    A god is a person/thing occupying the place of preeminence. It is anything/one that dominates your thoughts and emotions (accepting worship) or anything/one that controls your actions (demanding service).

    God’s People, a People of gods God has been calling Jacob to something greater than he can imagine – but change must first happen. Genesis 32 records his point of surrender as he wrestled with the Angel. He was given a new name – yet it didn’t stick, yet. In ch. 33, Jacob is finally able to see ...read more

    Idol Thoughts

     | 3,170 views

    Let us determine to know God and to worship him, not as some idol devised by our own natural preferences, not as many people configure him to be, but as “the book of nature” and the Holy Book together reveal him to be.

    The two passages before us today [Acts 17:22-31 and John 14:15-21] could not be more different from one another. And yet, in some ways, they could not be more similar. In the first one, the one from Acts, we have the Apostle Paul speaking to a group of Gentile skeptics who know nothing of the ...read more

    At its core, the second commandment is a prohibition against creating something with your hands or your heart that either reduces or replaces God.

    In one of our previous churches, one of our members was transferred to another community, and before leaving, he wanted to donate something significant to the church.

    This message opens our eyes to the tragic consequences of idolatry, showing idolatry in 3-D, through the three terms Dispossession, Desolation, and Death.

    I shared with you a few weeks ago that the Lord has impressed me to preach more on the topic of idolatry.
