What do we really love? And how much of our lives are shaped by the things we pursue? In this week's message, Pastor Mark Cooper continues through 1 John 2, looking at the difference between loving the things of this world and truly loving God. It's easy to get caught up in what we own, what we want, and what others think of us. But sometimes, the very things we think we control end up controlling us. John reminds us that the things of this world won't last, but God's promises will. As followers of Jesus, we're called to know the truth, follow God's will, and remain rooted in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Join us as we take a closer look at what it means to love the Father and live a life that reflects Him. **Scripture:** 1 John 2:15–29 Life Foursquare Church | Decatur, Illinois
