The sermon titled "Comfort Food," preached by Darvin Pruitt, addresses the crucial theological topic of comfort derived from the gospel of Christ, centered in 1 Thessalonians 4:18, which exhorts believers to "comfort one another with these words." Pruitt articulates the argument that true comfort comes not from worldly thoughts or sentiments but from the promises of God revealed in Scripture, specifically focusing on the resurrection hope articulated by Paul. Key Scripture references include 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, which speaks to the resurrection of believers and the return of Christ, emphasizing that these truths provide assurance and solace in times of sorrow. The significance of this sermon lies in its attempt to instill the Reformed understanding of election and grace, explaining that the comfort of the gospel is a necessary sustenance for believers, much like "comfort food" addresses physical hunger.
“Preaching is no less than feeding the sheep of Christ.”
“Comfort one another with these words. ... He that heareth you, heareth me.”
“If God be for us, who can be against us?”
“Oh, I want to preach that so bad. I want to be able to set it out there to where it just goes straight to your heart and comfort you.”
