Matt Hemsley pulls out the larger themes in the, admittedly short, 3rd epistle of John. Reflecting on how this John who was a “Son of Thunder” ( Mark 3:17 ) eventually became the “Apostle of Love,” Matt describes the heart transformation meant to take place inside of a true Christian.
Guest pastor Matt Yi walks us through the book of 2 John. Carrying on John’s continued chorus of the importance of love for one another echoed throughout his biblical writings, 2 John also emphasizes the importance of truth. Matt explores truth and the two ways you can know somebody- knowing about them and knowing them. For a Christian, both are important, but many may stop at just knowing about Jesus instead of “Walking in Truth” WITH Him.

We are called to love one another in 1 John. But to do so, we must first come to know and believe–to abide in–God’s love for us.

We need gospel, and the greatness of God’s love, to push deep into our hearts and our lives.
