Wednesday Prayer | Do Not Be Conformed to This World | Pastor Joel Sims
Posted by Jay Horne in All Podcasts on August 12, 2026
In this episode, Pastor Joel Sims continues with Part 2 of our Romans chapter 12 study, Do Not Be Conformed to This World. In this message, we explore what it looks like to live as a disciple of the Lord rather than being conformed to the world. We examine what Scripture means by “the world” and the things that draw us away from God, as described in 1 John 2:15–16—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—and consider the temporary nature of the things of this world.
