Paradise Lost
In this thought-provoking sermon on 1 Kings 11, Pastor Zack delves into the fundamental issue of perverse loves and sinful passions that plague humanity. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 and James 4, he emphasizes that our biggest problem is not merely rational but rooted in misplaced affections. Pastor Zack explores how enculturation shapes our desires and how the structure of our daily lives and worship practices can either nurture or distort our loves. He challenges us to examine our own hearts, the liturgies we engage in, and the appetites we cultivate.
Addressing contemporary issues, Pastor Zack warns against the dangers of tolerance that leads to moral compromise. He urges us to consider the legacy we leave through our relationships and discipleship, reminding us that obedience to God is not optional. Highlighting the ultimate example of Jesus Christ, who took upon Himself the sins of the world, Pastor Zack calls us to repentance and faithful living. Join us as we confront the idols of our hearts and realign our passions with the will of God.
