>> Grant: Well, good morning and welcome to the First Colony Church of
Christ, where our mission is to honor God and lead people into a growing
relationship with Him.
We're excited you joined us today for worship as we center on the
Biblical themes found in the Scriptures in 3 John.
Of course, today is Valentine's Day so happy Valentine's Day to you all;
and as we think about love and as we enter into this time of worship,
let's remember that our God is the definition of love at His very core.
Let's stand as we enter into this time of worship today.
>> Richard: We want to teach you a new song today!
("Your Love awakeness me" playing)
>> God's love is greater and stronger, amen!
We want to stand in His love.
His love is a shelter of protection and strength.
("Stand in Your Love" playing)
>> Richard: Oh, yes, I'm standing in Your love.
♫
(Applause)
>> Joel: All right!
You guys can be seated.
Well, happy Valentine's Day to everyone here.
Thank you for braving the elements and joining us here at worship.
Those of you that are home, we're glad you're here as well.
Well, it's Valentine's Day, and what is so exciting is that people often
look for the perfect gift.
They want to give the very best, and so often maybe that's chocolate.
Maybe it's gift cards.
Maybe it's clothes.
I actually looked up online, what are the worst gifts that people have
given on Valentine's Day, and one of them was a trash can, and another
one was jumper cables.
So apparently those aren't good, just in case you got those and haven't
given them yet, maybe add something to them.
So the question is we are looking for the perfect gift, and we're
looking for each other; but as a believer we want to give God the
perfect gift.
You know, what is that?
Is that, you know -- I'm gonna spend more time with You, God.
I'm gonna sacrifice somewhere and give You just a little bit more in
this area.
What is the perfect gift for God?
Well, we have an awesome worship team, as you know, and so often they
have to try to look through my back to see what is going on, and don't
you feel bad they don't necessarily get to see?
They have to watch the cameras.
So I will give them a glimpse of what the most incredible gift that you
could give God is.
Are you surprised?
Is it true?
Nod your head.
Is that the most incredible gift you could give God?
It is.
How about that?
It is?
I will go -- poor Thomas.
He's in a cage.
He never gets to get out.
(Laughter)
Do you see what that is?
Is it what you expected?
The most incredible gift?
Do you guys wanted to see?
>> Yea!
>> Joel: Are you sure?
Can you handle this?
Well, first you get the Bible verse.
And the Bible verse is this: Matthew 22.
Someone ask asked gussets, what's the most important commandment?
And Jesus responded in verse 37.
He said, YOU shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul,
mind, and strength.
Do you want to know what the most incredible gift you can give God is?
It's YOU.
It's love.
But as you can see, it's a mirror.
I don't know if you can get zapped in the eyes as I twist it around to
make sure everyone gets hit -- now I'm going for the camera.
Boom!
Nailed you!
All right, well, bottom line, it is you; and friends, as we celebrate
Valentine's Day, we think about love.
And we say, okay, how can I love God more?
He who has My commandments and keeps them loves Me, but ultimately it's
giving ourself to Him, and that is where love begin.
Thank you very much.
(Applause)
>> There's one day of the year when love is celebrated in abundance.
Big red hearts pass to all our friends, bags of the best chocolate
consumed by the pound.
Cards, candy, nice meals, surprise gifts.
It's lavish and lovely and reminds us of all the good things.
But what does love look like when it spills to every other day of the
year?
Maybe it's food banks always stocked.
Hard conversations over hot cups of coffee.
Holding the hand of a stranger.
Sticking it out through hard times.
Sitting in grief.
It's not even yours.
Delivering hope through a simple card.
(Laughter)
er and goodwill.
Provision, protection, patience.
Forgiveness before it's asked.
Walking a mile in another's shoes.
We know this kind of love because we saw it.
.
Love is the Son willing to hang on the cross, that God willing to die in
our place, the Father who had a plan to save His children from the
moment He created us.
We were always on His heart and still are.
Every day of the year.
>> Grant: There we go.
As Josea and Maria Casanueva come their way up to lead us in communion,
if you're at home, go ahead and get your supplies out.
If you're here, get your back its out.
If you don't have one, we have extras in the back.
As we finish up, if you will take those and put them in the bags and
baskets at the end of the aisle and you can throw them out on your way
out.
Let's enter into this sacred time of communion.
Thank you.
Jose?
>> Jose: Good morning.
My name is Jose Casanueva, my wife Maria, and we're grateful to lead you
in celebrating the Lord's Super this -- Supper this morning.
We will pray for the bread, representing the body of Christ, given for
us; and the cup, which represents the blood He poured for the
forgiveness of our sins.
Let's pray.
Heavenly Father, in the book of Romans chapter 5, verses 6-8, it is
written: you see, at just the right time when we were still powerless,
Christ died for the ton Godly -- the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person.
For a good person, someone might possibly there to die.
God demonstrates His love for us in this.
While we were still shynesses, Christ died for us.
Thank you for providing a way for all of us to be reconciled back to
You.
We receive by faith Your gift of salvation through Jesus' sacrifice for
us on the cross.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your perfect love, grace, and mercy.
In Jesus' Name we pray.
let's partake.
>> Maria: Today I will be reading from 1 Peter, chapter 4, verses 7
through 11, the Scripture will be on the screen for you to follow along.
("Resurrecting" playing)
>> Grant: yeah, amen.
Round of applause there.
We are about to enter into our time of offering and leading us in our
prayer today is David Avera, an elder of the church.
Thank you, David.
>> David: As we proposer our offering today, the eldership would like to

offer.
Most Graciously and Loving Heavenly Father, we, as a body of believe
commerce, come before You now with glad and sincere hearts, thanking You
for Your love and pleasings You shower down on us each and other day.
We thank You for loving us first before we ever knew You.
As we give back to You just a small sliver of what is already Yours, we
do so in hopes that these gifts will be used to expand Your kingdom both
here in our area but also in throughout the world.
May those who have never heard the Name of Jesus come to know You.
In Christ's Name we pray, amen.
>> Grant: Thank you, David.
All right, at this time we're about to enter into our fellowship

("From the Day" playing)
>> Richard: Yes, from the day You saved my soul!
Thank you today for worshiping with us!
You may be seated!
>> Ronnie: Richard and team, thank you so very, very much; and good
morning, everyone to those of you in the room.
We're glad to see you.
Those of you watching online, we welcome you as well, and it's just to
be together for a time of worship whether we're in the room or together
virtually.
It's good to sort of recalibrate and root ourselves into big picture of
things in God's grace and truth.
We'd love to hear from you and pray for you.
You can contact us via our online app or just right there on your screen
as you're watching us.
(clearing throat)
Excuse me.
We have some folks ready to visit with you and pray with you this
morning.
Well, in our teaching time, we're in a message series called "Small
Books and Big Messages," looking at four big in the New Testament that
are one-chapter books or in essence no-chapter books.
There's no chapter 2.
So two weeks ago we were in 2 John.
Today we will be in 3 John, which is the shortest book in the New
Testament.
Only 219 words.
Greek words.
The title of today's message is "Walking in the Truth" because the word
"Truth" is a keyword.
You know, whenever you read a section of Scripture, you're looking for
repeated terms; and the word "Truth" is repeated seven times in the book
of 3 John.
We love in the truth.
The truth of God is our boundaries.
We walk in the truth.
We live in the truth.
We love in the truth.
And truth was the teaching handed down from the apostles.
To us, it's the Word of God P written and revealed in the Bible to know
the Bible is to have a standard of truth.
To obey the truth is to obey the truth so that's where we are today.
And gang, whenever we come before Scripture like this, our ultimate aim
and goal is to help you add impact and influence and legacy to your
circle.
I believe this section of Scripture can help us.
Let me introduce you to our cast of characters.
This is the most personal of the apostle John's writings.
It's incredibly personal.
You know 2 John was written to a woman not really named.
This letter has some very specific names.
So here are our cast of characters on the screen.
The apostle John is the one writing.
Gaius, we'll meet Gaius, a great guy, a good leader.
And then there's Diotrephes, not so much a good guy.
In fact, if we had an audiencer, you cheer for Gaius and boo for
Diotrephes.
And then there's Demetrius, basically the mailman.
He's the one who brought this letter to the readers, and he's also a
traveling missionary, a traveling minister.
Now, here's what you got to know, and this is somewhat encouraging that
the apostle John, he's up in years now.
This is about the last decade of the first century.
It's been a LONG time since he was physically walking with Jesus, and
even though he's an apostle and these are early churches, they have
problems.
Wherever you have people, you're gonna have challenges, and you had a
number of people who wanted to open the door too widely.
Whether they were just overly sentimental or perhaps they weren't
discerning, there was no sense of truth; and they just endorsed
everything.
There was no discernment.
They endorsed and blessed everything.
And listen, we should love every one.
We LOVE even our enemies.
But we do not endorse every teaching, every idea, every concept.
So you had some folk who just wanted to OPEN everything indiscriminately
with no sense of discernment, no filter.
Then you had others who wanted to make it so narrow -- maybe because of
self-centered motives.
They were TOO narrow and sometimes even mean-spirited so John would
write about love.
He'd also write about truth.
He said both are vital.
We walk in the truth.
We walk in love.
And we can do both.
Let's not be too harsh, and let's not be too non-discerning as well.
We can do this, all right?
So reading 3 John 1, the elder -- that's the apostle John.
(reading)
He's gonna say "My dear friend Gaius" repeatedly.
Whom I love in the truth.
In other words, we share something in common.
"I don't love you just as an enemy.
WE are partners.
We have fellowship with one another.
I love you in the truth."
Now, that name Gaius.
There are three other people named Gaius in the New Testament.
Is this one of those?
Probably not.
The name Gaius is actually one of the more common names at this time and
in this area.
Very common name.
Did you ever see the movie "My big fat Greek wedding?"
Funny, great movie.
Remember the scene where the two families, the family of the bride and
groom meet for the first time?
The bride's family is this big, Greek family, and the patriarch, Gus, is
introducing his family to the other family.
He says, and this is my brother and his children.
Nick, Diana, and Nick.
And my other brother and his children -- Nick, Diana, and Nick.
These are cousins and nieces and nephew.
There's Nick, Nick, Nicky, Nick -- so you get where I'm going.
So the name Gaius was a very, very common name.
It's a cool name.
It's a great-sounding name, kind of like our modern, you know,
contemporary -- Bob, Bill, John, Ronald, COOL sounding names like that.
So this is Gaius and he's a great guy.
Fabulous guy.
Verse 2.
(reading)
You're doing so well spiritually, I pray your business prospers.
I pray your health prospers.
Listen, and it's okay to pray for people to prosper, not just
spiritually but in other ways because, listen, as the Old Testament will
tell us, when righteous men and women prosper, EVERYTHING around them
gets better.
Haven't you ever worked for a wonderful boss?
And she walks with the Lord?
He walks with the Lord?
And everything around them is better.
It's a good thing.
(reading)
And now the best known statement in all of 3 John, verse 4.
As any parent or spiritual parent can attest, that's a fabulous,
fabulous joy.
He says it again.
"Dear friend."
(reading)
Now, what's Gaius doing for everyone?
Listen carefully: Gaius is an underwriter.
He is a sponsor.
He is an energizer.
He is a generous giver and supporter of missionaries and ministers.
And if believers don't support missionaries and ministers, who will?
Unbelievers are not.
The federal government is not.
In 2 John, we studied two weeks ago, the apostle John says, you cannot
endorse everything.
You got to have a sense of discernment about you.
You can't just bless every teaching and teacher that comes along.
Some deny Christ.
Some have the spirit of the Antichrist.
But good missionaries and teachers, my goodness!
Support them.
Underwrite them.
Be a co-laborer with them.
Notice what he said in verse 6.
(reading)
You know, over the years all of our missionary partners, we tried to do
that.
If we have a partnership to support and honor them in a way that honors
God -- and it was for the sake of the Name they went out, receiving no
help from the pagans.
Again, ministers and missionaries -- unbelievers are not going to
support them.
Federal government is not going to support them.
If WE don't, who will?
Verse 8.
(reading)
Think support.
Underwriting.
Engaging, having a relationship with.
We show hospitality to such people so that we may -- here's the
phrase -- work together for the truth.
In other words, not everyone can go.
Not everyone can be a minister.
Not everyone can be a missionary.
But we can all play a part and support and as Jesus said, whoever
partners with a righteous person also receives that righteous person's
reward.
I am fully aware that what I do is made possible by the sacrifice and
donated dollars and cents of righteous -- not everybody can be a
minister.
Not everybody can be a missionary.
We are co-laborers.
Our missionaries, -- WE are co-laborers with them and YOU get, too, a
righteous person's reward in that.
And that's Gaius.
That's who he is, a fabulous supporter, cheerleader, generous benefactor
of good!
That's wonderful!
That's the kind of person we want to be!
And now he, John turns it a little bit and we come to verse 9.
(reading)
Here's another church character, Diotrephes.
Diotrephes loves to be first and Diotrephes would not welcome us.
Hey, the apostle John is the apostle of love.
Who would have anything against the apostle John?
Answer: someone who didn't want to share the stage with the apostle
John.
Someone who didn't want to make room for him.
Here's the way I would define the "Loves to be first" mentality.
It's not a love to excel.
That's not it.
Love is to be first.
An unwillingness to make room for the other substantial gifts that other
brothers and sisters can bring to the table and wanted it all.
Now, some of you remember -- and some of you probably didn't see this
movie paw it's a very high-class movie called "Talledega Nights."
(Laughter)
And the key character in the movie is a guy by the name of Ricky Bobby.
Remember Ricky Bobby?
Here he is.
He's on screen now.
"If you ain't first, you're last."
That was his motto.
"If you ain't first, you're last."
And he said, that's what his dad always said.
You remember towards the end of the movie his dad said, "That's the
dumbest thing I ever heard in my life.
I didn't say that, or if I did, I didn't know what I was thinking.
That's just not true "If you're not first you're last."
You could be second, third, fourth.
That's fine."
but Diotrephes lives by the moto, if you're not first, you're last.
What does that look like?
John tells us.
Verse 10.
(reading)
He said, I'm going to come there -- and we're not going to ignore this.
You can't ignore church or any kind of bullies.
When I come, I'm going to call attention to what he's doing.
What's he doing?
Spreading malicious nonsense about us.
You know, this is that spirit that just loves to either find fault or
create it.
It's an attack mode mentality.
It's that spirit that says, "Here's the way I'm going to earn your
trust.
I'm going to earn your trust by creating distrust in everybody else."
I'm going to maliciously attack everyone else so the only person left is
me.
That's Diotrephes.
And John say, (reading)
you know like Gaius with a wonderful spirit that is helping?
That's not Diotrephes.
(reading)
You mean to tell me that Diotrephes was even falsely accusing the
apostle John?
Yes.
why?
Because he was a threat.
Listen very carefully: there is nothing wrong with aspiring to be a
leader.
The Bible says you aspire to be a leader that's a good thing.
There's nothing wrong with aspiring to be a leader.
There's nothing wrong with aspiring to excel in everything you do.
Last week, Billy Granville was up here and talked about values and
wanted to press along with his family and his children.
You know, love God first.
Love your family.
Love your country, your nation.
And excel and to excel in everything you do.
He said, "It's okay to aspire to be captain of your team."
Billy was captain of the football team at Duke University.
It's good to aspire to be a leader.
It's good to aspire to excellence in everything you do but in a
community environment and a family environment -- which is what the
church is -- you can't just take the wrong path of command and control
and trying to earn trust by creating distrust in others.
You aim to be a leader by following Jesus, not by following the spirit
of Diotrephes.
By the way, does Diotrephes sound like a happy person to you?
No.
Power and authority and the hands of a good person is a wonderful thing.
Authority in the hands of a good person who's under the authority of the
Lord Jesus Christ, that's a beautiful, wonderful thing.
Well, continuing on, verse 11 here.
(reading)
He says it again today just."
dear friend."
(reading)
And now he endorses the mailman who's bringing this letter who's a
traveling minister, his name is Demetrius.
Okay.
So having read this short little letter, shortest in the New Testament
what are some observations?
Here's the third one: Play your part in both protecting and proclaiming
the historic apostolic Christian message.
Play your part. Listen carefully, in both protecting and proclaiming.
Remember, two weeks ago John talks about protecting the Christian
message.
Let me remind you of what he says in 2 John 7.
And verse 10.
In other words, don't be so undiscerning. Don't be so sentimental that
you endorse everything that you hear.
I mean, as a parent, do you just let any kind of movie come into your
house?
You just let any kind of music come into your house?
You just let any kind of information come around?
And John says, there are deceivers out there, deceivers in the name of
Christianity and they may mean well.
They may be deceived themselves.
But if they are denying essential cart national aspects of the Christian
faith, again, we're not talking about sideline issues but John says
you've got people denying Christ has come in the flesh, the incarnation.
Either out of sentimentality or a lack of discernment, you're endorsing
that.
And he says in verse 11.
In other words, there are things we need to say yes to and things to
which we need to say no.
Remember a couple of weeks ago I put the little gospel triage thing up
here on the screen there you'll see the words: Essential,
congregationally important, third level importance.
I mean, there are certain things of first importance, essential, they
define what a Christian is and someone who's not a Christian.
And then there are matters of congregational importance and
distinctiveness where, you know, it's like Paul and B. disagreed on
whether you take John -- you can't take him and not take him at the same
time. So they won't on separate missionary journeys.
But they did not demonize each other. Sometimes you can't do a small
group or a local church with people of really good faith, good people.
But there are congregational distinctives, that's the reality.
And then there are third level importance things.
What a John is telling us here is you play your part in protecting the
gospel message as Karen and her commentary on first, second and third
John stays the essence of Christian leadership has a protective nature
to it.
We protect the teaching of the apostles that's been passed down and
innovation in Christian belief and practice, it has to be bounded by
apostolic orthodoxy and that's true until Jesus returns. Now, we also
play a part in proclaiming, protecting and proclaiming and that's the
message here in 3 John.
In other words, be like Gaius, support, encourage the good. Underwrite,
play a part.
Be generous.
And when you do that, you're a partner.
You're a colaborer.
You work together -- not everyone can go but we can all help support.
Secondly, hold the loves to be first attitude accountable.
Hold it accountable in yourself first.
Hold it accountable in your little circle next.
Let's protect ourselves from pride.
Pride at every stage is your worst enemy.
Humility is your best friend.
And may I remind you, humility's not a lack of conviction. Humility is
not a lack of doctrinal conviction, only the humble person can have
convictions.
Why?
Because we're willing to come under -- we don't trust ourselves and we
come under what the Lord has to say.
Humility is not passivity, it's not being cowardly. Humility, though,
is a willingness to put God in the spotlight to, want to develop others,
to cheer others on. It's that willingness to use our own gifts and
strengths even to benefit others and not just to our own benefit.
And that's the beauty of humility. And so be aware of that loves to be
first mindset, guard against it in yourself and in your circle.
And by the way, you want to feed humility -- and we'll never perfectly
get there, you know?
No one will ever be able to say I'm proud to say I'm no longer proud,
you know?
None of us can say that.
But how can you feed humility?
First and foremost, you glory in the cross.
And you realize that Jesus has not just saved us from low self-esteem.
He has saved us from eternal death and from the just due of our sins.
And we glory in the cross. And secondly, you know, celebrate God's
gifts and grace to other people.
Be willing to share the spotlight.
And cheer one another on and be grateful for the gifts of and their
gifts in your life.
And listen to scripture.
More than you listen to yourself.
Last of all, I'm just going to quote John and what says to Gaius.
There's a lot of junk around you and you'll have to be discerning.
Don't imitate what's evil, I am at a time what's good.
You see a Diotrephes, don't go there. You see a Gaius, yeah.
You want to imitate that spirit.
All right?
Everybody, I want to thank you for being with us today watching online.
I want to thank you for being here in the room.
I want to remind you no one loves you like the Lord Jesus Christ.
And you might say from time to time I just don't feel like I'm worthy to
be called God's child.
Listen carefully: Jesus Christ is fully worthy to be your savior and
that makes you worthy to be God's son and God's daughter.
And wherever you may be this day in your life -- I know we'd all like to
know how things are going to turn out for us personally, I wish I could
know about tomorrow and three months from now.
Can God give a guarantee? I know your future is in His hand's.
I know ultimately we in.
I don't know what three months from today will look like for you.
But I know this, we're called to walk in truth.
What that means is we're going to walk day by day and we're going to
trust God.
We're going to trust God for our future and what He will bring about.
And there's no better place to be than in his hands and purposes.
May the Lord keep you and protect you.
You are elder David is going to lead us now in prayer.
>> Let's pray together.
Dear heavenly father as we close our time together today we pray that as
our world appears to be in turmoil at every turn we as Christians all
remember that it is not politicians or governments, not doctors or
hospitals, not even money or weather forecasts that we put our trust in.
I pray that we all remember above all we trust and serve the king of
kings.
God I pray no matter what our personal beliefs are that we can pray for
our leaders in whatever capacity they serve and that they all do what is
right in your eyes.
God, so often we focus on things of this Earth that ultimately do not
matter.
I pray that we keep our focus on what matters to you and I pray that we
will always show love in every situation.
Both when it is easy and especially when it is not.
God, I pray that you intervene and heal us both our bodies and our
spirits.
Many of our numbers here in this church and many more of our friends and
family are in desperate need of you right now.
COVID as well as cancers, chronic pain and numerous other conditions are
making many feel like they have no hope.
We pray for your intervention and healing, for everyone who needs you.
And God, I pray that you search us and use us in whatever way you need
to expand your kingdom.
I pray you give each of us a servant heart.
God, thank you for loving us more than we will ever know.
In Christ's name we pray.
Amen.
>> Thank you David.

For our ladies Tuesday mornings is going to be canceled on campus here
this week because of the building will be closed due to weather.
So check in with your teacher, see what the plan S. but we won't be
meeting at the building for ladies Tuesday morning studies this week.
And last but surely not least we want to extend our sympathies and
condolences to friends and family of Danny Murphy.
His memorial was held Friday and just a great Godly man.
He was married to AB Murphy who magnified a little over a year ago and
just a wonderful couple.
And I will say as we sit her in on Valentine's Day they were a couple in
their 80's known for holding hands and walking as they got their daily
exercise.
It's just a beautiful picture of the love they had for each other but
this was a couple that loved the Lord and the church and just a
wonderful man and Danny Murphy.
So we extend our sympathies there.
Church, please know we love you and are praying for you guys.
As you fill out those prayer requests every week our staff is praying
for you by name.
Now we're walking with you this week as we go.
As we do that let's go ahead and stand as we close with one last song.
