IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Psalm 6 - A Cry For Mercy

Psalm 6 - A Cry For Mercy

Waiting for the Messiah is a time of suffering. David expresses repentance in Psalm 6, 32 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143. Outline: (1) Cry for mercy (Psa 6:1-3, Heb 10:10); (2) Abandonment (Psa 6:4-6); (3) Assurance of prayer effectiveness (Psa 6:7-10). David pleads with God that He not chasten him in anger. We may feel this way, but God only disciplines in love (Heb 12:5-6, Job 3:13-19). Fear has an effect on the body (Psa 6:2-3). In Psa 6:4 David asks to be delivered based on His promises (Exo 34:7-8, Heb 13:5-6). In Psa 6:5 David calls on God with rationale that death would diminish God's glory. David expresses tremendous grief (Psa 6:6-7). The Holy Spirit comforts us and we have peace if we trust His promises (Psa 6:8-9, 1Jo 5:14-15, Psa 50:15, Rom 10:13). David asks that enemies be put to shame, that they be defeated (2Th 1:6-8). Deliverance of the believer is the destruction of the unbeliever (Psa 6:10). God's disciple is (a) motivated by love, (b) is only for His children, (c) will increase if it's despised or taken lightly, (d) is to be submitted to with hope, and (e) will result in purification (Heb 12:5-11).
