This message covers Pastor Matt Wakefield’s sermon on the First Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” He explains that the command is not about God competing with other deities but declaring His exclusive authority. Pastor Matt highlights how modern believers often create “idols” out of good things—family, work, money, or even ministry—when they take God’s rightful place. He emphasizes that anything we depend on for security, identity, or fulfillment apart from God becomes an idol. The message calls the church to wholehearted devotion, warning that divided worship leads to spiritual compromise, but surrender to God alone brings life, freedom, and clarity of purpose .
