A faith that puts God second reflects a divided heart where God is first in your words, but not in your life.
Idolatry isn’t just bowing to golden statues; it’s putting anything before God.
God is a jealous God.

Even good things become idols when they take God’s place in your heart.
How Do You Know if Something Is an Idol?
· Does this lead me closer to God or distract me from God?
· Do I rely on this more than God for my comfort, my identity, or my worth?
· If God asked me to give this up, would I give it up without hesitation?

What you resist the hardest
often reveals what controls you the most.

You don’t just remove the idol; you replace it.

http://www.pclifecenter.com/prayerTalk it over
Read 1 Samuel 15:20-22. What stands out to you in these verses? How do they influence your view or understanding of sin?
Read 1 John 5:3-4. Talk about a time when you chose obedience when it was difficult. How did that choice build your relationship with God?
Where are you letting sin whisper its way into your life? Discuss ways you can turn toward God the next time you’re tempted to justify sin.
