- From Frogs to Princes (1 John 3:1)

We've been kissed by God! The curse has been broken.
Ephesians 2:1-5/ Colossians 1:12-15/ John 1:10-13

Don't expect the frogs to celebrate or understand.
John 15:18-21/ 1 Peter 4:12-14/ 2 Corinthians 4:4/ John 3:19-21 and 1 John 5:19-20

- The Best Is Yet To Come (1 John 3:2-3)

The most amazing thing about heaven is not what we'll get.
It's what we'll become. Matthew 6:19-20/ Revelation 21:3-5/ John 14:1-3
Romans 8:17-18/ 1 John 3:2/ 2 Corinthians 3:18/ 2 Thessalonians 2:14-15

Frogs continue in sin.
A prince has the desire and power to fight it off.

He knew full well that some of us would turn our back on it.
1 John 2:2/ John 1:10-13

Overcoming sin is a life-long process and battle.
Romans 7:18-25

We have been given everything we need.
2 Peter 1:3-4/ 1 Corinthians 10:13

We have to be willing to do our part.
2 Peter 1:5-11
