Dont Worship The Cow Dude!

If your friends were worshipping a golden cow, would you?

Exodus 32:1

Fear causes us to bow to peer pressure, but what are we afraid of?

• Not being cool?

• Not being happy?

• Losing your friends?

Because they didn’t ‘feel’ God, they looked for an alternative

The people began to give what they had to build their idol?

• Where do you put your time, talents, or treasure?

• They had already broken one commandment…sin begins to pile up

This is YOUR god!! WHAT?? This is YOUR god!!

Is this…your god? LUST MONEY POPULARITY YOUR BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND

• What makes you think He doesn’t care? Think maybe someone is talking to God on your behalf?

There is always someone who cares.

Exodus 32:14

• Moses changed Gods mind this time… would you be this fortunate again?

• Weigh the consequences of your sin …is it worth it?

Exodus 32:35
