Sermon 2, from Unrequited Love: A Tragedy in Four Acts
Sermon Notes
What idolatry isn’t
• Sexual sin
• “Loving good things too much”
Three signs of a sin-sick heart:
1. We forget our rags
A lingering hardness towards God’s grace
2. We abuse God’s riches
A habitual pull towards the immediate and the material
3. We never have enough
A chronic incapacity for thankful contentment
