Today, Waynesville member, Roger Starnes, Jr. provided his lesson entitled, “Worldly Pursuits” and began showing what John tells us in 1 John 2:15-17.

The lesson begins with what we tend to find “beautiful”… people, cars, houses, fame, power, or wealth. How can we defeat this human trait? By focusing on other things that are better for us and less about the bad things. The best part of this is that God will both protect us and fight for us! But we have to be wary of our heart, looking at the temporary satisfaction we may get and to lean on Christ for strength.

One of our worst traits may be to have covetousness and have trouble focusing on who to please, us or God? We have to put some things out of our minds to try to win a crown for eternity!

You can hear the lesson or follow along with the slides from the lesson below.
