2023_02_05 Gods at War: Week 2

Every day they battle for our attention, our time, our resources, our families. Some are easily recognized, others are more subtle as we allow them into our lives. They feed off our true desires, our hunger and wants. We think they bring fulfillment and purpose, but before long they take control, grip us tightly, and convince us that they belong. We find ourselves at war with these gods…surrendering ourselves to the idols of food, sex, money, success, entertainment, comfort, technology, and so much more. As we engage these gods at war, we will learn to recognize the seats of honor we have given the false gods in our lives. This recognition will create the opportunity to turn our hearts back to the one God who loves us unconditionally, to the one who gives us freedom, to the only one that deserves our hearts.

Scripture and Message Notes for the first part of our current series - Gods at War
Week 2 - 1 Kings 18:16-39







Qanna - Hebrew, jealous, demanding exclusive service
Don't expect God to bless his competition!
"But the people said nothing." They did not reply because they wanted "both." The gods of this world, their gods of pleasure AND the LORD God. They didn't want to choose then...and we often don't want to choose today. We can't have it both ways!
They traded the glory of God for an image of an ox that eats grass. Have we made some not so good trades in our lives?
