Eliminating Idols
Comments Off on Eliminating Idols, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by COG Webcast.Eliminating Idols from cogwebcast on Vimeo.
Before God reaffirmed the covenant with Jacob it was essential that Jacob, renamed Israel (Prince with God), and his household were “idol free.” When Israel left Egypt, it was with the understanding that the idols of Egypt had been vanquished by the God of their fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Isrealites were leaving behind all the trappings of false worship and embracing the worship of God that He would prescribe when He met them at Sinai. Jeff Patton talks about God’s covenantal purpose in fashioning us, the Israel of God, into His image. So what are the idols in our lives that we must renounce in favour of the worship of the true God?

Jeff Patton takes a look at the question of obedience and it’s relationship to the first commandment in the scriptures. He then relates this understanding to scientific studies that corroborate God’s wisdom in declaring we should have “no other gods (authorities)” in our lives. Why is this so?
