Beginning Sunday, June 5 @ 10:30 a.m.
Many years ago, in Old Testament times, God told His people, "You shall have no other gods before me". This was the first of the 10 Commandments. It was the first because God knew that the only way He could save them and reconcile them was for them to remain in relationship with Him.
Over the next 1400 years here's how the relationship between God and His people went...
...They began to worship other gods and God would allow suffering and hardship to come upon them
...They would return to God and He would forgive them
...They would again begin to worship other gods and God would allow suffering and hardship to come upon them
...They would return to God and He would forgive them
And it pretty much went that way until, at just the right time, God sent His Son, Jesus. This changed everything! He offered forgiveness once and for all, for all people, for all time! All people had to do was believe and follow Him.
But one thing about humanity didn't change...
...We still kept giving in to the temptation to worship other gods...to worship idols instead of the One, True God. And people are still worshipping idols today, in all parts of the world, maybe even in your home!
Join us this summer as we look at some of the gods...idols...that God must battle in order to win our hearts and lives.
