The Passing Shadow of Worldly Desire | 1 John 2:15-17 | Walking in the Light
About this episode
Pastor Mark Groen discusses the implications of loving the world according to 1 John 2:15-17, focusing on worldly desires and the will of God.
What does it mean to love the world — and why does John say we must not? In this week's sermon from 1 John 2:15–17, Pastor Mark Groen works through John's three-part diagnosis of worldly desire: the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life. He names the sins we have made respectable — comfort, acquisition, comparison, self-sufficiency — and then turns to the positive vision of verse 17: whoever does the will of God abides forever. Part of the ongoing series "Walking in the Light" through 1 John at First Reformed Church in Edgerton, Minnesota.
