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.

Cross to the Crown #8

Six general Christian responsibilities stem from the works of Grace (Tit 2:11) -- Eternal Life (Rom 6:23, Tit 3:4); God's Grace appeared to teach us; in this God is often silent in our tests so we learn what to leave, how to live (righteously), and what to look for ("the blessed hope") and zealous for good works. (1) Every believer must engage in Bible study (1Ti 4:13; 1Ti 3:16); (2) Confession of sin -- key to fellowship (Pro 28:13); (3) Effective prayer (Eph 6:18, Jam 5:16); (4) Witnessing (1Pe 3:15); (5) Giving (2Co 9:7); (6) Fellowship and communion -- maintaining unity (Eph 4:1-7).

From Series: "The Cross to the Crown"

To get from 'the cross to the crown' we need to make decisions to live a life of spiritual dynamics using God's provisions -- His Word and Spirit. This series given in early 2006 before Gene moved back to the States outlines ten aspects of our discipleship.
