Darin SmithGUEST
Well, I invite your attention this morning, if you have your Bible with you, to 3 John.
Darin SmithGUEST
That is the third last book of the Bible.
Darin SmithGUEST
And if you do not have a Bible with you, there should be one under the chair if you need one.
Darin SmithGUEST
On the back of these sheets is also the fall, the rest of the fall, where we're going to be preaching.
Darin SmithGUEST
And I'll just give that to you very quickly.
Darin SmithGUEST
We're finishing up 3 John today.
Darin SmithGUEST
We'll have hopefully an encouraging sermon next week on 1 Corinthians 15, 58.
Darin SmithGUEST
And then in two weeks, just want to make note of this as well.
Matt WhitmanHOST
And John writes against that in 1 John.
Matt WhitmanHOST
He hints at calling it out in 2 and 3 John as well.
Matt WhitmanHOST
This was the early heretical enemy of the Christian faith and of a right understanding of God.
Matt WhitmanHOST
And so now here John is writing a gospel after the other three gospels have been in circulation probably for a good chunk of time.
James EarlyHOST
This is almost always disastrous.
James EarlyHOST
There's a good example of this in 3 John.
James EarlyHOST
I've never really given much attention to this passage, and I don't even know for sure how to pronounce this guy's name.
James EarlyHOST
But it's a good example of what I'm talking about.
James EarlyHOST
This is 3 John 1, 9 and 10.
James EarlyHOST
John says, I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us.
James EarlyHOST
So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.
Eloy HuertaHOST
I'm going to show you something.
Eloy HuertaHOST
We can go to 3 John 2 if you want.
Eloy HuertaHOST
I just want to tell you, God wants you blessed in everything that you do.
Eloy HuertaHOST
He wants you to prosper.
Eloy HuertaHOST
And what it is, and the reason I wrote that is because what we have to do as Christians is know that God wants me blessed.
Eloy HuertaHOST
He doesn't want me poor.
Eloy HuertaHOST
It says... 1488, 3 John 2.
Eloy HuertaHOST
My dear friend, I pray that everything may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as I know you are well in spirit.
Bill JohnsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's monitoring our inner world and watching how it reshapes our outer world.
Bill JohnsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now that's why in 3 John 2 it says, may you prosper, so that's money, and be in good health, which is your physical condition, may you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers.
Bill JohnsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So he's announcing there that your internal world will actually affect your money, your income will affect your health.
Bill JohnsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
when the bible says laughter is good medicine it actually means if you look it up in the original language it actually means laughter is good medicine it actually means here's some medicine laugh well i i want it to be real well laugh till it is It's not complicated.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
The quality of your soulical health.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
The Bible says it in 3 John.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
John has only one chapter.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
The 3 John 1 now and verse 2.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
It says, Beloved, I wish above all things.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Are we still together? That ye prosper.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
And be in help.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Third John.
William StevesHOST
Maranatha, friends, the Lord is coming.
William StevesHOST
3 John, verses 9 and 12.
William StevesHOST
I wrote unto the church, but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
William StevesHOST
Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself.
William StevesHOST
Yea, and we also bear record, and ye know that our record is true.
William StevesHOST
3 John makes reference to these two men, Diotrephes and Demetrius.
William StevesHOST
The contrast could not be greater.
William StevesHOST
Diotrephes, we are told, loves to have the preeminence, so he will not allow the apostle John even to come and visit the church.
Will ReitzHOST
When you read either of the Thessalonians, you realize that Paul and the church are wrestling with the idea of the second coming of Christ, a fancy word we call eschatology, the study of the end times.
Will ReitzHOST
But in these books, Hebrews, James, 1st, 2nd Peter, 1st, 2nd, 3rd John, and Jude, they're not really... speaking to what's specifically going on in a specific church.
Will ReitzHOST
They'll have topics, of course, but they're not trying to address what's happening in a specific church.
Will ReitzHOST
They're addressing what they're seeing across lots of churches.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
Hold your place here.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
Go to 3 John, 3 John, 3 Epistle of John.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
This was covered in a couple of missions conferences ago, I believe.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
Two or three missions conferences back.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
3 John, and look at verse 5.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
So John is writing to the well-beloved Gaius, and he says in verse 5, And these are not people that are strange.
Jeremy StibbardGUEST
They're just believers that aren't in the church right there.
Enoch Adejare AdeboyeHOST
So now, just let me do the remaining half.
Enoch Adejare AdeboyeHOST
What is the priorities of God concerning you? Third John, the only book of Third John, the only chapter rather, verse 2.
Enoch Adejare AdeboyeHOST
It is written, Beloved, and that's God talking about me.
Enoch Adejare AdeboyeHOST
Beloved, I wish above all things.
