Between April 1930 and June 1934, Watchman Nee published fifty issues of a magazine entitled Notes on Scriptural Messages. The content of these issues came from weekly messages given by Watchman Nee in the church in Shanghai. Although the messages did not form a set series of topics, every one of them involves an exposition of scriptural passages. The following messages are included in Book Three:

• Our Lord’s Sanctifying Himself
• A Few Words concerning the Work in Shanghai
• The Better Blood
• The Love of Christ
• Running the Race That Is Set before Us
• Mary
• Remembering Christmas
• “And Peter”
• In Nothing Be Anxious
• God Is Willing
• David and Mephibosheth
