Christ Church (Moscow, ID)

Preacher: Toby SumpterGuilt is what makes us afraid, and fear of God’s judgment keeps us locked in a cage. But Jesus was crucified to take all of our guilt. He was crucified to break us out of that prison. Therefore, God is for us. And we cannot be afraid anymore.

Preacher: Toby SumpterText: Job 28:12–29:2It has become increasingly common to hear Christians refer to “wisdom” as though it were some esoteric, mystical quality, as though it were subjective, relative, or simply some kind of Zen power. But while the wisdom of God does confound the wisdom of men, it is not irrational or incoherent. Wisdom is the art of obedient building. In the beginning God built the world out of nothing with wisdom (Prov. 8:22ff). Wisdom builds her house (Prov. 9:1), and by wisdom a house is built (Prov. 24:3). The queen of Sheba was amazed by Solomon’s wisdom and the house he had built (1 Kgs. 10:4, 2 Chron. 9:3). The wise man hears the words of Jesus and obeys and so builds his house on the rock (Mt. 7:24, Lk. 6:48).

Preacher: Douglas WilsonText: Eph. 6:19–20One of our generation’s hackneyed cliches is the one about “speaking truth to power.” The problem with it is that we almost always get everything backwards, and use the phrase to describe anyone who says something that you agree with. But despite our misapplication of it, there really is an important truth there, and it is one we need to learn. What is boldness when it counts?

Preacher: Douglas WilsonThe gospel advances through a cloud of misunderstanding. Whenever a remarkable event happens, including events of any spiritual significance, rumors start to fly, people start to talk, and the inaccuracies start to multiply.

Preacher: Ty KnightWant a clue of what your idol may be? Consider what you have to keep propping up. What keeps toppling over and you have to—1, 2, 3,—hoist up your public image back on its pedestal, self-brag about your grades or your business success, prop up your kids sporting ability, that might be your idol.

Preacher: Ben ZornesText: Luke 12:32Where do you find comfort? Distraction? Netflix serves up a seemingly endless supply of that. More data? Every day there’s a new study warning of this or that danger related to the pandemic, or brain eating amoebas. Politics? Well there was a food fight on national TV the other night, a Supreme Court vacancy, and a president fallen ill. Booze? The end of the bottle will come sooner or later. Where is your comfort?
