This sermon delves into the universal human impulse to worship and the consequences of what or who we choose to worship. Drawing from the insights of G.K. Chesterton and David Foster Wallace, the preacher highlights how contemporary society often replaces traditional religious faith with fervent devotion to various ideologies and pursuits. Through vivid examples, such as the worship of money, power, beauty, and intellect, the sermon underscores the inherent emptiness and disillusionment that result from misplaced worship. However, amidst this existential search for meaning, the preacher presents Jesus Christ as the ultimate object of worship, emphasizing his unique resurrection as a definitive sign of God's power and love. By turning to Jesus, individuals can find redemption, restoration, and a deeper sense of purpose that transcends the fleeting idols of the world. The sermon concludes with a call to embrace the transformative power of Easter, recognizing it not only as a joyous celebration but also as a profound affirmation of hope and new life in Christ. Through faith in Jesus, believers can confront the reality of death with courage and assurance, knowing that they are ultimately "only ever mostly dead," awaiting the promised resurrection and eternal life.
