Idols We Never Knew We Had
Location: the church
Description: Idol worship. That means bowing down to stone statues or golden images of gods, right? No, we all worship something or someone every day. In fact, idolatry is as big an issue today as it has ever been. One could argue that the idol-worship we practice in the United States is more shameful and dangerous than bowing down to carved images because we don’t even realize we’re guilty of it. Join us as we identify many present-day idols and become equipped by God’s Word to avoid falsely worshiping them.

10 Lies About God
Location: fireside chapel
Description: You’ve likely experienced something like this: During a conversation, a person says something about God that just doesn’t sound right. Sometimes you can recognize that the person’s statement is a horrible distortion of the truth. Sometimes you aren’t so sure. “God wants me to be happy.” “I don’t need the Bible or worship to have a relationship with God.” “God helps those who help themselves.” When you take a careful look at those statements, you realize how dangerous they are.
10 Lies About God addresses popular lies about God that people often hide behind to sidestep the truth that there is a God to whom they are accountable, or to avoid admitting the reality that they are sinners who need a Savior. It will help us recognize and respond to these deceptions that keep people from experiencing the peace and joy that comes through forgiveness in Christ. Eight of the ten statements will be studied this fall.
