SHOW NOTES
In Podcast Episode 356, “Becoming Whom You Worship,” Kim discusses the importance of choosing wisely what or whom we devote our reverence, focus, and energy. In today’s passage, we see that the idolatrous Israelites' worship of worthless idols led to them becoming like what they worshipped. Yet, just as worshipping an unworthy object can turn us into what we worship, we can also become more like Christ when we choose to bow down and worship Him.
Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:5-15, with 15 as the focal verse:
15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord’s command not to imitate them.
WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:
If you become whom you worship, who will you be? Would you be proud to be that person?
Additional Resources and Scriptures:
I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
