Living Anti-You: Standing Firm Against the Antichrist

So live an anti you life this week. It is not about you. It is not about what you want. It's not about when you want it, how you want it, where you want it. It's about Jesus. Jesus, what do you want in my life? What do you want? You want me to be single? Do you want me to be married? Do you want me some of us are praying for more finances, but we haven't been faithful in the finances that he's given us. Some of us want that corner office in our career, but we haven't found contentment in what he's given us today. It's not about you. It's about Jesus. It's all about Jesus.

And when you answer the question, what is important in your life, what's lurking in the shadows behind what is important is a whole list of values. What are what are the values that are leading you to answer the question, what is important? Because how you answer those questions will determine ultimately where you're going to end up. And maybe you've been in places like I've been. Like, I never intended to be here. How did I get here? Well, it was the choices that I made that I thought were important to me at the time, but I actually made decisions that were immediate and urgent that led me to somewhere I I never intended to be.

how do I make sure I don't give in to the spirit of the antichrist? By living an anti Kyle way of life. What's your name? Put anti before your name. That is what God is calling you to live. Kyle is you have died to yourself. You're to be opposed to yourself. And Jesus says, let me live in place of you. [00:31:08] (26 seconds)  #LiveAntiYou

Maybe you've heard this quote, sin will take you farther than you wanna go, It'll keep you longer than you wanna stay, and it'll cost you a whole lot more than you ever you ever intended to pay for. So what's James saying? Each person is tempted and dragged away. When you give in to what you want, when you want it, how you want it, the pleasures of this world, you get dragged away.

Jesus, these are words of grace. He loves you. He doesn't want you to go down roads that are gonna bring about pain and hurt. You might have heard this saying, choose your hard. Choose your difficult. Following Jesus is hard. It is difficult, but in the end, it is so much better, so much more joy and peace and contentment. Or you can choose the heart of this world and what this world has to offer. You will be constantly chasing it. [00:29:42] (30 seconds)  #ChooseYourHard

Sin comes from three sources. Oftentimes, we wanna focus on Satan, and the devil made me do it. But most sin comes from my flesh. I don't need any external sources because I'm just I'm broken. It's called the old nature. It's pride. It's arrogance. It's what we're all born into. It's the sinful nature of mankind. So that's one source of sin. [00:02:40] (28 seconds)  #SinFromFlesh

But just because you sin, don't blame Satan on that one. Don't blame Satan on that one. Right? Let's take some personal responsibility for the decisions that we make. Satan is not in every corner. Just because you got a flat tire at work this week and heading to work, it's not Satan's fault because you rolled over a nail. Okay? So we we wanna put demonic forces in its proper perspective on this. [00:03:48] (25 seconds)  #OwnYourChoices

So as we look at the text, as we look at this from a personal perspective today, I wanna ask you the question, what's really important to you? Maybe there's some space there in your notes. Just be thinking, what is most important in my life? What are the things that I I want in my life? What are the things that are important to me? Not the things that are immediate and urgent. Because the world speaks in the immediate and urgent language. Jesus speaks in what is important. [00:05:10] (30 seconds)  #WhatMattersMost
