Yukon Sermons

Derek Chapin wraps up the series on Proverbs, walking through Proverbs 8. He highlights how Wisdom is personified Proverbs, how Christ is that Wisdom of God, and just as Lady Wisdom cries out to all who will hear, Christ calls all of us to repentance, life everlasting, and invites us to know the Wisdom of God, which is himself.

Derek Chapin gives a refreshing introduction and guide to Wisdom Literature in the Bible, showcasing the mosaic of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, and Song of Solomon to show the various aspects of wisdom that ultimately culminate in Christ, the Wisdom of God.

Derek Chapin continues the series on Proverbs, expounding Proverbs 7. He describes what lust is, why it's a problem, what's under it, and what we should do with it. He gives the gospel reminder that we can give our sinful lust to Jesus, "who gave himself for our sins."

Due to technical difficulties with the audio from Frontline Yukon's sermon on October 4, we have pulled the same sermon topic as delivered by Josh Kouri at Frontline Downtown. Continuing the series in the Proverbs, Josh Kouri teaches on the sin of sloth and the virtue of diligence. Sloth is not just laziness, but the abandonment of faith, hope, and love. Jesus offers us a higher way of living by exemplifying diligence and inviting us to leave the sin of sloth behind us.

This passage warns against the foolishness of greed and extols the wisdom of generosity, displayed most fully and gloriously in the condescension of Christ, who "though he was rich, yet for [our sakes] became poor."

This sermon teaches that gluttony is not merely overeating but allowing food, drink, or other comforts to replace God in satisfying deeper longings, and that true self-control comes not through self-denial alone but through returning to Jesus as the only one who can truly satisfy us.

Anger itself isn’t always sinful, but because our loves are often disordered, wisdom calls us to be slow to anger by examining what we love, looking to God’s patience and mercy toward us, and receiving Jesus’ gentle forgiveness so that we can extend that same patience to others.

The sermon exposes envy as a distrust of God’s goodness that robs us of joy and love, and calls us toward contentment by fixing our eyes on Jesus, trusting his promises, and finding our ultimate satisfaction in him rather than what we lack.

Continuing our series in the Proverbs, Josh Kouri exhibits the warnings of pride, the first and essence of the seven deadly sins, and its trappings against the promises of humility, the first and essence of the seven heavenly virtues, ultimately showing the path of humility as demonstrated by Jesus, emptying himself to take on the form of a servant.
