We wrap up our study in the letters from John with his third note of encouragement that is very personal. John writes to his "beloved" brother and friend, Gaius. It appears Gaius is a leader in the Lord's church. He may also be dealing with many of the issues that John wrote about in the first two letters. However, Gaius has an even pressing problem, Diotrephes. It's a tale of two leaders and leadership styles. 

Please open up your Bible and join us as we look at how to deal with brotherhood issues that are due to the "brothers." This is a letter that confirms the strong (Gaius), denounces the selfish (Diotrephes), and endorses the selfless (Demetrius).   

Thanks so much for joining us in our conversations with the Beloved Disciple.
