When the Israelites are waiting in the wilderness for Moses to come back down from Mt Sinai, they get restless and anxious. They take matters into their own hands and fashion their own golden god by melting down their earrings and their grandmother's candlesticks. 

Why are we like that? What makes us forget who we are the minute we get anxious and worried? How can we build up our resilience to protect ourselves from idols?

The sermon was delivered by Rev. Marci A. Glass on October 6, 2024.

The scripture reading was from Exodus 32:1-14.
