Christ Church (Moscow, ID)

Preacher: Douglas WilsonText: Philippians 2:1–5For a number of years now, we have been emphasizing community, life together, fellowship, communion, what the New Testament calls koinonia. The response to this emphasis has been significant—showing that there is a real spiritual hunger for this kind of thing. But there is a hitch—other people are involved. There is always a catch.Some might remember the conclusion of Sartre’s famous play, No Exit, where he said, “Hell is other people.” But we are Christians, and so we are called to affirm, to the emphatic contrary, that Heaven is other people. But a long stretch of road in a fallen world lies in between us and that Heaven.

Preacher: Douglas WilsonText: Isaiah 55:8–9If Satan could successfully get us all to believe one lie, what would that lie be? Is there an aboriginal lie, one that lies at the root of every twisted thought or desire that we might have? And there is a scriptural answer to that question. The assumption behind the first question posed to our first mother contained that foundational lie. The question was, “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Gen. 3:1). The lying assumption was that God was not ultimately good, and that He did not have the best for His creatures in mind.The primeval lie is that God is not to be trusted. The primeval lie is to encourage us to have hard and erroneous thoughts about God.

Preacher: Pastor Toby SumpterAs our community grows and as God blesses, we will face the challenges that come with that. One of the wonderful areas of blessing and growth is all the new business ventures, and so we need to be praying and thinking about the challenges that will come with it. So here are three biblical principles to be meditating on as you do business with one another in the community.
