Christ Church (Moscow, ID)

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?

Preacher: Toby SumpterWorship piles up. Worship grows in concentration of spiritual force. Blessings multiply like compound interest. Worship is our battering ram, and every Lord’s Day we take another swing at the gates of Hades. But every swing is actually heavier, every swing is pulled back a little further. This is because our worship includes the worship of all the saints. From the worship of Abel to Abraham to Israel at Jericho to David to Paul to Augustine to Calvin to Bunyan to Bonhoeffer to our own parents and grandparents, and all of it is offered up in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus.

Preacher: Aaron VenturaText: Deut. 21:10–14

Preacher: Ben ZornesFamilies accumulate habits like a magnet sweeping over metal shavings. When a baby is born—or a child is adopted—into the family, they immediately begin acclimating to those customs. A wise family should be able to point at their traditions and give a good reason for why they do it. Parents should always be ready to give an explanation of the customs to curious minds, and encourage cheerful participation in family customs. All those mottos, chants, and traditions should reinforce unity and loyalty. But they aren’t the source of the unity.
