1 John 2:12-17

Listen to 1 John 2:12-17

12 Little sons, I write to you, that your sins be forgiven to you for his name.

13 Fathers, I write to you, for ye have known him, that is from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, for ye have overcome the wicked. I write to you, young children [I write to you, infants, or young children], for ye have known the Father.

14 I write to you, brethren, for ye have known him, that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, for ye be strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked.

15 Do not ye love the world, nor those things that be in the world [neither those things that be in the world]. If any man loveth the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

16 For all thing that is in the world, is covetousness of flesh, and covetousness of eyes, and pride of life, which is not of the Father, but it is of the world.

17 And the world shall pass, and the covetousness of it; but he that doeth the will of God, dwelleth without end [dwelleth into without end].

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!

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.
