I had forgotten this was a season 4 episode, there's something about the sensibilities of it, the humanism, that has carried over from season 3. Except unlike season 3, it's laugh out loud hilarious from start to finish.
Homer rips his pants and so decides to not go to church, setting off a series of events which really don't have a lesson or a theme, despite the show really leaning into the subtext that it will (with a joke at the end by Homer to tie up that bow). There's too many great gags and sequences to name them all, though Homer's unconscious body bouncing off the mattress and back through the bay window is probably my personal favorite.
I also appreciate that the show really emphasizes that the Simpsons are strongly Christian as a family, especially Marge, which is part of what makes this whole show work. They are that culturally conservative, "good" American family, that people in 1990 were still fetishizing because they couldn't tolerate the 60s and 70s actually happening. It mattered that the Simpsons were this, or else they couldn't satirize it.
