Preparing for this coming Sunday's message.

I am very excited about this coming Sunday as I continue in the current teaching series:

A Study from the Book of 1 John
 
 
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 
 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.  They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.  Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.   
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.  And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.                                                                                                         1 John 2:15-25
 
 
It is very easy, even when you have made the decision to follow Christ, even when you know that Christ is your Savior, for your love for God to get perverted and redirected into other areas of your life. In this message we will look at the key to keeping our love for God pure and undivided.
 
Check back tomorrow morning for the worship set we have planned.... including a new song for the family at NRN.
