Fourth Sunday in January 2026

Summary

The sermon addresses the danger of idolatry, emphasizing that turning to anything other than God for salvation and support is futile and burdensome. Using biblical examples such as the Galatians' return to legalism and the Israelites' golden calf, the preacher highlights how idols, whether physical or metaphorical, cannot carry or save us. Instead, the faithful are called to trust in the one true God who carries His people from birth to old age. The message warns against worshiping blessings or material things rather than the God who provides them.
