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.

    Responding To God

    Greg encourages us to learn from Habakkuk's response to God in the face of a problem he can't fix and God's solution not coming soon enough or in the way he wanted. Trusting God is not always going to be easy and is particularly difficult when our prays are not being answered and the challenges remain, will we still faithfully turn to God and trust in him?
