    3 John 1:9-11

    This Sunday, Pastor Stacey Harris continues his Church People series by studying the second of three "church people" outlined in the Third Epistle of John. He calls Diotrephes "the hindering and haughty person," and by examining him, Pastor Harris shows the congregation the destructive, dismal, and devious characteristics of a prideful spirit. Next, he considers how to recognize pride and the way to defeat it when we see it attempt to manifest itself in our own lives.

    3 John 1-14, Focus: 3 John 1-8

    "What is a church person?" This is the question Pastor Stacey Harris asks as he begins a new three week study in Third John entitled Church People. Of the three types of church people outlined by John, Pastor Harris teaches the congregation that each "church person" displays characteristics of all, but embodies one more predominantly than the others. To begin the series he examines Gaius, "the helping person," and outlines the characteristics of such a person within the church by studying his relationships, reputation, and actions.

He says God's children must seek to be constant, concrete, continuous, and convinced.
