2025-05-04: Pastor Mark Quist – God’s Glory Over Idolatry – God’s Glory Above Personal Freedom

Idolatry… such an old-fashioned notion… Or is it?  Paul says clearly in 1 Corinthians 10 that we are to ‘flee from idolatry.’  How can we identify or recognize an idol in our life?   This short clip takes a look at some questions that can help us get to the heart of our own idolatry.  After answering these questions, I’ve concluded, idolatry is alive and well…

According to Paul, what’s at jeopardy when our hearts and minds are focused on idolatry?  The Glory of God.  Paul ties the Glory of God to our union with Christ and our hearts desire for the Glory of God and more than that, reflecting the Glory of God.  In Chapter 10, Paul highlights three varied engagements that put the Glory of God at risk in our living – sexual immorality, grumbling, and giving in to temptation.  He links these things to the theme of idolatry.  Very interesting.  Looking forward to exploring Paul’s teaching for us in 1 Corinthians 10.

See you Sunday?  Hope so.

Pastor Mark
