The Kingdom of God, part 2

Feb 9, 2025    David Edmonds

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the contrast between living for God and living for worldly pleasures. The central theme revolves around Proverbs 3:5-8, reminding us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding. We're urged to place our spiritual life above worldly desires, recognizing that the devil often tempts us with an 'if it feels good, do it' mentality. This hedonistic approach to life is contrasted with God's call for discipline and self-denial. The message draws interesting parallels between modern society's pursuit of pleasure and the biblical warnings found in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 about the characteristics of people in the last days. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to evaluate our own lives and consider whether we're truly living for God or merely seeking momentary pleasures that ultimately leave us empty.
