In the final week of Second Altars, we explored how easily our hearts can wander and why Proverbs 4:23 calls us to guard our hearts above all else. Through the example of King Josiah and Jesus’ words to the church in Ephesus, we discovered that wholehearted worship requires intentionally removing idols, returning to our first love, and keeping Jesus at the center of our lives.
In this message, we look at the operating system of our heart and how pressure and desperation can cause us to revert to old patterns of trust and build second altars, just like Israel did with the golden calf. Following Jesus means allowing Him to transform our default responses so that, when life shakes us, we run to God rather than revert to what once made us feel safe.
