Everyday Thing | Exodus 32:1-16

Four Valuable Verbs | Exodus 2:23-3:15

Sermon Summary: 

The first commandment, “You shall have no other gods,” seems like a pretty easy commandment to keep, right? After all, you probably don’t have idols in a shrine that you bow down to every night. But Pastor Josh takes us through the story of the Israelites with the golden calf to see how: a god is not just a physical object, it’s where we find our identity. And where we find our identity is a daily struggle for us to wrestle with. 

  1. All gods demand sacrifices. 

  2. The Israelites viewed YHWH as one of the gods they were to worship. 

  3. God is jealous for his people, not wanting to share them with other gods.

  4. An idol/god is where you find your main source of identity.

  5. We cannot meet God’s demands. But God provided for us the sacrifice he demands: Jesus.
