- Speaker Ryan Baitzel
- Category Idolatry: Roots
- Series Idolatry: Roots
What is a good definition of sin? (essentially means missing the mark of bringing glory to God, of obedience to God, or service to God… in that big circle, we see words like transgressions, corruption, and idolatry)
Read Matthew 22:37-40
What does Jesus calls us to do? Why is that hard? In what ways is this easy?
What is Idolatry? (is the worship, and love of something and we place that on the throne where only God should sit, and what we do, in our lives is we degod God)
What is the result of idolatry in our lives? (it will rap roots around your heart, that sprout fruits of sin, destruction and loss in your life)
What do you hope God will do in your life over the next couple of weeks? (our hope is to grab the sin by its, idolatrous root… and pull it up)
Read Romans 1:18-20
What doe sit mean that man is without excuse?
What is the height of God’s creation? (man)
Read Romans 1:22-25
What does man do in his foolishness? Does this exalt or lower man? God?
How has God wired us? (unceasing outpouring worshiper) what does this mean for our day to day lives? What dangers does this present?
Why is believing that another person other than God can complete you, why is that dangerous? What would it hurt? How is that ultimately destructive in the lives of two different people?
2 Samuel 13:1-3:11-15
What happens when you idolize love? What could it do to your relationships? Your thoughts? Your focus? Ryan pointed out idolizing love can make you a (bitter angry perverted person)
In what ways does false worship destroy you?
Read Romans 1:24-28
Where does idolizing love eventually lead? (divorce and being unequally yoked)
Read Genesis 29:35 how did leah ultimately topple her idol of love?
