Priorities: Pilgrimage over Partisanship
Priorities (Part 4)
Genesis 12:1-4 & Philippians 3:7-14
Sunday, February 1, 2026
To be a Christian is to journey toward Jesus: to be on a pilgrimage toward a life that is more and more centered on and shaped by his example and his call to love God and to love our neighbor. A pilgrimage is hard work and riddled with doubt and uncertainty, which is what makes partisanship so alluring to us. Partisanship promises righteousness without sacrifice and victory without compromise. But partisanship drains the soul, while pilgrimage transforms it.
Bryant Anderson preaching.
Current Series: Priorities
In the introduction to his podcast, Russell Moore speaks of "holding fast to what really matters": kingdom over culture wars, truth over tribalism, pilgrimage over partisanship, sanity over cynicism, witness over winning, and Christ over everything. As we begin a new year, we reflect on how to set (or re-set) our priorities so that our hearts and lives are directed toward things of lasting importance—no easy feat in this chaotic world.
