Scripture

3 John 1:5–8

About this sermon

The gospel compels us to move from being spectators to everyday disciples—3 John 5-8 illustrates how the church is to stand in contrast to the world. We all have a role to play in the movement of the gospel. Jesus is the foundation, the model, and the means of our generosity, and He invites us to join him. Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.
