Covenant Grace

Rev. Stone continues with a powerful third message in the Kirk's summer sermon series, The Good Life - Relating to God and People Through the Ten Commandments. In this second part we learn how to apply the first commandment to our lives. We discuss three prevailing idols: pleasure/comfort, approval of others, power & control. How can these idols be dismantled? 1. Acknowledge the problem, 2. Starve the idols through the means of grace (the Word, prayer, sacraments, relationships with God's people. 3. Replace with new affection for Jesus Christ. Look to Jesus for comfort, approval and power.
