1 John 2:12-17

Listen to 1 John 2:12-17

12 I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you.

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

16 For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

17 And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever.

Do Not Love the World Part 2

Damian Kyle

Who do you love, and how do you live, a couple of key questions we’ll explore today on According to the Scriptures as we continue through First John. This would be a good time to look in the mirror and examine our affections to see if they need to be realigned with God’s will! The fact of the matter is there are a good number of people in love with the world, or the things of this world, and that will all pass away one day. But those who do the will of God will live forever.

Do Not Love the World Part 1

Damian Kyle

Life is likened to a vapor in the Bible, and the older we get the more we see how true that is! It sure goes by quickly doesn’t it? And today on According to the Scriptures we would like you to consider who you love! The world, or God and His will for your life! While many are choosing to live for things that are temporary, pastor Damian Kyle will encourage us to consider what lasts forever and invest in that!

That Your Joy May be Full Part 5b

Today on Light on the Hill we’ll be reminded that the things of this world will never truly last or satisfy the soul! What will? Listen and find out.
