Week 3: A God We Can Manage

A God We Can Manage - Week 3 of our Lent Series: A Look in the Mirror

When we fail to find the answer to our brokenness in ourselves, we reach for things of brass.

Many people think of idolatry as an ancient problem - golden statues and pagan temples - but the Bible reveals that idolatry is actually a problem of the human heart.

In Exodus 32, the people of Israel build the golden calf only weeks after witnessing the power and glory of God at Mount Sinai. Instead of trusting the living God, they create a version of God they could control.

In this message from our series, 'A Look in the Mirror', we explore how the same temptation still exists today. The human hearts still tries to reshape God into something manageable - something that allows us to keep religious language and identity without the repentance and obedience that the real God requires.

The problem is... idols have no power to save us. Only the living God can carry the weight of our lives
