Serving is not about filling gaps or meeting expectations; it is about stewarding the gifts God has given for the good of others. When believers move from consuming to contributing, from criticizing to taking ownership, and from casual involvement to committed service, the church grows as God intends. Every part matters, and every gift has a purpose in building up the body of Christ. This message calls the church to recognize the real need and respond with faithful obedience.

3 John may be brief, but it packs a lasting charge: be faithful like Gaius, discerning like John, and exemplary like Demetrius. We learn how everyday obedience inspires others, how partnership resources gospel work, and why discernment protects the church from prideful disruption. Take a practical step this week—serve, give, host, encourage—and help the truth run freely in our community.
