Not Of This World
Pastor Matt Haflett

John 17:13-19

1. Not as it’s supposed to be.
• Jesus’ final earthly prayer was for us.
• The sin of man has separated creation from God.
• As Christians, this world is not our home.
2. The enemy’s control (1 John 5:19)
• This world is turned upside-down, promoting life to oppose the bible, and Jesus warned of this. (John 16:1-2)
• We are encouraged that the Word has warned us of this, because we know that God has a plan for it all.
• We accept God calling on our lives knowing it will be hard, prepared by the Word for what we will face. (John 13:33)
3. Be Renewed. (Romans 12:2)
• Be intentional about being in the Word. Make it a point to attend church and other gathering with fellow Christians. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
• The Christian life was meant to be lived with others.
• The world is opposed to the way Jesus calls us to live. We must fight back through His Word, prayer, and gathering.
