What does it mean to be "locked in"? Gen Z has their own way of describing exclusive commitment — but 1,900 years ago, John was writing to Christians about a far bigger commitment: loving God instead of loving the world.
In this study of 1 John 2:15-27, we look at:
- Why you can't love the world and love God at the same time
- How God-given desires (for food, sex, rest, achievement) get twisted by the world into gluttony, lust, and laziness
- What John actually means by "antichrist" — and why it's not what most people assume
- The difference between "the last hour" and "the last day"
- Why living for eternity makes what you do on earth matter more, not less
We also watch a clip of John Piper's classic sermon on wasting your life — the message that challenges us to trade the American dream of comfort for a life that counts for eternity.
This world is not our home. So how should that change the way we live today?
