For example, if I sustain the Flaming Sphere spell, I can use it to damage an opponent. Can I sustain it 3 times per turn, to deal damage 3 times?

Mark Seifter, Designer, has stated on the Paizo forums:
We have it coming in the next errata batch. Sustain a given spell once per round only, unless the spell specifically encourages you to do so more than once like spiritual weapon.

\$\begingroup\$ This is from a few years ago, before the 2nd Core Rulebook printing that contained different changes to what Mark described here which also address the issue. \$\endgroup\$– brandonCommented Mar 7, 2023 at 15:12

Yes
Nothing in Sustain a Spell prevents a character from Sustaining a spell multiple times in a turn.
However, flaming sphere and several other spells intended to provide once per turn benefits were updated to as part of the Core Rulebook errata.
Several sustained spells are meant to provide once per turn benefits when they are sustained, not be used multiple times per turn. In flaming sphere, implosion, unfathomable song, impaling briars, and storm lord add "the first time you Sustain this Spell each round"
