As we study the short book of 3 John we key in on the three people mentioned and find why their examples are important to us.

We are to be those who love truth and show truth in love. As we study 2 John we discover exactly what that means.

The Apostle Paul begins to take the time to answer the attacks against him beginning in this chapter because when attacks start to impact the ministry, they can no longer be ignored. As we examine our text today, we learn habits that need to be part of our lives now so we can handle attacks well.

Paul focuses on the motivations for giving and we find keys to be sure we are giving with the right heart attitude.

Pastor Mike takes a quick break from our 2 Corinthians study to exhort us from Haggai not to be distracted from the work at hand, examining the excuses that Israel used (and we still use today) to not do the the work God has called us to do.

In our text in this study, the Apostle Paul focuses on those collecting the offering and we glean application on desired characteristics for those who gather and distribute and how we should respond to those who handle finances.

The Apostle Paul begins his discourse on giving over the next two chapters of 2 Corinthians and in our text in this study, we see two examples of giving and instructions for giving.

In our study today, we look at four steps to finding joy in ministry. All of us are called to serve the Lord (as we have already seen in previous studies) and we know it is going to be hard, so how do we find joy in the hardships? This study gives some application for those times from the text itself.
