Truth and Love: 2 and 3 John

16 and 23 November

Which one should we treasure more, truth or love? They seem in conflict with each other. In our 21st century world of “you do you”, should we stand up for the truth of the gospel even if it means being “unloving”? Or should we express Jesus’ love and go quiet on some truth? These 2 short letters contend for both. “Grace, mercy and peace… will be with us in truth and love” (2 John 3). We’ll find a noble woman whose children are “walking in the truth” (2 John 4). And we’ll meet Gaius, famous for his love (3 John 6). In this short 2-week series, we’ll encounter real people, real followers of Jesus, real issues of sticking to the truth and living out Jesus’ love.

    The Life of the World to Come

    “…We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.”

    In our final sermon on the Nicene Creed, Luke helps us to understand what the final words of the Creed mean. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Revelation 21:1-5, Luke helps his listeners to see that the resurrection of the dead is a part of God’s plan and that with it in mind we gain purpose. In revelation we get a taste of the world to come and the hope we can experience now as we look for these events.

    What we believe matters, if we believe what the word of the Nicene Creed encapsulate, we will find hope, encouragement and purpose in our lives.
