In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at the idol of dreams. Like many other things that become idols in our lives, dreams can be good things that become idols when we turn them into ultimate things. When we make our dreams ultimate, we tend to bulldoze over people to get what we want, neglect our most important God-given callings and destroy relationships in the wake of pursuit. The true and sad reality is that even if we attain the goals of our dreams, whether a career, a relationship or an accolade, idols never deliver what they promise. Thankfully, Jesus died and resurrected to set us free from our idols. God has a better dream for our lives than we can ever muster up on our own. Whether or not we achieve our own dreams, God truly satisfies when we make Him our ultimate.
