Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 3, 2017
Our identity in Christ impacts our activity in the world. In this 4th test of authentic faith in 1 John 2:12-17, Steve Smith preaches that our divergence from the world demonstrates an authentic faith in Jesus. From young to old, loving God and others means we do not commit ourselves to the ways of the world John describes as “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life.” Steve helps define these worldly traps, which are nothing compared to the everlasting joys of knowing Christ, and reminds us that living separate from the world is not about what we own but what owns us. Steve’s message follows a brief introduction of Megan Dirksen, Creekside’s administrative assistant, and announcements about our Food Pantry Donation Day and Christmas program.
