Text: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, 2 Tim 3:1-4 Today's focus: Lovers of Self There are times when it helps to look at the opposite of something when trying to understand what is right (2 Corinthians 6:14-18). As Christians do we stand out in a crowd or do we blend in with the world. - The Last Days - a terrible or perilous time - a time of violence Men will have a great love for themselves - People are naturally very concerned about themselves We have a purpose in life: We love God, die to self, and live for him.1) The love of the believer is to be directed - Mark 12:28-31 * Directed not at self but toward the Lord 2) We can show that we are different by denying self - Mark 8:34-36.* This is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit 3) We have a devotion to living for him - 2 Cor. 5:14-15 |
