Sermons About Idols
Wise Up Your Work
Losing sight of who God is comes easy. We make him look like us instead of who he really is. We want to control God. What we really need is to simply experience God, the real God.

American Idols
No one thinks they are an idolater. Irreligious people think they cannot be idolaters because they don't worship any gods. Religious people think they cannot be idolaters because they only worship one god. Both groups are wrong. And both groups are filled with idolaters. Listen in as we learn about human idolatry and Yahweh's response as recorded in the book of Judges.

A Christ-Centered Gospel for A Me-Centered World
Do you relate to God on His terms (i.e. the gospel) or your terms (i.e. religion)? When we really get that a right relationship with God is only possible His way, that changes everything about how we relate to Him and to others.

Murder in the Church
Sadly churches are often filled with conflict. These conflicts flow out of worldly wisdom and unrestrained desires. But God's grace is more than sufficient to restore relationships among those who humble themselves.

Jeremiah In The Midst of Suffering there is hope
The Lord God is the one true God and the Israelites had forgotten their one true love,Their sin led them to captivity and sin still does the same to us today. We are clay in the hands of the potter, are we allowing him to transform us and make us into the image he wants us to be. In the midst of suffering there is hope. The messiah was on the horizen in the midst of the Israelites suffering. That is what Paul knew. To live is Christ and to die is gain. No matter what we face in this world we have hope in Christ.

When Right is Wrong - Part 1
What does it take to be community? What does a community of Christ followers look like? What will that kind of community be known for in their city, on their planet? These questions are answered when God deals with a rather strange conflict over eating meat. Nope, it’s not a call by God to become vegetarian. It’s a deeper call to self-giving love.

Origins: Failing in Faith
When I first became a Christian, I had a tendency to lift Godly men to an unrealistic level, almost like an idol. There is danger in idolizing our heroes, because it creates a distance between them and us. We compare ourselves to our heroes instead of finding hope in the gospel alone.

2 Samuel 2:12-3:39 - Promise Rules
David is still waiting on God to fulfill His promise of a kingdom. He has shown humility in inquiring of God (2:1-8) about where the kingdom show start out. Now Abner has set up Ish-bosheth as the king of Judah in a rebellious move. This passage (2:12-3:39) shows the failure of Abner and Joab in their attempts set up a kingdom contrary to God's. We will look at 3 wrong ways to seeking God's kingdom, and then will be encouraged to trust that God's promises will prevail over the desires of men. This will encourage us to always seek God's Kingdom in Chirst first before all others. (Matthew 6:33)

Psalm 121
When we come to God all our problems are solved… Right? When we embark on relationship with the Almighty, one thing we can absolutely count on is that all our problems, all our “issues” all the hard parts of life get solved, smoothed out… dealt with. And should we find pain or difficulty or suffering in our lives? That’s a sure sign that God has left us, has rejected us, is in fact punishing us…

Acts 17:16-34 - Turning from Idols
The Apostle Paul traveled to Athens, where he was immediately troubled by all of the idols that he saw in town. He began to share the Gospel with the people and debated with the Epicureans and the Stoics. He was then brought before the local heads of philosophy at Mars Hill and preached the Gospel to them, explaining how God had created all people and He now wanted all people to turn from their useless idols and trust in Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. We can think it strange that people would bow down to stone statues but we all have things in our lives like possessions, relationships, comforts, and pleasures, that we devote ourselves to and expect to make us happy and content instead of our relationship with God, and we need to turn from these idols and trust in Christ for our salvation and satisfaction.

Resisting Idolatry Like Jesus
Paul connects idolatry and sin in a way that shows the sin in our life proceeds from our idols. That which we hold in highest esteem and devote our time and energy to is our idol(s). The human heart is an 'idol factory' capable of turning anything good (children, important work, sex, etc...) into idolatry.
