(Part 3 of 4)



“I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper
and ink.” –2 John 12a (NIV)
(Not only was he an apostle but was a tight wad as well..........lol......out of the mouth of Pastor Tim........if he had something to say he would rather go to them and say it rather than writing it)



Lessons from 2 John…

1. Never let _____YOUR PAST_____stop God from doing new things in your future.



“And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but
one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one
another.” –2 John 5 (NIV)

MARK 3:17 (got thunder nickname)
MARK 10:41(John doesnt get along well sometimes)


[54] “When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked,
‘Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy
them?’ [55] But Jesus turned and rebuked them.” –Luke 9:54-55 (NIV)

We all have things from our past that need to stay in our past......
We dont need to stay in our past though we need to move on..........
You dont have to stay the way you are, with Jesus your life can change.....you can become something you never dreamed you could become.......



2. _____STAY ON TRACK______in your faith.

[7] “Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as
coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world.(False teachers are denying that Jesus came from Heaven ....John 1:14)
Any such
person is the deceiver and the antichrist. [8] Watch out that you
do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be
rewarded fully.” –2 John 7-8 (NIV)




How do you stay on track?

a._____BELIEVE IT_____________________:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
eternal life.” –John 3:16 (NIV)


b._______LIVE IT________________:

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his
life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our
brothers.” –1 John 3:16 (NIV)

If you truly love it is going to cost you something.......sacrifice........



3. ____SUPPORT_______God’s work.

[10] “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching,
do not take him into your house or welcome him. [11] Anyone
who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.” –2 John 10-11 (NIV)
