In this powerful exploration of 3 John, we dive deep into the contrasting paths of pride and humility. The central message revolves around our spiritual posture - are we walking with pride, prioritizing ourselves, or with humility, prioritizing others and God? We're challenged to examine our hearts, recognizing that pride often disguises itself in modern buzzwords like 'authenticity' and 'happiness'. The story of Diotrephes serves as a stark warning against the dangers of spiritual pride, reminding us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled. In contrast, we're encouraged to emulate Demetrius, whose life aligns with scripture and garners respect from all. This message compels us to reflect on our own walk: Are we resisting correction or seeking wisdom? Are we lifting others up or pushing them down? As we navigate our faith journey, let's strive to walk humbly, serve boldly, and reflect Jesus in every step we take.Chapter 1: Introduction: The Battle of Pride vs. Humility 0:00 - 10:00We examine the contrast between pride and humility in Christian life, focusing on 3 John.Chapter 2: The Dangers of Pride: Examining Diotrephes 10:00 - 25:00We analyze the prideful behavior of Diotrephes and its negative impact on the church.Chapter 3: The Beauty of Humility: Learning from Demetrius 25:00 - 35:00We explore the positive example of Demetrius and the characteristics of a humble walk.Chapter 4: Conclusion: Checking Our Posture 35:00 - 40:00We are challenged to examine our own lives and walk humbly with God.
