Ordered Loves

Sep 14, 2025    Matt Schiesser

In this message, Pastor Matt addresses the sobering events of recent weeks and reflects on the life and death of Charlie Kirk. He shows how Kirk’s bold witness serves as a modern reminder that biblical truth still costs something. From there, the sermon explores Augustine’s vision of the “right ordering of loves” — placing faith in God first, family second, and nation third. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Matt calls us to orient our lives around Christ, to love our closest neighbors well, and to receive our nation as a providential gift without turning it into an idol.
