Sermon Overview
Reidhead uses 1 John 2:15-17 to describe the "World" as a system organized to function without God. He explains that a mark of eternal life is a declining interest in the "lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." The believer is described as a "stranger and pilgrim" whose primary treasures and ambitions are found in the Kingdom of God.
Key Principles
Heart's Treasure:Honestly identify what your heart "treasures" most; realize you cannot love both the world and God.
Expulsive Power:Allow your love for Christ to "push out" your love for worldly status and pleasure.
Separation as Devotion:View "separation from the world" as a positive act of love for God, not a negative rule.
Citizen of Heaven: Carry yourself as a "resident alien" on earth, with your true citizenship in the Kingdom.
Citizen of Heaven:Remind yourself daily that you are a "pilgrim" and "stranger"; your true home is the Kingdom.
Cross as Instrument:Use the Cross as the "divider" that separates your ambitions from worldly success.
