  • Greg laurie: jesus christ is who i signed up to follow over 50
  • 00:00:05.495 --> 00:00:09.933
  • Years ago.
  • 00:00:10.066 --> 00:00:11.568
  • Jesus christ has never failed me.
  • 00:00:11.668 --> 00:00:12.235
  • Jesus christ has never been inconsistent or hypocritical or
  • 00:00:14.771 --> 00:00:19.242
  • Abandoned me.
  • 00:00:19.242 --> 00:00:20.577
  • He's kept all of his promises to me.
  • 00:00:20.577 --> 00:00:22.512
  • So regardless of what all y'all do, i'm staying with jesus and
  • 00:00:22.512 --> 00:00:27.383
  • Following him to the end, and that's what we all should do.

  • Greg: okay, so have you ever sent an email in anger?
  • 00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:02.619
  • Maybe you were upset with a coworker or even your boss so
  • 00:01:02.619 --> 00:01:06.823
  • You wrote them this email, and you were so angry, you were
  • 00:01:06.823 --> 00:01:10.894
  • Pounding the keys, you know, just, and then you hit send, you
  • 00:01:10.894 --> 00:01:14.097
  • Felt really good about it for about five minutes, and the
  • 00:01:14.097 --> 00:01:16.833
  • Adrenaline wore off, and you thought, "what have i done?"
  • 00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:20.370
  • And you found yourself googling, "how do i get my email back?"
  • 00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:24.607
  • That's not a good thing.
  • 00:01:24.607 --> 00:01:26.242
  • Or maybe you wrote a card or a note to someone and then you
  • 00:01:26.242 --> 00:01:29.412
  • Thought of something that you forgot to say, so on the bottom
  • 00:01:29.412 --> 00:01:32.715
  • You wrote "ps," postscript.
  • 00:01:32.715 --> 00:01:36.085
  • Well, that's really what we're looking at here in 2 and 3 john.
  • 00:01:36.085 --> 00:01:40.089
  • These are short little epistles.
  • 00:01:40.089 --> 00:01:42.392
  • Each one is one chapter long.
  • 00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:45.061
  • They're about the length of an email or a note, if you will,
  • 00:01:45.061 --> 00:01:49.199
  • And so, really, john is concluding this beautiful book
  • 00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:52.936
  • Of 1 john with these extra letters, and he's effectively
  • 00:01:52.936 --> 00:01:57.140
  • Saying, "ps, i love you."
  • 00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:00.343
  • Reminds me of a story of a young man whose father had died, and
  • 00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:05.014
  • He was going through his dad's belongings, and he came across
  • 00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:08.451
  • An envelope addressed to him that his dad had never sent with
  • 00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:11.754
  • A letter in it.
  • 00:02:11.754 --> 00:02:13.122
  • And at the end of it, it said, from his father, "ps, i
  • 00:02:13.122 --> 00:02:16.125
  • Love you."
  • 00:02:16.125 --> 00:02:17.460
  • And the son carried this around with him because when he would
  • 00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.029
  • Get discouraged and down, he would pull out that letter from
  • 00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:23.132
  • His dad that said, "ps, i love you."
  • 00:02:23.132 --> 00:02:25.768
  • Well, here we're being reminded of god's love for us in the
  • 00:02:25.768 --> 00:02:29.906
  • Epistles of 2 and 3 john.
  • 00:02:29.906 --> 00:02:32.175
  • Before we dive in, let me just quickly review some of the
  • 00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:35.945
  • Things we learned in 1 john.
  • 00:02:35.945 --> 00:02:38.548
  • 1 john was written to give assurance to believers,
  • 00:02:38.548 --> 00:02:41.951
  • Believers who were having doubts about their faith.
  • 00:02:41.951 --> 00:02:45.021
  • Have you ever doubted if you're really a christian?
  • 00:02:45.021 --> 00:02:48.057
  • Have you ever doubted your salvation?
  • 00:02:48.057 --> 00:02:50.827
  • Have you ever wondered, "do i know for sure i'm going to go
  • 00:02:50.827 --> 00:02:53.830
  • To heaven?"
  • 00:02:53.830 --> 00:02:55.164
  • Because you think, "how could a person who says they're a
  • 00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:58.201
  • Christian have just said the thing i just said?
  • 00:02:58.201 --> 00:03:01.704
  • How could a person who claims to be a christian have done the
  • 00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:04.540
  • Thing i just did?
  • 00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:06.542
  • Am i really a christian?"
  • 00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:08.511
  • Well, john was written, 1 john, rather, so you could know that
  • 00:03:08.511 --> 00:03:13.516
  • You have assurance of salvation.
  • 00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:15.551
  • He says in 1 john 5:13, "i've written this to you who believe
  • 00:03:15.551 --> 00:03:19.656
  • In the name of the son of god, so you may know that you have
  • 00:03:19.656 --> 00:03:23.259
  • Eternal life."
  • 00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:24.627
  • He didn't say, "so you may feel like you have eternal life."
  • 00:03:24.627 --> 00:03:28.231
  • Your salvation is not based on your feelings.
  • 00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:31.668
  • It's based on what christ did for you at the cross.
  • 00:03:31.668 --> 00:03:34.871
  • It's not based on what you do.
  • 00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:37.040
  • It's based on what he did.
  • 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:39.542
  • And the bible promises that god, who began a good work in you,
  • 00:03:39.542 --> 00:03:43.613
  • Will complete it unto the day of jesus christ.
  • 00:03:43.613 --> 00:03:46.716
  • You see, salvation is god's work from beginning to end.
  • 00:03:46.716 --> 00:03:51.120
  • He's the author and he's the finisher of your faith.
  • 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.957
  • I don't know about you, but sometimes i start projects i
  • 00:03:54.957 --> 00:03:57.827
  • Don't finish.
  • 00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:59.762
  • Like my office will get really cluttered, and i'll say, "it's
  • 00:03:59.762 --> 00:04:02.665
  • Time to clean the office," and i'll start sorting things out
  • 00:04:02.665 --> 00:04:07.103
  • And putting them in little piles, and i'm almost done
  • 00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:10.239
  • Putting everything in its proper place, but i'll just leave a few
  • 00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:13.376
  • Things out.
  • 00:04:13.376 --> 00:04:14.744
  • And then those turn into the new messes again.
  • 00:04:14.744 --> 00:04:17.380
  • So i don't always finish what i start.
  • 00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:20.249
  • Isn't it great that god finishes what he begins?
  • 00:04:20.249 --> 00:04:23.720
  • Can you imagine him saying, "i'm gonna save that person
  • 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.255
  • Right there.
  • 00:04:26.255 --> 00:04:27.623
  • I'm gonna transform them.
  • 00:04:27.623 --> 00:04:28.958
  • I'm gonna do an ama-- i'm done with them.
  • 00:04:28.958 --> 00:04:30.660
  • I'm moving on."
  • 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:31.994
  • Just wait, what--you know?
  • 00:04:31.994 --> 00:04:33.563
  • He completes what he starts, so your salvation is complete.
  • 00:04:33.563 --> 00:04:37.567
  • Now, john was writing to refute something called gnosticism that
  • 00:04:37.567 --> 00:04:42.805
  • Had gained traction.
  • 00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:44.774
  • And the gnostics believed that they had this secret knowledge
  • 00:04:44.774 --> 00:04:49.178
  • About god, and they were saying, "don't listen to these apostles.
  • 00:04:49.178 --> 00:04:52.815
  • Listen to us."
  • 00:04:52.815 --> 00:04:54.183
  • They didn't believe that jesus was an actual physical person
  • 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:57.854
  • Walking the earth.
  • 00:04:57.854 --> 00:04:59.222
  • They thought he was more like a phantom.
  • 00:04:59.222 --> 00:05:01.324
  • In fact, they even said when he would walk along the sand, you
  • 00:05:01.324 --> 00:05:04.394
  • Would not see any footprints, and john's saying, "that's
  • 00:05:04.394 --> 00:05:06.863
  • So lame."
  • 00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:08.231
  • This is what you need to believe if you're really a believer.
  • 00:05:08.231 --> 00:05:11.634
  • He says in 1 john 4:2, "if a person claiming to be a prophet
  • 00:05:11.634 --> 00:05:14.937
  • Acknowledges that jesus christ came in a real body, that person
  • 00:05:14.937 --> 00:05:19.308
  • Has the spirit of god."
  • 00:05:19.308 --> 00:05:20.676
  • In other words, john is saying no, you have to believe that
  • 00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:23.513
  • Jesus was actually god walking among us.
  • 00:05:23.513 --> 00:05:27.450
  • God became a man.
  • 00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:29.719
  • Man cannot become god, but god in this instance became a man,
  • 00:05:29.719 --> 00:05:35.258
  • Fully god and fully man, dying on a cross and bodily rising
  • 00:05:35.258 --> 00:05:41.464
  • Again from the dead and born of the virgin mary.
  • 00:05:41.464 --> 00:05:44.967
  • You need to believe all of these things to be a real christian.
  • 00:05:44.967 --> 00:05:49.839
  • So now we come to 2 john.
  • 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.176
  • Starting in verse 1, he writes, "the elder, to the elect lady
  • 00:05:53.176 --> 00:05:57.814
  • And her children, whom i love in truth, and not only i, but also
  • 00:05:57.814 --> 00:06:02.385
  • All those who have known the truth, because of the truth
  • 00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:05.755
  • Which abides in us and will be with us forever.
  • 00:06:05.755 --> 00:06:09.258
  • Grace, mercy, and peace be with you all from god the father and
  • 00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:13.463
  • From the lord jesus christ, the son of the father, in truth
  • 00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:18.334
  • And love."
  • 00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:20.570
  • I want you to underline those words, "in truth and love."
  • 00:06:20.570 --> 00:06:25.775
  • God wants us to walk in truth and love.
  • 00:06:25.775 --> 00:06:28.978
  • You really can't have one without the other.
  • 00:06:28.978 --> 00:06:32.048
  • In fact, in the first four verses of this short letter,
  • 00:06:32.048 --> 00:06:35.985
  • John uses the word "truth" five times.
  • 00:06:35.985 --> 00:06:40.323
  • You know, sometimes you meet people who walk in truth but not
  • 00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:43.926
  • In love, and i'm gonna use the word "truth" loosely there.
  • 00:06:43.926 --> 00:06:48.297
  • I'm gonna say they walk in their version of the truth.
  • 00:06:48.297 --> 00:06:53.002
  • They're people that tend to be nitpicky, you know, they cross
  • 00:06:53.002 --> 00:06:57.440
  • Their t's, they dot their i's.
  • 00:06:57.440 --> 00:06:59.475
  • They can often be legalistic.
  • 00:06:59.475 --> 00:07:01.277
  • They call it truth, but they use it sort of like a sledgehammer.
  • 00:07:01.277 --> 00:07:06.148
  • You need to walk in love as well.
  • 00:07:06.148 --> 00:07:08.184
  • These are the kind of people where if you're having a great
  • 00:07:08.184 --> 00:07:10.353
  • Burger, they'll come and quote a bible verse to ruin it.
  • 00:07:10.353 --> 00:07:14.757
  • You're taking your first bite, and they'll say, "love not the
  • 00:07:14.757 --> 00:07:17.093
  • World, neither the things that are in the world, for if any man
  • 00:07:17.093 --> 00:07:20.396
  • Loves the world, the love of the father is not in him, and all
  • 00:07:20.396 --> 00:07:22.932
  • That's in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
  • 00:07:22.932 --> 00:07:26.035
  • And the pride of life is not of the father, but of the world."
  • 00:07:26.035 --> 00:07:29.438
  • Oh.
  • 00:07:29.438 --> 00:07:31.741
  • Or you say, "hey, i'm redecorating my front room."
  • 00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:34.343
  • "it's all going to burn."
  • 00:07:34.343 --> 00:07:35.845
  • Really?
  • 00:07:35.845 --> 00:07:37.446
  • But they call that the truth.
  • 00:07:37.446 --> 00:07:38.915
  • It's not truth.
  • 00:07:38.915 --> 00:07:40.650
  • It's just their weird way of trying to live by truth.
  • 00:07:40.650 --> 00:07:44.854
  • But then we want to live in love.
  • 00:07:44.854 --> 00:07:46.556
  • Now sometimes people who say they live in love might--i don't
  • 00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:50.826
  • Want to say you can be too loving, but you can become too
  • 00:07:50.826 --> 00:07:54.330
  • Tolerant of everything in the name of being inclusive and kind
  • 00:07:54.330 --> 00:07:59.001
  • And never wanting to appear judgmental.
  • 00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:01.604
  • They'll never tell the truth to someone else.
  • 00:08:01.604 --> 00:08:06.008
  • Let's take a doctor as an example.
  • 00:08:06.008 --> 00:08:08.377
  • Let's say you went to your doctor for an exam, and he found
  • 00:08:08.377 --> 00:08:11.847
  • Something that concerned him.
  • 00:08:11.847 --> 00:08:13.249
  • Now, he wants to tell you the truth.
  • 00:08:13.249 --> 00:08:15.451
  • He wants to be loving about it, so in the best way he can think
  • 00:08:15.451 --> 00:08:19.855
  • Of, he has to tell you what your problem is so he can tell you
  • 00:08:19.855 --> 00:08:24.427
  • What the solution is.
  • 00:08:24.427 --> 00:08:26.596
  • And if that doctor told you you're perfectly fine when you
  • 00:08:26.596 --> 00:08:30.166
  • Had a problem, that doctor's not doing his job.
  • 00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:34.036
  • So if i see something in a fellow christian's life that is
  • 00:08:34.036 --> 00:08:37.073
  • Harmful to them or dragging them down, the bible tells me i
  • 00:08:37.073 --> 00:08:41.177
  • Should speak the truth in love.
  • 00:08:41.177 --> 00:08:44.580
  • So it comes down to this: truth anchors us, but love moves us.
  • 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:50.286
  • Truth gives us the message. love gives us the method.
  • 00:08:50.286 --> 00:08:55.391
  • We need to speak the truth in love, and the perfect example of
  • 00:08:55.391 --> 00:08:59.962
  • This is jesus.
  • 00:08:59.962 --> 00:09:02.665
  • He was a personification of truth.
  • 00:09:02.665 --> 00:09:05.267
  • He said, "i am the way, the truth, and the life."
  • 00:09:05.267 --> 00:09:09.005
  • Remember that woman caught in the act of adultery, thrown at
  • 00:09:09.005 --> 00:09:12.408
  • His feet.
  • 00:09:12.408 --> 00:09:13.743
  • Her accuser says, "the law says she should be stoned.
  • 00:09:13.743 --> 00:09:16.746
  • What do you say?"
  • 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:18.114
  • It was a trap, of course.
  • 00:09:18.114 --> 00:09:19.749
  • And jesus looked around at them, and the bible says he stooped
  • 00:09:19.749 --> 00:09:22.685
  • Down and wrote in the sand, and then he stood up and said, "let
  • 00:09:22.685 --> 00:09:26.355
  • Him that is without sin among you cast the first stone."
  • 00:09:26.355 --> 00:09:30.793
  • And they left, the bible says, from the oldest to the youngest.
  • 00:09:30.793 --> 00:09:35.131
  • Then he turns to the woman and says, "lady, where are
  • 00:09:35.131 --> 00:09:39.135
  • Your accusers?"
  • 00:09:39.135 --> 00:09:40.770
  • She said, "i have none, lord."
  • 00:09:40.770 --> 00:09:42.104
  • He says, "neither do i accuse you.
  • 00:09:42.104 --> 00:09:44.407
  • Go and sin no more."
  • 00:09:44.407 --> 00:09:46.042
  • I love the fact that he called her "lady."
  • 00:09:46.042 --> 00:09:48.678
  • I think she had been called a lot of things, but probably
  • 00:09:48.678 --> 00:09:51.247
  • Never "lady."
  • 00:09:51.247 --> 00:09:52.815
  • He used a proper term to address a woman, a woman of respect,
  • 00:09:52.815 --> 00:09:57.520
  • Almost like saying "ma'am."
  • 00:09:57.520 --> 00:09:59.622
  • "ma'am, lady, where are your accusers?"
  • 00:09:59.622 --> 00:10:02.458
  • Why did he say that?
  • 00:10:02.458 --> 00:10:04.026
  • Because he didn't just see her for what she was, he saw her for
  • 00:10:04.026 --> 00:10:07.263
  • What she could become, you see?
  • 00:10:07.263 --> 00:10:10.032
  • He saw a lady down the road, but then he says this: "go and sin
  • 00:10:10.032 --> 00:10:14.403
  • No more."
  • 00:10:14.403 --> 00:10:15.738
  • So the love was engaging her and welcoming her, but the truth was
  • 00:10:15.738 --> 00:10:19.775
  • In telling her to go and sin no more.
  • 00:10:19.775 --> 00:10:23.379
  • Love is obeying the lord.
  • 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:26.415
  • Jesus said, "if you love me, keep my commandments."
  • 00:10:26.415 --> 00:10:29.719
  • Point number two, when we walk in the truth and love people,
  • 00:10:29.719 --> 00:10:33.389
  • The devil will be opposing us.
  • 00:10:33.389 --> 00:10:35.324
  • Look at verse 7, "for many deceivers have gone out into the
  • 00:10:35.324 --> 00:10:39.295
  • World who do not confess christ as coming in the flesh.
  • 00:10:39.295 --> 00:10:43.833
  • This is a deceiver, an antichrist.
  • 00:10:43.833 --> 00:10:47.603
  • Look to yourselves, that you don't lose the things we work
  • 00:10:47.603 --> 00:10:50.573
  • For, but that we may receive a full reward."
  • 00:10:50.573 --> 00:10:55.177
  • The bible tells us that in the end times someone will emerge on
  • 00:10:55.177 --> 00:10:59.715
  • The scene called the antichrist.
  • 00:10:59.715 --> 00:11:03.586
  • That person has not yet appeared.
  • 00:11:03.586 --> 00:11:05.821
  • We don't know who he is, nor do i think we should sit around and
  • 00:11:05.821 --> 00:11:09.158
  • Try to figure out who he is because in fact the bible does
  • 00:11:09.158 --> 00:11:13.629
  • Not tell us to look for antichrist.
  • 00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:16.265
  • It tells us to look for jesus christ.
  • 00:11:16.265 --> 00:11:19.635
  • And to the point, i don't even think antichrist can be revealed
  • 00:11:19.635 --> 00:11:23.906
  • Until the church is caught up to meet the lord in the air in what
  • 00:11:23.906 --> 00:11:27.343
  • We call the rapture of the church.
  • 00:11:27.343 --> 00:11:30.379
  • The bible says, "he who now restrains will continue to do so
  • 00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:34.416
  • Until he is taken out of the way, and then that wicked one,"
  • 00:11:34.416 --> 00:11:38.053
  • Speaking of antichrist, "will be revealed, whom the lord will
  • 00:11:38.053 --> 00:11:41.056
  • Destroy with the brightness of his coming."
  • 00:11:41.056 --> 00:11:44.026
  • So what he's saying is the restraining force in the world
  • 00:11:44.026 --> 00:11:46.796
  • Today is the holy spirit working through the church, and when
  • 00:11:46.796 --> 00:11:50.666
  • That work is done and we're caught up to meet the lord, then
  • 00:11:50.666 --> 00:11:53.269
  • Antichrist will be revealed.
  • 00:11:53.269 --> 00:11:55.004
  • So yes, and the antichrist is coming, but then he talks
  • 00:11:55.004 --> 00:11:58.474
  • About antichrists.
  • 00:11:58.474 --> 00:12:00.843
  • And this is plural, and don't forget the prefix "anti" doesn't
  • 00:12:00.843 --> 00:12:05.114
  • Just mean against, it also means instead of.
  • 00:12:05.114 --> 00:12:08.717
  • So he's saying in the end times there's going to be imitations
  • 00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:11.987
  • Of christ or things that will take the place of christ or
  • 00:12:11.987 --> 00:12:16.592
  • People pretending to be followers of christ who are not
  • 00:12:16.592 --> 00:12:20.963
  • Indeed followers of christ.
  • 00:12:20.963 --> 00:12:22.665
  • Now we shift gears to 3 john.
  • 00:12:22.665 --> 00:12:25.267
  • And john addresses this to a guy named gaius.
  • 00:12:25.267 --> 00:12:29.038
  • It's assumed that he probably led gaius to the lord, so he was
  • 00:12:29.038 --> 00:12:33.175
  • Like a spiritual son in the faith.
  • 00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:36.478
  • So now in 3 john chapter 1, verse 2, "i'm writing to gaius,
  • 00:12:36.478 --> 00:12:41.684
  • My dear friend, whom i love in the truth.
  • 00:12:41.684 --> 00:12:45.421
  • Beloved, i pray that you may prosper in all things and be in
  • 00:12:45.421 --> 00:12:50.392
  • Health just as your soul prospers."
  • 00:12:50.392 --> 00:12:53.095
  • That's a great verse, isn't it?
  • 00:12:53.095 --> 00:12:55.030
  • Great thing to pray for someone.
  • 00:12:55.030 --> 00:12:57.499
  • Now there is a theology in the church today that's sometimes
  • 00:12:57.499 --> 00:13:02.771
  • Called prosperity theology or word faith theology, as it's
  • 00:13:02.771 --> 00:13:08.177
  • Sometimes described.
  • 00:13:08.177 --> 00:13:09.511
  • And the basic premise of it is that we can claim things for
  • 00:13:09.511 --> 00:13:15.117
  • Ourself, you know, you claim things by faith.
  • 00:13:15.117 --> 00:13:18.454
  • They say that faith is like a force that must be harnessed,
  • 00:13:18.454 --> 00:13:21.824
  • And you speak things into existence, and you only want to
  • 00:13:21.824 --> 00:13:25.194
  • Have a positive confession, never a negative one.
  • 00:13:25.194 --> 00:13:29.164
  • And god wants you to be in perfect health, and if you find
  • 00:13:29.164 --> 00:13:32.434
  • Yourself sick, it's because you lack faith.
  • 00:13:32.434 --> 00:13:34.837
  • And god wants you to always be financially prosperous,
  • 00:13:34.837 --> 00:13:38.307
  • And if you aren't, it's because you lack faith.
  • 00:13:38.307 --> 00:13:41.744
  • So you name it and you claim it, or you gab it and you grab it.
  • 00:13:41.744 --> 00:13:47.516
  • So word faith theology, of course, i think is contrary to
  • 00:13:47.516 --> 00:13:52.054
  • Scripture, but they'll often cite this verse, verse 2, "i
  • 00:13:52.054 --> 00:13:56.125
  • Pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health as your
  • 00:13:56.125 --> 00:14:00.029
  • Soul prospers."
  • 00:14:00.029 --> 00:14:01.397
  • Now look, god does want to give us prosperity.
  • 00:14:01.397 --> 00:14:05.567
  • We don't have to be afraid of the word "prosperity" just
  • 00:14:05.567 --> 00:14:09.104
  • Because some have misinterpreted it, 'cause it is used in the
  • 00:14:09.104 --> 00:14:13.075
  • Bible in a positive way.
  • 00:14:13.075 --> 00:14:15.678
  • In psalm 1, it says, "blessed is the man that doesn't walk in the
  • 00:14:15.678 --> 00:14:19.081
  • Counsel of the ungodly or stand in the way of sinners or sit in
  • 00:14:19.081 --> 00:14:22.451
  • The seat of the scornful.
  • 00:14:22.451 --> 00:14:24.353
  • His delight is in the word of the lord, and in it does he
  • 00:14:24.353 --> 00:14:26.922
  • Meditate day and night.
  • 00:14:26.922 --> 00:14:28.724
  • He'll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water.
  • 00:14:28.724 --> 00:14:32.094
  • His leaves shall not wither, and whatsoever he does
  • 00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:35.531
  • Shall prosper."
  • 00:14:35.531 --> 00:14:37.766
  • So god can and will prosper a believer, but we have to ask the
  • 00:14:37.766 --> 00:14:43.339
  • Question: "what is prosperity?"
  • 00:14:43.339 --> 00:14:46.342
  • Could you prosper with good health and abundant finances?
  • 00:14:46.342 --> 00:14:50.746
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:14:50.746 --> 00:14:52.281
  • Could your version of prosperity be a little different, and it
  • 00:14:52.281 --> 00:14:55.684
  • Might include some sickness that god allows for some reason to
  • 00:14:55.684 --> 00:15:00.022
  • Keep you dependent upon him and maybe a financial challenge that
  • 00:15:00.022 --> 00:15:03.892
  • Will cause you to call upon him?
  • 00:15:03.892 --> 00:15:06.428
  • Again, the answer is yes.
  • 00:15:06.428 --> 00:15:09.131
  • To prosper is to become more like jesus.
  • 00:15:09.131 --> 00:15:13.235
  • My next point, coming to christ is life-changing.
  • 00:15:13.235 --> 00:15:17.139
  • Continuing with christ is life-sustaining.
  • 00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:21.276
  • Look at 3 john 1, john says, "i rejoice greatly, brothers, as
  • 00:15:21.276 --> 00:15:27.583
  • You testified of your faith that's in you, as you walk in
  • 00:15:27.583 --> 00:15:30.119
  • The truth," and i love this.
  • 00:15:30.119 --> 00:15:31.954
  • "i have no greater joy than to know my children walk in truth."
  • 00:15:31.954 --> 00:15:40.396
  • That's so true.
  • 00:15:40.396 --> 00:15:41.730
  • No greater joy.
  • 00:15:41.730 --> 00:15:43.165
  • You know, people have asked me, [clearing throat],
  • 00:15:43.165 --> 00:15:45.734
  • "greg, why do you clear your throat so much?"
  • 00:15:45.734 --> 00:15:47.669
  • I don't know.
  • 00:15:47.669 --> 00:15:49.671
  • Because i need to be healed.
  • 00:15:49.671 --> 00:15:52.808
  • No, people have asked me, "have you ever thought about just
  • 00:15:52.808 --> 00:15:55.911
  • Being a full-time evangelist and not being a pastor?"
  • 00:15:55.911 --> 00:15:59.581
  • Back when we started our harvest crusades back in 1990, i was
  • 00:15:59.581 --> 00:16:03.886
  • Being asked that by quite a few people, and then one day billy
  • 00:16:03.886 --> 00:16:08.157
  • Graham asked me that question.
  • 00:16:08.157 --> 00:16:10.526
  • We were sitting around talking and he said, "you know
  • 00:16:10.526 --> 00:16:12.828
  • What, greg?
  • 00:16:12.828 --> 00:16:14.196
  • I think you should leave your church and no longer be a pastor
  • 00:16:14.196 --> 00:16:17.433
  • And become a full-time evangelist."
  • 00:16:17.433 --> 00:16:20.569
  • I said, "billy, you know, it's almost like moses said that to
  • 00:16:20.569 --> 00:16:25.507
  • Me just now," and he kind of smiled.
  • 00:16:25.507 --> 00:16:27.209
  • I said, "your words do carry a lot of weight.
  • 00:16:27.209 --> 00:16:30.145
  • Now, i'm gonna think about that and pray about it," and i did.
  • 00:16:30.145 --> 00:16:33.115
  • And honestly, it messed with my mind for about three months.
  • 00:16:33.115 --> 00:16:36.652
  • Like, should i do that?
  • 00:16:36.652 --> 00:16:37.986
  • Billy graham said it.
  • 00:16:37.986 --> 00:16:39.354
  • Surely that's the will of god.
  • 00:16:39.354 --> 00:16:40.956
  • And after i thought about it and prayed about it, i realized that
  • 00:16:40.956 --> 00:16:44.560
  • I'm called to be a pastor as well as an evangelist.
  • 00:16:44.560 --> 00:16:47.930
  • Whatever my legacy is, the greatest thing i hope to leave
  • 00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:51.633
  • Behind is just people who have come to christ and have grown
  • 00:16:51.633 --> 00:16:55.204
  • In christ.
  • 00:16:55.204 --> 00:16:56.572
  • C.h. spurgeon put it this way,
  • 00:16:56.572 --> 00:16:58.574
  • And he said this to me personally.
  • 00:16:58.574 --> 00:17:02.111
  • He didn't.
  • 00:17:02.111 --> 00:17:03.445
  • A lot of you don't even know who c.h. spurgeon is, but he was a
  • 00:17:03.445 --> 00:17:06.715
  • British preacher from many years ago.
  • 00:17:06.715 --> 00:17:09.284
  • He said this, and i quote, "a good character is the
  • 00:17:09.284 --> 00:17:12.354
  • Best tombstone.
  • 00:17:12.354 --> 00:17:13.922
  • Those who love you and were helped by you will remember you,
  • 00:17:13.922 --> 00:17:18.026
  • So carve your name on hearts, not on marble," end quote.
  • 00:17:18.026 --> 00:17:22.998
  • Well said.
  • 00:17:22.998 --> 00:17:24.366
  • Next point, god's people should underwrite god's work.
  • 00:17:24.366 --> 00:17:28.403
  • 3 john chapter 1, verse 5, "dear friend, you've been faithful to
  • 00:17:28.403 --> 00:17:33.709
  • God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass
  • 00:17:33.709 --> 00:17:36.812
  • Through, even though they are strangers to you.
  • 00:17:36.812 --> 00:17:39.748
  • They have told the church here of your loving friendship.
  • 00:17:39.748 --> 00:17:43.018
  • Please continue providing for such teachers in a manner that
  • 00:17:43.018 --> 00:17:47.322
  • Pleases god, for they're traveling for the lord, and they
  • 00:17:47.322 --> 00:17:51.026
  • Accept nothing from people who are not believers, so we
  • 00:17:51.026 --> 00:17:54.463
  • Ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as
  • 00:17:54.463 --> 00:17:58.534
  • They teach the truth."
  • 00:17:58.534 --> 00:18:00.202
  • So john's addressing these itinerant preachers that were
  • 00:18:00.202 --> 00:18:03.939
  • Traveling around, ministering to the church and sharing
  • 00:18:03.939 --> 00:18:08.377
  • The gospel.
  • 00:18:08.377 --> 00:18:09.778
  • You know, they didn't have hotels they could go to.
  • 00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:11.847
  • There was no marriott or sheridan or holiday inn.
  • 00:18:11.847 --> 00:18:14.950
  • So he's saying to the christians, "hey, take these
  • 00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:16.952
  • Guys in, give them a good meal, put a roof over their head, take
  • 00:18:16.952 --> 00:18:21.657
  • Care of them, show hospitality to them, invest in what they
  • 00:18:21.657 --> 00:18:25.494
  • Are doing.
  • 00:18:25.494 --> 00:18:26.828
  • They don't want to ask nonbelievers to pay them.
  • 00:18:26.828 --> 00:18:29.665
  • We, the believers, should take care of their needs."
  • 00:18:29.665 --> 00:18:32.568
  • Bringing up this point: it pleases god when we support
  • 00:18:32.568 --> 00:18:35.370
  • God's work financially.
  • 00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:37.005
  • He says in verse 6, "continue providing for such teachers in a
  • 00:18:37.005 --> 00:18:41.510
  • Manner that pleases god."
  • 00:18:41.510 --> 00:18:43.045
  • It pleases god when we invest our money in the work
  • 00:18:43.045 --> 00:18:47.749
  • Of ministry.
  • 00:18:47.749 --> 00:18:49.651
  • We should never have a discomfort hearing about this.
  • 00:18:49.651 --> 00:18:53.322
  • We should welcome it.
  • 00:18:53.322 --> 00:18:54.690
  • Did you know that there are approximately 500 verses in the
  • 00:18:54.690 --> 00:18:59.661
  • Bible about faith, approximately 500 verses in the bible about
  • 00:18:59.661 --> 00:19:05.667
  • Prayer, but then there are 2000 verses in the bible on the topic
  • 00:19:05.667 --> 00:19:11.540
  • Of money, possessions, and giving.
  • 00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:13.675
  • Yet we get uncomfortable when the subject is brought up, and
  • 00:19:13.675 --> 00:19:17.512
  • Maybe it's because that's an area that we're not really
  • 00:19:17.512 --> 00:19:21.283
  • Giving over to the lord as we ought to and we're missing the
  • 00:19:21.283 --> 00:19:23.785
  • Blessing there.
  • 00:19:23.785 --> 00:19:25.287
  • The bible says, "where your treasure is, there will your
  • 00:19:25.287 --> 00:19:28.624
  • Heart be also," so you also share in the reward when you
  • 00:19:28.624 --> 00:19:33.662
  • Invest your money.
  • 00:19:33.662 --> 00:19:35.998
  • They shouldn't go to a nonbeliever.
  • 00:19:35.998 --> 00:19:38.166
  • We should underwrite it.
  • 00:19:38.166 --> 00:19:39.568
  • That's why the harvest crusades have been free of charge for
  • 00:19:39.568 --> 00:19:43.772
  • Over 30 years.
  • 00:19:43.772 --> 00:19:45.474
  • No charge, right?
  • 00:19:45.474 --> 00:19:47.042
  • Now, you have to pay for the parking, we have nothing to say
  • 00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:53.015
  • About that.
  • 00:19:53.015 --> 00:19:54.383
  • But, you know, if we charged, it would be much easier.
  • 00:19:54.383 --> 00:19:57.719
  • And by the way, it--did you know it costs money to put a
  • 00:19:57.719 --> 00:20:00.455
  • Harvest crusade on?
  • 00:20:00.455 --> 00:20:02.357
  • I think we get a lot of bang for the buck.
  • 00:20:02.357 --> 00:20:04.326
  • I think we're great stewards of the way that we do it
  • 00:20:04.326 --> 00:20:06.862
  • Financially, but we want to pay for that so the nonbeliever will
  • 00:20:06.862 --> 00:20:11.800
  • Have no barrier put in front of them to hear the gospel.
  • 00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:16.004
  • So that's what john is saying.
  • 00:20:16.004 --> 00:20:18.006
  • Let's do that. let's take care of that.
  • 00:20:18.006 --> 00:20:20.042
  • Next point, there are real and fake believers in the church.
  • 00:20:20.042 --> 00:20:25.047
  • There's real ones and there's fake ones.
  • 00:20:25.047 --> 00:20:27.683
  • 1 john 1--excuse me, 3 john 1:9, "i wrote to the church about
  • 00:20:27.683 --> 00:20:34.956
  • This, but diotrephes, who loves to be the leader, refuses to
  • 00:20:34.956 --> 00:20:40.128
  • Have anything to do with us."
  • 00:20:40.128 --> 00:20:41.563
  • Can you imagine, who is this diotrephes dude?
  • 00:20:41.563 --> 00:20:44.866
  • He wants nothing to do with the apostle john, who personally
  • 00:20:44.866 --> 00:20:49.338
  • Walked with jesus?
  • 00:20:49.338 --> 00:20:51.440
  • "he loves to be the leader," says john.
  • 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.709
  • "when i come, i'll report some of the things he's doing and the
  • 00:20:53.709 --> 00:20:57.045
  • Evil accusations he's making against us."
  • 00:20:57.045 --> 00:20:59.481
  • This guy's making evil accusations against
  • 00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:03.151
  • The apostles.
  • 00:21:03.151 --> 00:21:04.486
  • "and not only does he refuse to welcome the traveling teachers,
  • 00:21:04.486 --> 00:21:08.023
  • He tell the others--tells others not to help them.
  • 00:21:08.023 --> 00:21:10.559
  • And when they do help, he puts them out of the church.
  • 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.029
  • Dear friend, don't let this bad example influence you.
  • 00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:17.833
  • Follow only what is good.
  • 00:21:17.833 --> 00:21:19.334
  • Remember those that do good prove that they are god's
  • 00:21:19.334 --> 00:21:22.471
  • Children, and those who do evil prove they do not know god."
  • 00:21:22.471 --> 00:21:27.376
  • One of the greatest criticisms of the church is
  • 00:21:27.376 --> 00:21:30.412
  • Hypocrisy, right?
  • 00:21:30.412 --> 00:21:32.280
  • Too many hypocrites in the church, and i've often said, if
  • 00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:35.617
  • You find a hypocrite-free church, don't join it because
  • 00:21:35.617 --> 00:21:39.721
  • You'll ruin it.
  • 00:21:39.721 --> 00:21:41.590
  • Every church has hypocrites, and let's be honest, every one of us
  • 00:21:41.590 --> 00:21:45.594
  • Has moments of hypocrisy, no exceptions.
  • 00:21:45.594 --> 00:21:49.231
  • But we have to consider something else.
  • 00:21:49.231 --> 00:21:51.867
  • Jesus told a parable about the wheat and the tares.
  • 00:21:51.867 --> 00:21:56.405
  • And the tare is very similar to the wheat, and the story he told
  • 00:21:56.405 --> 00:21:59.808
  • Is a farmer went out to sow wheat, and then he had an enemy
  • 00:21:59.808 --> 00:22:03.245
  • That sowed tares next to the wheat.
  • 00:22:03.245 --> 00:22:05.881
  • Initially, both the wheat and the tare look the same, but as
  • 00:22:05.881 --> 00:22:10.285
  • Time passes, it's revealed that one is bearing fruit and the
  • 00:22:10.285 --> 00:22:14.423
  • Other is not.
  • 00:22:14.423 --> 00:22:16.057
  • So the point he is making is in our churches there will be true
  • 00:22:16.057 --> 00:22:20.762
  • And false believers.
  • 00:22:20.762 --> 00:22:23.098
  • There'll be people that genuinely know the lord and
  • 00:22:23.098 --> 00:22:26.134
  • People that don't.
  • 00:22:26.134 --> 00:22:27.469
  • So sometimes people will say, "i left my faith because
  • 00:22:27.469 --> 00:22:32.374
  • Of hypocrisy.
  • 00:22:32.374 --> 00:22:33.708
  • That leader was a hypocrite or this person that claimed to be a
  • 00:22:33.708 --> 00:22:37.012
  • Christian was a hypocrite."
  • 00:22:37.012 --> 00:22:38.713
  • Were they?
  • 00:22:38.713 --> 00:22:40.115
  • Or were they actually never a believer to even begin with?
  • 00:22:40.115 --> 00:22:43.652
  • So instead of pointing fingers and saying, "is it him or is
  • 00:22:43.652 --> 00:22:47.489
  • It her?" make sure it's not you.
  • 00:22:47.489 --> 00:22:51.092
  • Remember the story when jesus was talking to peter and john
  • 00:22:51.092 --> 00:22:55.063
  • And said that john was gonna live longer than peter, and
  • 00:22:55.063 --> 00:22:58.567
  • Peter didn't really like that idea.
  • 00:22:58.567 --> 00:23:01.036
  • And he said, "well, what about this man?"
  • 00:23:01.036 --> 00:23:02.604
  • Jesus said, "what is it to you?
  • 00:23:02.604 --> 00:23:05.173
  • Follow me."
  • 00:23:05.173 --> 00:23:06.541
  • The point of it is simply this: "you just take care of yourself
  • 00:23:06.541 --> 00:23:10.545
  • And just make sure that you are walking with me."
  • 00:23:10.545 --> 00:23:13.415
  • Listen, jesus christ is who i signed up to follow over 50
  • 00:23:13.415 --> 00:23:19.287
  • Years ago.
  • 00:23:19.287 --> 00:23:20.889
  • Jesus christ has never failed me.
  • 00:23:20.889 --> 00:23:24.125
  • Jesus christ has never been inconsistent or hypocritical or
  • 00:23:24.125 --> 00:23:28.597
  • Abandoned me.
  • 00:23:28.597 --> 00:23:29.965
  • He's kept all of his promises to me.
  • 00:23:29.965 --> 00:23:31.867
  • So regardless of what all y'all do, i'm staying with jesus and
  • 00:23:31.867 --> 00:23:36.771
  • Following him to the end, and that's what we all should do.
  • 00:23:36.771 --> 00:23:40.075
  • As the old song says, "though none go with me, so i
  • 00:23:44.179 --> 00:23:47.549
  • Will follow."
  • 00:23:47.549 --> 00:23:48.917
  • I want others to follow him, but my focus should be on my own
  • 00:23:48.917 --> 00:23:53.688
  • Relationship with god.
  • 00:23:53.688 --> 00:23:55.390
  • My last point, one of the weirdest points i've ever made.
  • 00:23:55.390 --> 00:23:59.060
  • Try to write this down, i dare you.
  • 00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:01.563
  • Be a demetrius, not a diotrephes.
  • 00:24:01.563 --> 00:24:05.066
  • Okay, i'll put it on the screen so you can spell it.
  • 00:24:05.066 --> 00:24:08.003
  • Be a demetrius, not a diotrephes.
  • 00:24:08.003 --> 00:24:10.605
  • Let me explain.
  • 00:24:10.605 --> 00:24:11.973
  • Remember i mentioned diotrephes in verse 9?
  • 00:24:11.973 --> 00:24:15.076
  • He says, "i wrote to the church about this, but diotrephes, who
  • 00:24:15.076 --> 00:24:18.813
  • Loves to be the leader, refuses to have anything to do with us."
  • 00:24:18.813 --> 00:24:23.318
  • So here's the thing, it'd be really cool to have your name
  • 00:24:23.318 --> 00:24:27.188
  • Written in an epistle to be read for all church history, unless
  • 00:24:27.188 --> 00:24:33.128
  • Your name was diotrephes, then it's not such a good thing.
  • 00:24:33.128 --> 00:24:36.231
  • But if your name is demetrius, it's a great thing.
  • 00:24:36.231 --> 00:24:39.267
  • So john writes about diotrephes, then he talks about this other
  • 00:24:39.267 --> 00:24:42.771
  • Guy, demetrius, 3 john 1:12, "everyone speaks highly of
  • 00:24:42.771 --> 00:24:48.109
  • Demetrius, as does the truth itself.
  • 00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:51.746
  • We ourselves say the same thing for him, and you know we speak
  • 00:24:51.746 --> 00:24:55.750
  • The truth."
  • 00:24:55.750 --> 00:24:57.085
  • What a great reputation demetrius has.
  • 00:24:57.085 --> 00:25:00.822
  • So who are you?
  • 00:25:00.822 --> 00:25:02.190
  • Are you a demetrius or a diotrephes?
  • 00:25:02.190 --> 00:25:04.993
  • Demetrius had a good testimony.
  • 00:25:04.993 --> 00:25:07.562
  • Diotrephes had a poor one.
  • 00:25:07.562 --> 00:25:09.864
  • Demetrius was respected by everyone.
  • 00:25:09.864 --> 00:25:13.535
  • John says, "everyone speaks highly of him."
  • 00:25:13.535 --> 00:25:16.438
  • Diotrephes was rebuked by john the apostle for being divisive
  • 00:25:16.438 --> 00:25:21.242
  • And proud.
  • 00:25:21.242 --> 00:25:22.577
  • Demetrius was welcoming and faithful.
  • 00:25:22.577 --> 00:25:25.246
  • Diotrephes kicked people out of the church and drove them away.
  • 00:25:25.246 --> 00:25:29.551
  • Demetrius was a bridge builder. diotrephes was a bridge burner.
  • 00:25:29.551 --> 00:25:36.091
  • Are you a demetrius or are you a diotrephes?
  • 00:25:36.091 --> 00:25:39.928
  • So let's wrap this up and conclude.
  • 00:25:39.928 --> 00:25:42.964
  • What have we learned?
  • 00:25:42.964 --> 00:25:44.332
  • Number one, walk in truth and love.
  • 00:25:44.332 --> 00:25:46.334
  • Number two, support god's people in god's work.
  • 00:25:46.334 --> 00:25:50.338
  • Number three, be a bridge builder, not a bridge burner.
  • 00:25:50.338 --> 00:25:54.576
  • Number four, leave a godly legacy.
  • 00:25:54.576 --> 00:25:57.212
  • Fifth and lastly, don't be a diotrephes, be a demetrius.
  • 00:25:57.212 --> 00:26:03.852
  • The ultimate example of truth and love was jesus.
  • 00:26:03.852 --> 00:26:08.123
  • He was the very truth.
  • 00:26:08.123 --> 00:26:09.724
  • He said, "i am the way, the truth, and the life," and it all
  • 00:26:09.724 --> 00:26:12.327
  • Came together at the cross when he died there in our place.
  • 00:26:12.327 --> 00:26:17.832
  • And i close with this question.
  • 00:26:17.832 --> 00:26:19.868
  • He did that to assure your salvation.
  • 00:26:19.868 --> 00:26:22.771
  • Do you know that you are saved?
  • 00:26:22.771 --> 00:26:26.808
  • Greg: hi, i'm greg laurie.
  • 00:26:30.412 --> 00:26:31.780
  • I've got some good news for you.
  • 00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:33.181
  • God loves you, and god has a plan for your life.
  • 00:26:33.181 --> 00:26:36.918
  • Here's the problem: we're separated from god by our sin
  • 00:26:36.918 --> 00:26:40.555
  • Because we've all broken his commandments.
  • 00:26:40.555 --> 00:26:43.358
  • But the good news is, is 2,000 years ago, god sent his son
  • 00:26:43.358 --> 00:26:47.896
  • Jesus christ to die on the cross for your sin and then to rise
  • 00:26:47.896 --> 00:26:52.067
  • Again from the dead.
  • 00:26:52.067 --> 00:26:53.468
  • The same jesus who died and rose is alive and ready to come into
  • 00:26:53.468 --> 00:26:57.605
  • Your life right now.
  • 00:26:57.605 --> 00:26:59.374
  • Would you like your sin forgiven?
  • 00:26:59.374 --> 00:27:01.443
  • Would you like to know that when you die, you will go to heaven?
  • 00:27:01.443 --> 00:27:04.412
  • If so, pray this simple prayer with me right now.
  • 00:27:04.412 --> 00:27:07.749
  • Just say, "lord jesus, i know i'm a sinner, but i believe
  • 00:27:07.749 --> 00:27:11.352
  • You're the savior who died on the cross for my sin.
  • 00:27:11.352 --> 00:27:14.723
  • I turn from my sin now, and i choose to follow you from this
  • 00:27:14.723 --> 00:27:19.060
  • Moment forward."
  • 00:27:19.060 --> 00:27:20.695
  • Did you just pray that prayer with me?
  • 00:27:20.695 --> 00:27:22.597
  • If you did, god in heaven has heard you.
  • 00:27:22.597 --> 00:27:25.867
  • Congratulations and welcome to the family of god.
  • 00:27:25.867 --> 00:27:25.867
