Sermons About Idols
How to Be Rich: Finding Freedom (Matthew 6:16-18)
In this day and age, most people are striving for more…a better job, a larger house, a flashier car, and the list goes on. There is more to life than chasing that elusive carrot that dangles so temptingly in front of you. Discover how to be truly rich, with what you already have. In our “get it now” culture, fasting reminds us to focus on Jesus. While we fast we are drawn away from the provision and toward the provider.

How To Be Rich: Counterfeit Gods (Matthew 6:5-15)
In this day and age, most people are striving for more…a better job, a larger house, a flashier car, and the list goes on. There is more to life than chasing that elusive carrot that dangles so temptingly in front of you. Discover how to be truly rich, with what you already have. When we examine how we use our time and money, we can identify areas that we have replaced God with an idol. Here is the list of questions Josh shared tonight to discern your idols: What do I worry about the most? What if I failed or lost would it make me not want to live? What do I do to cope or feel better? What do I think most easily about? What preoccupies me? What do I daydream about? What makes me feel the most self worth? What do I want to be known for? What prayer unanswered would seriously make me think about turning away from God? What is my hope for the future? What are the clear paths of disobedience in my life?

Only One Love To Give
Evidence of the gospel's power in a person's life is found not only in the presence of things that were not formerly there, such as faith and hope, but also in the diminishing presence and elimination of things that don't belong. John writes in his first epistle that we are to not love the world or the things in the world (1 John 2:15-17). This message takes a look at what John meant, and why our love for God necessarily calls us to escape the idolatries that come with loving the things of this life.

Worship - Treasure
Why is God so interested in being in the position of glory? Why does He insist on being worshiped? Tonight we want to look at Jeremiah 2 to find the answer to these questions.
