Have you ever stopped to consider if your pursuit of earthly comfort is actually competing with your love for the Lord? There is nothing inherently wrong with owning possessions, but when the desire for entertainment and comfort surpasses your desire for God, it crosses a dangerous line into outright idolatry
.
In the highly convicting and urgent Bible class, "Lost Humanity Wants Comforts", Dr. John Barnett exposes Satan’s deadly offer of materialism and reveals God’s ultimate judgment on a self-seeking world.
If you want to evaluate your own heart and ensure you are building a life that will survive the end of the world, you absolutely must listen to this message today.
Here is what you will discover in this essential prophetic study:
The Line Between Possessions and Idolatry (1 John 5): Discover the biblical balance of having "food and raiment and being content". Dr. Barnett explains that while possessions are okay, wanting anything more than God is the exact idolatry of covetousness that the Apostles Paul and John urgently warned believers to beware of.
The Two Faces of Babylon (Revelation 17 & 18): Unpack the crucial difference between these two prophetic chapters. While chapter 17 focuses on Babylon as a religious harlot riding the beast, chapter 18 exposes Babylon as the great city of idols, driven entirely by merchants, kings, and pure materialism.
Jesus’ Ultimate Reality Check: Confront the greatest question ever asked by the Savior: "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?". See how Satan uses the deadly offer of materialism to blind lost humanity.
A Warning from the Epicenter of Empire: Learn why the early church desperately needed this message. Living in the Roman province of Asia—the most glorious, civilized, and self-seeking culture of the empire—believers were challenged by God to stop living for a lust-feeding culture that He promised to burn up entirely.
Choosing What Lasts Forever (1 John 2:15): Dive into the Apostle John’s stark, serious warning: "If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him". Dr. Barnett breaks down how the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life are all passing away, and why only those who do the will of God will abide forever.
Stop investing your time, energy, and love into a world that is destined to burn up in one moment.
Watch "Lost Humanity Wants Comforts" today to break free from the trap of materialism and choose to live for what lasts forever!
