In the sermon this past Sunday, Pastor Jason taught from Genesis 22 discussing how good things can easily become bad idols in our lives. Idols can be anything that we love more or are more devoted to than God. As we learned from Genesis 22, even the good God-given gifts like children or ministries can become idols. As Christians, the essence of our faith is that we have confessed that we trust God more than anything else. That confession plays out functionally when God asks us to lay down things that are important to us. In those moments, we will be like Abraham, and decide if we will fully trust God enough to lay down the things that we love. What is it that you love the most in life? What are the things that you are afraid of losing?What causes you to become angry and defensive?
