Idols aren't just false or pretend gods, they can also be good things that become ultimate things when they are placed above the one true King.Join us this week and learn what Psalm 135 says about these idols.Do you have a question about our teaching series that you would like answered?

This Sunday, we dove into Acts 19, where Paul brings the Gospel into one of the most idol-filled cities in the ancient world: Ephesus. It's a wild and powerful story where revival breaks out, but not before the truth challenges the culture head-on.We talked about how idols aren't just golden statues or ancient gods. They're often good things we've given ultimate value like success, relationships, family, comfort, security. And while they may promise peace, they can't deliver like Jesus can.We unpacked how easy it is to let the good things in life quietly take the place of God and how Jesus lovingly calls us back to something deeper, freer, and far more lasting. Tune into this week's message titled, “American Idols”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).If you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Fear disrupts normal life. Success hinges on managing fear, as illustrated in Judges 6 with Gideon: God Makes the Called Brave: Gideon, a coward, is called a "mighty man of valor" not for his courage but for what God will make him. We Are God's Instruments: God uses us to accomplish His work in our generation. Start at Home: Gideon destroys his family's idol first, showing personal transformation precedes external impact. Idols cause disobedience and anxiety. Courage Despite Fear: Courage is following God amid fear, empowered by His promise, “I am with you.” The Cross Replaces the Fleece: The cross assures us of God's presence and love, casting out fear (1 John 4:18). Courage comes from our identity in Christ, not personal strength, enabling us to act as His ambassadors.
An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your attention and affection more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.Idols can take on many forms: money, success, power, popularity, or physical attractiveness. But idols can also take on human form. When you look to a person for the kind of deep affirmation and acceptance that only God can provide, it results not only in pain but in bondage.The Bible graphically illustrates this in the story of Jacob and Leah. Jacob had a twin brother, Esau. Esau was their father, Isaac's favorite—his idol. Because of this, Esau grew up proud, willful, and impulsive, while Jacob grew up cynical, bitter, and conniving. After Jacob deceived his father and received the blessing Esau desired, Esau vowed to kill Jacob. So, Jacob fled for his life. He ended up in his Uncle Laban's house, where he got a job tending sheep. There he met Laban's daughters—Leah and Rachel. Leah had “weak eyes,” while Rachel was beautiful. Jacob was utterly smitten by the lovely Rachel. He had to have her. He would do anything for her. She became his idol. This unhealthy desire consumed Jacob. Rachel was not just the wife he wanted; she was the savior he needed. Jacob asked her father for her hand in marriage. But Laban deceived the deceiver, Jacob, and after working for seven years, Laban gave him, not Rachel, but Leah. Jacob had to work another seven years for Rachel.Perhaps the greatest casualty in this story is Leah. The daughter whom her father did not want is now the wife her husband did not want. As a result, Leah had a hole in her heart every bit as big as the one in Jacob's heart. And now she tries to fill it with a person. She sets her heart on getting Jacob's love.Genesis 29:31 says that “when the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.” The Lord gave Leah sons, and with each birth she thought, “Maybe now Jacob will love me.” But it didn't work out that way.Ironically, after all that pain, Leah is the one who shows spiritual progress in all this. When her last son is born, her response is, “This time I will praise the Lord.” It appears that she has finally taken her heart's deepest devotion off of a person and put it on the Lord. She has dealt with her idol.I look at what God did in Leah, and then I consider what God did for her. If you track the genealogy of Jesus, you will see that of all Jacob's sons, He came through the line of Judah, Leah's son. God reached out to the girl that nobody wanted, the unloved one, and made her the ancestral mother of the Messiah. Salvation came to the world, not through the beautiful Rachel, but through the unwanted, unloved Leah.No human can bear the burden of godhood. No person can meet the deepest needs of your soul.Jesus is the only one who can live up to the hopes, dreams, indeed, the expectations that we all have. And only when we place Him in the temple of our hearts in a position of unrivaled prominence will we be in a position to love anyone well.

It may not be only a statue or other image that becomes our idol in place of God. Erroneous teaching and attitudes that focus on oneself may become our idols. We must be aware!

Pastor Jesus Arriaga uses the Mandalorian phrase “this is the way” to emphasize that David's declaration in Psalm 63:3—“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you”—points us to making God's love the guiding principle of our lives.
Pastor Phil joins Andrew Rapoport on the Rap Report to dive deep into the pressing issues facing the church today, particularly the encroaching influence of wokeness and the social justice movement. The conversation kicks off with a look back at how the church has historically handled attacks on its foundations, with Phil drawing parallels between past and current challenges. They explore the concept of “hijacking virtue,” where seemingly noble causes are manipulated for ulterior motives, alluding to movements like Black Lives Matter and the growing complexity of racial reconciliation efforts. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the need for discernment in identifying idols in our lives and churches that could lead believers astray, ultimately pointing to the importance of a solid biblical worldview. As they wrap up, listeners are encouraged to look critically at their own communities and the teachings they encounter, ensuring they remain anchored in the truth of Scripture amidst a rapidly changing cultural landscape.The episode culminates in a call to action for listeners to become more discerning about the influences shaping their faith and the church community. Andrew and Phil encourage a proactive approach to understanding the root causes of cultural movements and their potential impact on the church. They articulate a vision of the church as a beacon of hope and truth in a world increasingly hostile to its teachings. By grounding themselves in scripture and fostering a community that prioritizes spiritual growth over societal trends, believers can effectively counter the narratives that seek to undermine their faith. The conversation concludes with practical advice for identifying potential pitfalls within church teachings and a reminder of the importance of community and dialogue in navigating these complex issues. Phil's book serves as a resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of these themes, providing a framework for recognizing and combating modern idolatry in all its forms.Takeaways: Andrew and Pastor Phil discuss the modern challenges facing the church, emphasizing the need for biblical interpretation amidst societal pressures. The podcast highlights the importance of recognizing and resisting the hijacking of virtue by secular movements, particularly in the context of social justice. Pastor Phil shares insights from his book, 'Idols on the Hills', addressing how ancient idolatry manifests in contemporary issues like materialism and cultural ideology. Listeners are encouraged to critically evaluate their churches for signs of compromise with modern ideologies, particularly regarding race and morality in light of scripture. The discussion touches on the role of pastors in navigating modern complexities while remaining grounded in the truth of the gospel, avoiding guilt manipulation. Both speakers stress the necessity of maintaining a clear Christian worldview to combat the influences of wokeness and to support biblical teachings effectively.

In Exodus 32, the Israelite's create a golden calf — a striking moment that reveals how quickly we can turn away from God when things don't go our way. This story isn't just ancient history; it speaks directly to us today. In this video, we explore what it means to make a “convenient” version of God — one that fits our preferences rather than challenges us to grow. Are we worshiping God for who He truly is, or are we shaping Him into something more comfortable and controllable? It's time to confront our modern-day idols and return to the living God on His terms, not ours.

Idols cannot simply be removed, they must be replaced. That begins with being still and ends with our ability to listen to what God has to say. Find a quiet place with no distractions; and then begin to take a few deep breaths…Awareness Questions:1. Where do my thoughts effortlessly go when nothing is demanded of me?2. Am I able to be authentic and real with others?3. What impact does rejection or the fear of rejection have on me?4. How do people around me often feel? Be Still and Listen:1. God, when was the last time I sought the approval of others in an effort to feel secure in my perceived identity?2. God, where am I seeking the approval of others in my life right now?3. God, is there anything keeping me from recognizing and receiving your love and approval?This podcast is an offering of Seek Well. To find out more about us visit seekwell.orgWant to help?

This sermon, Lessons from the Wilderness: Chasing Idols, explores how idolatry—past and present—can hinder us from fully trusting and walking with God into the future He's prepared for us. The Israelites longed for Egypt, romanticizing their past bondage when faced with the discomfort of the wilderness. They built golden calves when God seemed silent, crafting counterfeit comforts in place of divine trust. These moments reveal that idols aren't always carved images—they're anything we cling to more than God. This message challenges us to ask: are we idolizing what God already freed us from? Are we trusting the process even when God feels distant? And are we willing to worship while we wait? God's future promises require the abandonment of past attachments and present idols. The wilderness wasn't just a place of wandering—it was a place of decision, where the people had to choose whom they would serve.
Idols are ground to ash and dispersed; idol priests are dismissed
Pastor Mike Polhemus & Tracy Fox teach a message on removing idols and idolatry out of our lives so that we can be living sacrifices to Him. Mike & Tracy spend time defining what idolatry looks like, and encouraging us to lay those things aside and follow Jesus.
When God's people get rid of idolatrous worship and replace it with the place, time, and way God chooses, their pure fellowship with Him and one another produces joyful fellowship feasting. Reject Your Idols to Rejoice With God Together.
Is everyone in the Book of Life originally? If so, when and why are they taken out? My good friend has a six-year-old diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. How can I be an encouragement to her and her husband? I have a religious OCD, and I worry about overindulging in jazz, art, and audiobooks. Is that God warning me? What can I do to get free?

The idols that we carry out of Egypt will eventually become the idols that weigh our children down.
This weekend, we dove into 1 John 2:12–17 and 5:21 with a message called “Idol Demolition.” As we celebrated Father’s Day, we looked at the tension between loving God and loving the world — and the idols that subtly steal our hearts.
Fr. Mike points out the results of what happened to the kings who built idols, and what happened to the kings who tore them down. He encourages us to tear down the idols we've built up in our own lives by trusting God with our first fruits. Today's readings are 1 Kings 14, 2 Chronicles 14-15, and Song of Solomon 3. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
"God, we're not just asking You to clear the cobwebs—we're asking You to kill the spider.”

Why has Pride Month become less about tolerance and more about forced celebration—and what can faithful churches do about it? In this episode of Refining Rhetoric, Dr. Rosaria Butterfield—former lesbian activist turned pastor's wife—explains how LGBTQ ideology became a cultural idol and why the evangelical church's "winsome" approach has failed. She offers biblical guidance for churches and parents on how to faithfully respond during Pride Month by boldly proclaiming gospel truth rather than negotiating with idols. Key Discussion Points: - How the gay rights movement evolved from privatization to mandatory celebration - Why LGBTQ ideology functions as an idol demanding worship and child sacrifice - The evangelical church's failed strategy of compromise over truth - Practical advice for parents of prodigals struggling with sexual sin - What churches should do during Pride Month instead of staying silent - Why Gen Z is hungry for bold truth over therapeutic excuses Resources: https://rosariabutterfield.com/ "The Lust of the Flesh: Thinking Biblically About Sexual Orientation" by Jared Moore "The Enemy Within" by Chris Lundgaard John Owen's works on indwelling sin "From Transgender to Transformed" by Laura Perry Smalts Decision Point (decisionpoint.org) This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by Copper Lodge Library 2025 New Releases Explore the exciting new 2025 additions to the Classical Conversations Bookstore!

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com A lot of stories in the book of Daniel… food, lions, fires, beheading, Idols, end times… But if you have to title the book of Daniel… as in pick a theme or a title… it would be easy for me…. It would be called 73 seconds. 73 seconds… The Space shuttle had a 99.9999 perfection in its running parts. NEAR TOTAL PERFECTION. But in just 73 seconds due to the compromise of an O ring .0001 it imploded and millions watched 7 people die. Daniel is about NO COMPROMISE. NO COMPROMISE. Sermon, how did they overcome? They overcame by no compromise in any area for any reason and for anyone! As soon as you compromise even slightly, you have already lost for the slide slowly, but the end is destruction. HOW? Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; HE WAS 15 WHEN HE SAID THIS!!!!! WHAT DOES DEFILE ACTUALLY MEAN - simply live according to the culture. It was completely acceptable for everyone to live that way in Babylon. One of my favorite quotes: if you want to be really successful, true successful… study people, watch them, at work at home, at church, at the mall… AND THEN DO THE OPPOSITE! HE PURPOSED/RESOLVED IN HIS HEART AT 15… Remember Joash just 2 weeks ago… served God until his Father figure priest died and then he fell a part. BUT NOT DANIEL. Purposed = Set aside… appoint as to bring notice to! NOT ONLY WILL I MAKE A DECISION TO FOLLOW GOD - I WILL MAKE IT STAND OUT… IT WILL BE FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES! *If I might add as one of the biggest problems in todays Christians is they do not live any differently than the world. Sex, selfishness, jealousy, bitterness, excuses, work ethic, self centeredness… Christians don't stand out much any more.
