I had Paris Roberts on to discuss the 1990 movie 'Bullet In The Head'. Hell yeah.

In the fifth week of our series called Counterfeit Gods, Pastor Mel recounts the most famous story of idolatry in scripture: Israel and the golden calf. Preaching through Exodus 32, Mel explains the revelry among the people as Aaron fashioned the golden calf. When Moses saw the people given over to idolatry he shattered the tablets inscribed with God's law on the ground. Moses made the people of Israel burn the statue, grind it into powder, and drink it. The lesson of this practice was to teach them that idols must be completely removed. The message closes with Mel instructing the importance of replacing the void left by idols with faith and affection for Jesus.

When the Thessalonians became Christians, Paul says everyone heard how they turned to the true and living God from idols. But idolatry wasn't only an issue back then. Human beings continue to put things (even good things!) in the place of God. We must choose for ourselves this day whom we will serve. Read more...

Idols are still real today. They're not just old statues that people used to worship in place of God, but they are all around us and are probably parts of our regular lives. In today's message, Pastor Johnny will remind you that anything can become an idol if it replaces God. So, that could be your finances, family, your phone, and even your job.

Idolatry is a huge worldwide business, & always has been. No different today.

In this powerful message, we dive deep into how idols—often hidden in plain sight—can block the very breakthrough you're praying for. From success and relationships to ministry, control, and even social media validation, your heart may be clinging to things that only God was meant to carry.

Encourages calculated risks for growth.* Niceness: Condemned as a barrier to truth, especially in Christian contexts where uncomfortable conversations (e.g., confronting sin) are avoided. Contrasts niceness with kindness, requiring tough love.* Nostalgia: Challenges fixation on past events (e.g., slavery, civil rights, WWII, the Holocaust) across racial and cultural groups, arguing it traps people in outdated conflicts. Rejects both negative and positive nostalgia (e.g., 1950s) to focus on the present and Christ's return.* Feminism: Criticized for elevating women above biblical roles, leading to abortion, rejection of gender roles, child mutilation, divorce culture, and low testosterone in men. Notes cultural shifts toward traditional values, especially among young men in Christian ministries.* Spiritual Reflection and Closing (01:57:59 - 02:01:02)* Biblical call to action from Micah 5:13-15, urging the destruction of idols to prevent future generations from falling away.* Prayer for boldness to smash idols, follow Christ, and love God wholeheartedly.* Emphasis on tearing down “high places” (idolatrous structures) alongside returning to God.* Reminder that the devil exploits extreme reactions (e.g., feminism vs. misogyny), making Jesus the only true path.Notable Quotes:* “That's such garbage science that it's astounding.” (On red meat studies)* “If you worship women, you can say, well, this is for the benefit of women that I'm killing babies, 50% of which are women.” (On feminism and abortion)* “Nobody likes the guy who peaked in high school.” (On nostalgia)* “We can't just go back to God. We have to tear down the high places.” (On smashing idols)Call to Action:* Visit kingsplaining.com for new t-shirts.* Like, share, and subscribe to the podcast.* Tell a friend to join the “Rube Empire.”Closing: The episode blends humor, conviction, and provocation to challenge listeners to reject cultural idols, pursue Christ, and advance God's kingdom.

Pastor Jim walks through Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18, challenging listeners to stop “dancing” between idols and wholehearted devotion to God. He highlights how striving for success, approval, and security often becomes modern idolatry, exhausting us without satisfying our deepest needs. Jim calls believers to trust in the true sacrifice—Jesus—and to rely daily on the Holy Spirit for life, provision, and lasting peace.

When Emilio Hernandez and Patrick Lawrence started Occults, they had no intention of building a fanbase. The two best friends of nearly 25 years had a very simple goal — create music that they've loved as teens as an outlet during the global lockdowns at the start of the pandemic. Now, they are hitting the road and touring across the country with a stop in St. Louis — their hometown and where their friendship began.

Last week I began a series in I Thessalonians. We started with an important subject – the meaning of life for the child of God? I consider this next subject just as important. If we do not permit the unmasking of our personal idols through the preached word, then we will never truly be able …

Scripture Reference: Psalm 16 The emotion of hope consists of having something to look forward to even in the bleakness of everyday life. But David has found the key to celebrating even in the midst of isolation and pain. Only if he can be rescued from the enslaving power of death can he know true hope. Sermon Points: The Defeat of Idols (vs. 1-6) The Delight in God (vs. 7-8) The Death of Death (vs. 9-11)

Dr. Brad Littlejohn of American Compass and author of "Called to Freedom" addresses the problems with the current way of thinking about freedom as having multiple choices.

Beyond Self-Esteem: Finding Worth in Christ :: [Ep. 264]Last week, we started the conversation about Self-Worth and Self-Esteem. This week, we are concluding that conversation. In this episode, we are learning just how a biblical perspective on self-worth can transform hearts and marriages. Rather than embracing the world's definition of self-esteem, we are discovering that our true value comes from being made in God's image and chosen by Him.We will cover the following:• Satan manipulates our self-perception to damage our marriages, convincing us we deserve better than our spouse• The "I am who I am" mentality creates a false comfort zone that prevents growth and transformation in relationships• Biblical confidence means thinking of ourselves less rather than thinking less of ourselves• How to transition from being "puffed up" to being "filled up" with God's truth and how that transforms how we serve our spouseFor further study on this topic, listen to our previous broadcasts titled "Idols of the Heart," read John 13, 1 Corinthians, or Tim Keller's "The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness."Happy listening!!Support the showFor episode transcripts, click HERE.For more marriage encouragement, visit: www.VowsToKeep.com | V2K Blog | Marriage Counseling | Insta | FBApple Podcast listener?

Idols don't always look like statues. Sometimes they look like what you can't let go of. What you run to when life gets hard. What you think about when no one's watching. What gets your best time, your loudest praise, your deepest affection.“If it has your heart more than God — it has to die.” Idolatry is subtle It slides in when you stop guarding your focus. It grows when you start compromising truth for comfort.It thrives when Jesus becomes optional. But here's the thing — idols can't save you. Idols won't heal you. Idols leave you thirsty, empty, and bound. Freedom starts when you let the flesh die. Peace comes when Jesus is King — not consultant. Real life begins when you tear down what's been standing between you and God.Kill your idols.Cut off what's killing you.Put Jesus back on the throne.He's not trying to ruin your life.He's trying to save it.#KillYourIdols #NexusChurch #SundayRecap #PastorJonPurkey #JesusOverEverything #NoOtherGods #BreakTheCycle #FreedomStartsHere #WorshipTheKing
