Download discussion questions:  2 John 1:1-13

This brief letter written by the Apostle John includes both similarities and differences when compared to 1 John.  As you read 2 John, what impression do you get about the relationship of the two letters?  Several books of the New Testament are by the same author and to the same recipients, such as 1 & 2 Corinthians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians.  The order of the books in the New Testament is not always in the sequence of their writing.  Sometimes the books were organized with the longer book first, followed by shorter books.  Does the content of 2 John suggest it was written before or after 1 John?  Do 1 & 2 John appear to be to the same recipients, or to related recipients?  What themes are repeated in 2 John?  What new ideas are introduced?  Join us on Sunday to see what we can learn from a much shorter piece of John’s writing.
