Session 2: Why Idols (May 13)

Some of the reasons we run to idols...
  • Identity
  • Need
  • Pain

Fear is the agent hired by our idols to keep us attached. Fear itself is not the god; the object of our fear is the god.

Scripture is the recording of God's heart toward His creation -- a creation He knows is prone to be afraid at every turn. He knows our frailty. He knows what causes our blood to run cold. He knows that fear can be our default.

Joshua 1:9 ~ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
