World at War, pt. 4 - Disembodied Technology and Distraction

Passage: Phil 3:8, 10; Heb 10:25

A technologically driven world leads to the idolatry of busyness. It also dissolves human connection. We can’t lose what makes us special: each other.

Key Takeaways:

• Busyness has become our idol; if we aren’t producing or advancing, culture says we’re falling behind.
• The worst side effect of technological advancement is the destruction of human connection.
• Many things in life are good, but only one thing is truly important—Jesus.
• Making Jesus your everything is a group project; it doesn’t succeed without human connection.
• We have willingly traded relationship and fellowship for solitude and screens.
• None of us was meant to be an island; God designed us for fellowship.
• Streaming and remote connection should never take the place of the full fellowship of believers.
• Satan works in isolation—and that isolation is never more dangerous than when he has convinced us we are supremely connected.
