Big Idea: Worshipping God Truly Means Destroying My Idols Completely
Exodus 32:1-29
How To Destroy My Idols:
1) Detect them (v. 1-6)
“They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped a metal image. They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. Therefore, he said that he would destroy them - had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.”
-Psalm 106:19-23
