3 John 1

Verse 1-4: When you were in school, what were your report cards like? Was there a lot of joy, anxiety, or indifference to them?

In your circle of influence, do you find yourself surrounded by spiritually mature brethren or immature? What is the sign of maturity in a Christian’s life? How can we spur one another to maturity?

Verse 5-8: What would you consider your calling in life? Do you think you have a calling? How would you know?

What would cause Christians in the early church to help people they would never meet? What is our responsibility in the ministry?

If you could be in charge of your church’s resources, how would you use those resources?

Verse 9-10: What are some ways pride can tear apart a church? Do you think pride is an issue in your church?

How can we deal with conflict in a church? Do you think a healthy church has conflict? Why do you think churches have fallout?

Verse 11-12: Have you ever had a brother, sister, or friend that always wanted to imitate you? How did that make you feel?

In order to imitate good, we must see good. Is there anyone you imitate? If people wanted to imitate you, what would they be like? Would you be proud of people who imitated you?
