What happens when people reject God’s authority? Judges 17–18 reveals a shocking truth: they don’t stop worshiping—they just make their own gods. Micah, an Israelite, created his own version of religion with idols, personal priests, and rituals that looked spiritual but had nothing to do with God.

False religion is always appealing because it’s convenient and comfortable. It offers the appearance of faith without the commitment of obedience. The Israelites thought they could worship their way, on their terms, but their homemade gods led them further from the truth.

This episode exposes the four key traits of false religion and why they are just as common today. Many people seek religious experiences without surrendering to God’s authority. They want spiritual guidance, but not from the true and living God. Are you following God's Word, or are you shaping faith to fit your preferences?

Learn how to recognize the difference between true worship and empty rituals. Be challenged to stand firm in biblical truth, rather than cultural trends. If you want to worship God the right way, this lesson will help you stay on course.
