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.

The Seven Churches #5
Rev 3:7-22. Suffering for trials and testing. God provides an open door and asks us to go through. Church of Philadelphia - The ideal church. Hour of trial - a time before the rapture of the church for refining and purifying God's people(believers). Rev 3:10; 1Th 5:9-10; 2Ti 3:1-9. Overcomer; Cowboy churches of today meet in barnes. Church of Laodicea - The lukewarm church. Fear equates to False Evidence Appearing Real.
