The Things that Own us

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the idols in our lives - those things that capture our attention and devotion more than God. The sermon draws from 1 John and Exodus, reminding us that God commands us to have no other gods before Him. This isn't because He's selfish, but because He knows that misplaced worship leads to destruction. We're invited to consider: What wakes us up in the morning? What do we fear losing most? What do we daydream about? These questions help us identify our idols. The message emphasizes that while everyone worships something, only Jesus can truly satisfy our deepest longings and bear the weight of our devotion. As we journey through life, let's be vigilant in keeping ourselves from idols, remembering that our ultimate identity and security are found in Christ alone.
