Frayed Wires: A Warning Before the Spark
In this powerful sermon on 1 Corinthians 10:1–13 and Luke 19, we explore the subtle danger of spiritual presumption. Just like a frayed wire behind a newly painted wall, our spiritual lives can look fine on the outside—complete with baptism, church attendance, and religious traditions—while quietly coming apart underneath.
Paul warns us that privilege is not protection. The Israelites had the cloud, the Red Sea, and spiritual food in the wilderness, yet many still fell. How do we check our own "wires" before the spark? How do we move from a faith of habit to a house of prayer and quiet fidelity?
