Podcasts about idol worship

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS This week, we're talking about a statue that has caused quite an uproar on social media. The statue is made of gold and depicts President Trump. Many are calling this idolatry, just like the golden calf or the golden image made by Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3. Well, is this […]

You might be thinking, why are we doing a part 4 on idol worship? Because it's time to wake up to the reality of the things you are doing to yourself. Yes, there are things that the devil tries to do, but sometimes the enemy doesn't even have to attack you because you are attacking yourself. Sabotaging yourself, feeding the darkness in your life yourself. Yes, you might be your own weapon formed against yourself. Luke 19:10 - 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. Commentary - Sometimes, we are lost and it's not because of the idols. Make sure you are just lost and not a part of, deliberately defying or running away from Jesus. Why, an idol has no power unless we give it power. How, we open the door ourselves to sin and evil. God's warning - Exodus 20:3 says - 3 You shall have no other gods before or besides me. We decide to do the action of coming into agreement with idols and worshipping them. We decide to make bad choices, we decide to be around evil people, things, to get what we think they will give us. It is people who carry out the sin by agreeing to do things. Example – Some people have decided to go to witch doctors and let evil into their lives. Some people are doing witchcraft. It's people who have abused children. Then they cry out for the Lord to help them after killing, stealing and destroying. Yes, idols are a part of things but you have to agree to do the sin, go in debt, have sex outside of marriage, steal someone's things, not pay your bills, spend the money, not study for school exams. These are only some examples. Remember we reap what we have sown. This means what you have done to others, wished against others, prayed against others, it's all coming back to you. Do you have fear of the Lord now? Hosea 4:6 - 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. Revelation 3:10 - 10 Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth. Biblical idol definition - 1 John 5:21 - Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)— [from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. Amen (so let it be). Topics for this week: - We can be our own worst enemy - Know the devices of the enemy - Results of worshipping idols, continued - Removing idol worship from your life This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Luke 19:10, Exodus 20:3, Hosea 4:6, Revelation 3:10, 1 John 5:21, Exodus 32:7-8, John 10:27-28, Isaiah 53:6, 1 Peter 2:25, 2 Corinthians 2:11, Exodus 32:7, John 10:7-11, Isaiah 44:6-11, 1 Corinthians 10:12-15, Zechariah 4:6, James 5:16, Hebrews 13:5-6, 1 Corinthians 10:23-24, Proverbs 24:3-5, Proverbs 24:12, Proverbs 24:14, 1 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 5:12, Leviticus 26:1-14.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Last week we left off talking about idols—specifically, how you cannot serve two masters, the results of worshipping idols, and removing idol worship from your life. It is important to really pay attention here. We can all overlook things that we think are not important. The key is that the things we think are not important may actually matter a great deal. We must train ourselves to see what Jesus thinks is important for us to have or not have in our lives. If we are the only ones evaluating our own lives, and we think we are perfect, we will likely never identify the issues and idols hidden there. Remember, if you want your life to follow Jesus, you need to become a disciple of Christ and do what He says. If you are not following Jesus and obeying all that the Bible says, then you are following idols. If you are not serving Jesus Christ, you are serving other idols. An idol can be anything that takes the place of God as the most important focus and priority in our life.Topics for this week:- You Cannot Serve Two Masters (continued)- Finding Out Who Your God Is- Results of Worshipping Idols- Removing Idol Worship from Your LifeThis program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 5:21, Matthew 6:24, 1 Kings 18:21, Luke 6:43–49, 1 Corinthians 10:6–11, Exodus 20:13–17, Hebrews 12:5–11, Leviticus 26:14–23.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Many people are looking for solutions to their current challenges, trials, and difficult life situations.So many people are desperate to get the things, people, or opportunities they desire that they are willing to do evil—lying, cheating, stealing, controlling others, or even practicing witchcraft—to make things go their way. This is evil. It is coveting, idolatry, addiction, and serving false gods, ungodly statues, altars, shrines, graves, and dead people. It includes offering sacrifices to other gods in an attempt to force, manipulate, or control people, situations, or opportunities.The truth is, if you are doing these evil things, there is always a price to pay. When you serve Jesus Christ, the Bible says in Matthew 10:8: "....Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.”Topics include:- If you are not serving Jesus Christ, you are serving other idols. What idols have you made your god?  - You cannot serve two masters.  - Results of worshipping idols.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):Matthew 10:8, 1 John 5:21, Philippians 3:19, Matthew 6:24, Joshua 24:15, Galatians 6:7, 2 Corinthians 9:6, Exodus 20:3, Exodus 20:4, Psalm 135:15-17, Habakkuk 2:18-19, Leviticus 26:1, Hebrews 13:5, Jonah 2:8, Deuteronomy 5:7-9, Exodus 20:23-24, Joshua 23:7, Numbers 25:2-3, 1 Kings 18:21, 1 Corinthians 6:11, Exodus 20:13-17.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

To Rabbi Shlomo Katz, the song of Torah is the most natural gateway into Jewish mysticism. A spiritual disciple of Shlomo Carlebach, Rabbi Shlomo believes that our greatest challenge today is that we lack the courage to connect with others and show our love. Rabbi Shlomo Katz is the rabbi and spiritual leader of Kehilat Shirat David in Efrat and the head of Machon Zimrat Ha'aretz. He is also an accomplished singer, musician, and educator. Today, he sits down with us to answer eighteen questions with Rabbi Dr. Benji Levy on Jewish mysticism including the challenge of technology, the meaning of Torat Eretz Yisrael, and the true purpose of the Jewish People.Here are our questions:What is Jewish mysticism?How were you introduced to Jewish mysticism?In an ideal world, would all Jews be mystics?What do you think of when you think of God?What is the purpose of the Jewish people?How does prayer work?What is the goal of Torah study?Does Jewish mysticism view men and women the same?Should Judaism be hard or easy?Why did God create the world? Can humans do something that is against God's will?What do you think of when you think about Moshiach?Is the State of Israel part of the final redemption?What is the greatest challenge facing the world today?How has modernity changed Jewish mysticism?What differentiates Jewish mysticism from the mysticism of other religions? Does one need to be religious to study Jewish mysticism?Can mysticism be dangerous?How has Jewish mysticism affected your relationships with yourself and with others?What is a Jewish teaching that you always take with you?

In this message, Pastor Karl tackles one of the more challenging passages in Matthew's Gospel — a section most preachers skip, especially leading up to Easter. Working through Matthew 11:20–30, he confronts a subtle but serious spiritual danger: indifference toward Christ.Using Jesus's sharp words of judgment against Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, Pastor Karl unpacks why indifference is not a neutral stance — it is quiet opposition. The cities Jesus condemns weren't filled with outright God-haters; they were filled with people who had witnessed his miraculous works firsthand and simply... didn't respond. Jesus declares their judgment will be worse than that of Tyre, Sidon, and even Sodom — cities synonymous with extreme wickedness — because with greater revelation comes greater responsibility.Pastor Karl also walks through what Scripture teaches about degrees of judgment, the nature of hell, and why the unforgivable sin is ultimately the rejection of a known gospel. He then turns to Jesus's tender invitation in verses 28–30 — the rest he offers to those crushed under the weight of self-imposed religion or man-made rules — and explains what it truly means to take on the easy yoke of Christ.The message closes with a powerful challenge: the goodness God has shown you is meant to lead you to repentance, not comfort.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

If God is everywhere, why can't God be in an image? If devotion dissolves the self before the Beloved, what remains to draw the line between Hindu and Muslim? And can we ever find an answer to suffering that satisfies both the heart and the mind? Drawing from his acclaimed book, "The Hindu Self and Its Muslim Neighbors," Dr Barua guides us through the shared devotional languages of Bhakti and Sufi traditions. He reveals how figures like Kabir, Tagore, Nazrul Islam, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan inhabited spaces of “creative ambiguity” that transcended rigid boundaries. This episode explores Dr Barua's journey from physics to metaphysics, delving into the theology behind “idol worship” and the intersection of quantum mechanics and religious truth. It invites us to discover profound resonances and honest tensions between two great spiritual traditions. Dr Ankur Barua is a Senior Lecturer in Hindu Studies at the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge. He researches the conceptual constellations and the social structures of the Hindu traditions, both in premodern contexts in South Asia and in colonial milieus where multiple ideas of Hindu identity were configured along transnational circuits between India, Britain, Europe, and USA. In recent years, his research focus has moved to an exploration of the intersections between the idioms of bhakti, yoga, tawḥīd, and taṣawwuf on the multiply-stratified postcolonial landscapes of South Asia.Audio Chapters: 0:00 – Highlights 1:23 – From Physics to Metaphysics 12:30 – Language of Science vs Language of Religion 19:10 – Are There Revelations in Hinduism?24:50 – On Infallibility of the Vedas 28:28 – Revelation in Hinduism and Abrahamic Traditions 33:16 – Between Monotheism and Idol Worship in Hinduism 45:07 – Idol Worship and Muslims 47:15 – Why Muslim Neighbours? 55:52 – Muslims as Foreigners 1:04:45 – Bhakti and Sufi Love 1:17:01 – Quantum Mechanics and Truth of Religion 1:23:10 – Religion and Meaning for Modern Individuals 1:28:46 – Thinking Islam QuestionMentioned in This Episode: "Images of the Unimaginable God" by Dr Ankur Barua: https://renovatio.zaytuna.edu/article/images-of-the-unimaginable-god "The Hindu Self and Its Muslim Neighbors" by Dr Ankur Barua: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/hindu-self-and-its-muslim-neighbors-9781793642585/ "Form and Essence" by Shaykh Arif: https://www.shaykharif.com/blog/impurity?categoryId=24615

We take a deep, honest look at idol worship - not as statues or ancient rituals, but as a mindset that can still tempt us today. What is the real lure of idol worship? At its core, why would someone want to worship an idol?You'll hear about:The psychology behind why idol worship was so tempting in the Torah and why it still shows up in modern formsWhat happens internally when we move from “How do I get what I want?” to “How do I live in partnership with God?”

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

In this thought-provoking episode of The School of Divine Mysteries, Aba Al-Sadiq and his guest Tiffany dive into one of the most misunderstood concepts in religion: idol worship. Together, they explore the history and spiritual significance of worship through images across polytheistic and monotheistic traditions—from ancient temples to biblical symbolism. The conversation unpacks how even within the Abrahamic faiths, the idea of worshiping an “image” begins with Adam, created in the image of God, and continues in mysterious ways through scripture, culminating in the prophetic warnings of Revelation. Drawing from the teachings of Imam Ahmed al-Hasan (a), particularly The Book of Monotheism, the discussion unveils the true monotheistic understanding. The episode challenges viewers to consider whether they are truly worshiping God through His appointed image or unknowingly venerating a satanic distortion of divine virtues. With compelling analogies, scriptural references, and spiritual insight, this episode calls for deep self-reflection and a renewed commitment to the essence of divine worship.

Pastor Jim explores the human obsession with winning and control, drawing from the story of Ahab and Jezebel in 1 Kings. He highlights how the relentless pursuit of power leads to idolatry, paranoia, and destruction. Through Elijah's challenge to God's people, Pastor Jim calls listeners to reevaluate what they're truly chasing—and to redirect their hearts toward worshiping the one true God for lasting spiritual growth and wholeness.

Pastor Jim explores 1 Kings 15, focusing on King Asa. He highlights the importance of dethroning and resisting idols inherited from our families of origin and remaining devoted to God, even when it's hard. Pastor Jim encourages listeners to examine family patterns, and to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit through Gospel community, Scripture, and prayer. A life fully aligned with Jesus not only brings personal transformation but also empowers mission and impact in the world.

Many times God will give us wisdom and direction for our requests and desires. He may give us an answer to repent, no, or do this, and in some cases He will have a full journey of training. The main issues is we do not like the responses or answers and so we demand He answer the questions, desires, and paths the way WE WANT. Now our desires have become an idol.Verse(s): 1 Samuel 8, Romans 1:21-25; Matthew 6:25-34Top 20 list at Feedspot: ⁠⁠https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/⁠⁠E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsRUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WarriorWithinPastor-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://NCS.io/Samurai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We all want approval... the feeling of being good enough and accepted by others. The problem is that, left unchecked, approval and validation can easily become an idol that gets in the way of your relationship with God.

In today's reading from Exodus 32, Fr. Mike shows us how when we become uncertain, we immediate try to take control of the situation, and build up idols in our hearts. We also read Leviticus 23 and Psalm 79. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
