title: #19 Hospitality

date: August 12, 2018

teacher: Jacob Bender

scriptures: 3 John, Mark 10:37, Matthew 5:5, Isaiah 32:8, 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Hospitality changed my life, and it changed the life of every person that came to Christ through the ministries God has used me to be a part of. We are who we are because someone good believed in us enough to take risk on us. Any time you do something to help someone else get a foot forward in their life or their ministry, you are doing it at a cost to yourself. 

But it is worth it. Every single time.

title: #18 “Mouth to Mouth”

teacher: Jacob Bender

date: August 5, 2018

scriptures: 2 John, 3 John 13-14, Proverbs 18:1, Ecclesiastes 4:10b

The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth, because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: 

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love. 

I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.

Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him stakes part in his wicked works. 

Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete. 

The children of your elect sister greet you.
