not matter what happens to him.

    Flourishing in Faithfulness Rev. Brian Bill 7/22/01 Someone asked me a couple weeks ago if the jokes I hear about Wisconsin offend me. I told him that I ask for it by bringing up “God’s Country” so often in my sermons. That reminds me of the man who decided to write a book about churches ...read more

    Don't imitate what is evil, but rather what is good. Even in the church and even in leadership we can find poor examples. We shouldn't walk after the example of men and women like Diotrephes. We should instead follow the example of men and women who exhib

    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

    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

    Gaius, A Man Who Helped Much

    As a church leader, your behavior often determines the growth of believers and whether or not the church has a dynamic ministry for Christ. THIS is what the letter of 3 John is all about, leadership within the church.

    As we continue our studies in the writings of the Apostle John, we begin to look into the book of 3 John. My plan is to spend just two studies in this book. It is believed that John the Apostle wrote this book or letter around 85-95 AD. It was written to a man named Gaius in order to warn ...read more

    Gaius was a believer who is commended by the Apostle John for two things that all believers should seek to have be true of them.

    In the book of Third John, we read a tale of three Christians - Gaius, who John commended; Diotrephes, who John saw as cantankerous; and Demetrius, who John cited as being consistent in His walk with Christ. John identifies himself here as “the elder,” which is a term that is used interchangeably ...read more

    John contrasts a God centered Christian with a self centered Christian.

    In the book of Third John, we read a tale of three Christians - Gaius, who John commended; Diotrephes, who John saw as cantankerous; and Demetrius, who John cited as being consistent in His walk with Christ.

    Jay Leno once said that the Christmas tree is the perfect houseplant for him because it is already dead. And that’s probably true for many of us. Growing house plants sometimes is hard work.
