Transcript of Church Sermon: How Do I Love Thee?

YOU DELIGHT IN SOMEONE ELSE MORE THAN YOU DELIGHT IN THE LORD. Mark 12:30

YOUR SOUL DOES NOT LONG FOR TIMES OF RICH FELLOWSHIP IN GOD’S WORD OR PRAYER. Mark 12:30

YOUR THOUGHTS IN LEISURE MOMENTS DO NOT HONOR THE LORD. Mark 12:30

YOU MAKE EXCUSES FOR DOING THINGS THAT DISPLEASE THE LORD, CLAIMING TO BE “ONLY HUMAN.” Mark 12:30

YOU STRIVE FOR AFFIRMATION FROM THE WORLD RATHER THAN APPROVAL FROM THE LORD

“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:19

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” I John 2:15–17

Revelation 2:2-4“I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”

“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (Matthew 10:37)

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it. (Matthew 10:38-39)

“Do not love the world or the things in the world….” 1 John 2: 15b
