In this teaching, Pastor Steve Perez explores the concept of modern day idolatry, emphasizing that it extends beyond traditional notions of worshiping statues. He discusses various forms of idolatry prevalent in contemporary society, including materialism, celebrity worship, technology, politics, and self-obsession. Each of these modern idols competes for our devotion and can lead to spiritual emptiness if not addressed. Pastor encourages listeners to reflect on what occupies their hearts and minds, urging them to prioritize their relationship with God above all else. This lesson explores the themes of idolatry, identity in Christ, and the importance of prioritizing God in our lives. He emphasizes the dangers of self-obsession and the need to surrender our lives and relationships to God. Pastor also highlights the significance of finding our identity in Christ rather than in family or personal achievements, and the call to choose God over modern-day idols.
