Message outline
Idolatry stems from our impatience and need for control.
Redirecting idolatry back to God isn’t possible.
Prayer should be our first resort , not our last .
When we turn away from God, our covenant relationship with Him needs restored.
When people sin around us, we should still seek God’s mercy for them.
Even when we do wrong, God wants to do good for, among, and through us.

In brief, all idolatry tries to minimize the gulf between the Creator and his creatures, in order to bring him under our control.
