In what ways are you more tempted to take the easier, less fulfilled option; rather than trusting God for the full thing?

A garden, a tent, a building, and a body!

God isn't just trying to fix man's problems. He clearly wants to dwell with us. Sin always takes you farther than you want to go, and costs more than you want to pay. No one drifts to holiness. Instead we drift to sin. God wants to dwell with us. What would it look like for you to dwell with God in your daily life?

The golden calf incident

July 23, 2023 • Brian Alaman • Exodus 32, Romans 1:21–25, Matthew 6:33

An idol is anything or anyone that captures our hearts, minds, and affections more than God. How do we identify idols? -What leads and guides our decisions? -What do we run to for comfort, guidance, and value? Are we willing to sin to get it? We can take a good thing and make it a "god" thing and that's a bad thing.

The 10 commandments

Transformation: When our behavior is transformed as a result of our love for God. Behavior modification: When we change our actions but our heart stays the same. God sets them free and THEN gives them the law to protect that freedom. What law do you need to work on being more obedient to?
