This week Pastor Ron Lewis continues expounding 3 John 2-4.

We also learn how the “prosperity gospel” teachings have taken this verse completely out of context to make it one of their major doctrines that everyone should be financially prosperous and in good health. This is a false teaching we need to be aware of.
