Brent Johnson taught on the 1 Chapter book of 3 John with a focus on being a good ambassador for

Christ. He started with some background:

Author: the elder (John)

Location: Ephesus

Date: A.D. 85-95, end of John’s life (50 years after resurrection)

Purpose: Commendation and Condemnation

Recipient: Gaius

Brent divided the lesson from John’s letter using three areas of focus:

Gaius

John loved Gaius in truth. Encouraged him to continue living and walking in the truth.

Diotrephes

Correct. Rebuke. Restore. Selfish. Ignores church leadership. All about me.

Demetrius

Imitates good. Encouragement in truth and love.

Points for home / Homework

Write notes to someone needing encouragement sharing Truth, Love & Peace.
