The Epistle of 2nd John
by Harley Howard
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; This epistle is very similar to 1st John. The elect lady more than likely refers to a church body that John was very familiar with and loved dearly. Her children obviously refer to the saints. These saints were not only loved by John but by all the saints, and notice that John makes it clear that those who are saints love and know the truth. 2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ...
2 John: Walking in the Truth (26 of 29)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Some of you will remember the scene from the movie ''A Few Good Men.'' The 1992 film stared Tom Cruise as a rookie military lawyer who has to defend a squad of marines accused of murder. They claimed they were acting on orders. Jack Nicholson plays a tough guy marine officer. One climactic scene has Nicholson on the stand being interrogated by the Cruise character. Cruise is getting nowhere and finally yells, ''I want the truth!'' The Jack Nicholson character shouts back. ''You can't handle the truth!'' [Herbert Agar Leadership, Vol. 17, no. 2.] 2 John is for those who can handle the truth. 2 John, the next book in our...
2 John
by Jerry Vines
I want us to study what may be the most neglected book in the entire New Testament. I've never heard a sermon on II John. I've taught it a few times in my own teaching through the Word of God. I believe there is a real message from God for our hearts in the little book of II John. John has three letters in the New Testament. I< II< III John. John wrote five of the books of your New Testament. There is the Gospel of John, the three letters of John and then there is the Revelation which was written by John. In the writings of John the entire Christian life is encompassed. The Gospel point to the past and speaks to us of our salvation...
A Special Letter to a Special Lady (13 of 14)
by Daniel Rodgers
This letter was written shortly after 1 John. Some think John may have written from Ephesus. His letter is a personal letter addressed to a personal friend. He refers to her as the elect lady. The letter is also addressed to her children as well. There are only thirteen verses in II John, so we'll have time to cover them all this evening. Consider with me three things: I. John's Greeting II. John's Rejoicing III. John's Warning I. JOHN'S GREETING A. His recipients 1. John obviously had a loving relationship with this dear lady and her children. It was a spiritual love-a godly love, the kind of love we have in Christ. When a person becomes saved-when he is born again, he is born into God's holy....
The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth (2 of 5)
by Chris Brown
In his second letter, John repeats his command that we should love one another. He goes on to say, ''this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.'' To love means we obey the commands that tell us how to treat each other. There are more than 30 commands in the New Testament on how we're to treat ''one another.'' Below are a few of them. After reading each verse below, identify the ''one another'' command in each one.Looking back on these verses as a whole, what general observations can you make about them? Which of these commands do you think you need to give special attention to in terms...
Guard What You Have Obtained
by Zach Terry
Turn if you would to the shortest book in your bible the book of 2nd John. It's right after 1st John and right before 3rd John, but you are a bright group so I expect you have already figured that out. SERIES INTRODUCTION: We are launching a series through the shortest books of the New Testament; we are calling the series Subscribing to Truth. The Apostles maintained a relationship with the Christians in the churches they planted in various areas through a steady stream of letters, through which the lead and coached the congregation in the truth. In much the same way that we attempt to coach you through the week...
2 John - How to Detect a Phony
by Stan Coffey
Both human experience and biblical evidence tell us that there are many ''religious'' groups that claim to be Christian in nature when in fact they are not. Jesus warned us about ''wolves in sheep's clothing.'' One of the reasons we know we are in the last days is the fact that there are so many false cults who have multitudes who adhere to their teachings. These false cults are themselves a sign that the coming of our Lord is near. In Matthew 24 Jesus gave as the very first sign of the end times that ''many would come in my name and deceive many.'' Over the past twenty years cults such as the Mormons have had exponential growth, not....
The Devil's Target: Our Homes!
by Ernest Easley
Tonight .. we are back in our series of messages on the 5 one-chapter books of the Bible! They are like emails: short and to the point! Perhaps that's why they are overlooked and neglected. Yet ... they are as inspired by God as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John! We began with the first and only one chapter book in the Old Testament: the book of Obadiah! It was there that we learned about the Mother of all Sins. And of course that would be the sin of PRIDE. Proverbs 13.10, "By pride comes only contention (strife that divides and disrupts)." Behind every argument .. every divorce .. every church conflict is PRIDE. No wonder...
Life Inside The Walls
by Jerry Vines
Don't get too alarmed when you see that long list of names in the chapter. I promise not to be more than about one minute per verse and there aren't but 73 verses in that chapter. In the building industry there is a term that is sometime used beneficial occupancy. As I understand it, beneficial occupancy refers to that stage when the project is completed and it is now time to move in. That project has achieved beneficial occupancy it is ready to be occupied. When you come to Nehemiah 5 God gives us beneficial occupancy. The wall has been completed in a miraculous manner; it is now time for the people to gather in and fill up...
Faith That Walks: Enoch
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST has appealed to each of us to take up our cross and follow Him. He wants us to enter upon the path of service and walk by faith not sight. In every era that have been those, he has trusted to do so. Enoch is the second example summoned in the roll call of faith. I.HIS WILL "By faith..." At the age of 65 Enoch began his walk of faith. He continued it for 300 uncompromising hears (Genesis 5: 21 - 24). Bible revelation is progressive. The building of the faith as demonstrated by Able in worship the logical progression is the right walk. Adam and Eve walked with God, but their sin disrupted their walk...
