550 // Church Hurt and Healing: Intro to 3 John's Lesson on Hospitality and Control

Clothed in Grace

Clothed in Grace is inspired by Colossians 3:12–17, where the Apostle Paul encouraged the believers in Colossae to stand firm in their faith during a time of false teaching, cultural pressure, and spiritual confusion. Rather than chasing new philosophies or trying to earn God's approval, Paul reminded them that they were already chosen, holy, and deeply loved in Christ. Using Paul's powerful picture of "putting on" mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and above all, love, this song brings his words to life as a heartfelt prayer. It reminds us that following Jesus is a daily choice to wear the character of Christ, let His peace rule our hearts, allow His Word to fill our lives, and represent Him with gratitude in everything we do. Just as Paul's message strengthened the early church, Clothed in Grace is an invitation for believers today to remain rooted in Christ and reflect His love in a world that desperately needs Him.   Learn more about the Daily Bible Podcast and our exciting out-of-the-box ministry at www.YourJesusJourney.com [http://www.YourJesusJourney.com]

555 // Stop Texting, Start Talking: John's Timeless Truth About Real Connection

What does a sincere "thank you" from an Apostle have to do with your motivation today? 🤝 We wrap up 3 John by exploring the power of encouragement and endorsement in verses 12-15. Learn why the Apostle John—a living link to Jesus—goes out of his way to praise Demetrius and stand up against the church bully Diotrephes. This final section offers two vital lessons: how to build a reputation that has a "good report... from the truth itself," and why face-to-face conversation is irreplaceable for building real community. We challenge you to put down the phone and prioritize real talk to build lasting trust and connection in your Christian life.   Dig into the Bible Study Guide that goes along with this episode: https://www.yourjesusjourney.com/post/3-john-12-15-endorsed-by-an-apostle-who-was-with-jesus [https://www.yourjesusjourney.com/post/3-john-12-15-endorsed-by-an-apostle-who-was-with-jesus]   Learn more about our exciting out-of-the-box ministry at: www.YourJesusJourney.com   Did you know... we create awesome in-depth Bible Study Guides to go along with every podcast episode?   Sign up to get them for FREE 👉🏻 Get our FREE in-Depth Bible-Study Guides delivered to your inbox: https://forms.wix.com/r/7330608166566101604   Remember, this is the audio version of our live, interactive video podcast which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@YourJesusJourney

553 // Are You Giving to the Right Place? The Two Kinds of Generosity God Wants

Do you know God calls believers to two fundamentally different kinds of generosity? 🎁 In 3 John 5-11, we find a powerful distinction that can revolutionize your giving! We explore the "two sides of Christian giving": general charity (loving everyone) versus strategic partnership (enabling the work of the Gospel). Discover the model of Gaius, who was praised for his hospitality to traveling missionaries—an act of strategic giving that made him a true "co-laborer in the truth." We contrast this with the proud, selfish ambition of Diotrephes, a church leader who refused to support ministry. Learn why supporting those who teach God's Word is a vital act of partnership, not just a random act of kindness, and how you can actively share in the mission of the Gospel today.   Dig into the Bible Study Guide that goes along with this episode: https://www.yourjesusjourney.com/post/3-john-5-11-two-sides-of-christian-giving [https://www.yourjesusjourney.com/post/3-john-5-11-two-sides-of-christian-giving]   Learn more about our exciting out-of-the-box ministry at: www.YourJesusJourney.com   Did you know... we create awesome in-depth Bible Study Guides to go along with every podcast episode?   Sign up to get them for FREE 👉🏻 Get our FREE in-Depth Bible-Study Guides delivered to your inbox: https://forms.wix.com/r/7330608166566101604   Remember, this is the audio version of our live, interactive video podcast which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@YourJesusJourney
