Lust - 1 John 2:15-17 - Brent Van Sickle - VII Deadly Sins: Misguided Pursuits of Happiness
Description
Where do you seek out intimacy, attention, and affection? Our desire for connection can often lead us down a path on which we are focused on our own self-gratification and pleasure, even at the expense of others. This teaching on lust, the next of the seven deadly sins we are studying, examines the misguided pursuit of love and looks at how we can experience the relationships with God and others that we were actually meant to have.

1 John 2:15-17
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
