Priorities: Sanity over Cynicism
Priorities (Part 5)
John 15:1-5 & Jeremiah 29:1, 4-11
Sunday, February 8, 2026
To God's people in exile, the prophet Jeremiah gives an extraordinary set of instructions, which basically boil down to: Make yourselves at home. The people believed they had no purpose in the present and no hope for the future, but God insists that fruitful living is possible even in the bleakest circumstances.
Bryant Anderson preaching.
Referenced in this sermon:
- David Brooks, "Time to Say Goodbye" (The New York Times, January 30, 2026)
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.
