THE BODY will challenge your conceptions of both what you should get out of your local body, and what you are required to bring with you. Using the text of Third John, this study examines what one can expect to see in a church or assemblage of Christians anywhere.

Extended description

Third John in a commentary on local assemblies of Christians - whether organized as churches or just meeting groups. No one, however, will do well to accept a claim made of Scripture without first perusing and understanding the Scripture in question first. THE BODY examines this epistle, and identifies it as not just a personal charge, but a letter specific to a church to describe specifically what is going on within that church. Since it is understood that all Scripture is useful for teaching, we can understand that Third John tells us what we can expect to see in a church or assemblage of Christians anywhere. It less personally and more corporately charges, "Here is what goes on in church that is right and here is what goes on that is wrong.

This study concludes with a mission statement of sorts for a local body, with the understanding that if your local body is not fulfilling these missions, God's command is to be holy as He is holy, and affect a change.

THE BODY will challenge your conceptions of both what you should get out of your local body, and what you are required to bring with you.
