The Absurdity of Misplaced Trust

from Foothills Church (Audio) · host Pastor Brian Long

God alone is our Rock and there is no other. God reaffirms His unchanging commitment to His people, promises to pour out His Spirit on us and our children, and exposes the absurdity of trusting in anything other than Him. The message challenges us to identify modern idols in our lives—ambition, sexuality, politics, self-worship, technology, and even family—that we may be asking to bear the weight only God can carry. Ultimately, we are invited to return quickly to our Redeemer when we wander, resting in His sovereign grace that has already swept away our sins like morning mist.
