Learning about Idolatry from…

One of the biggest themes of the Old Testament is the struggle which the people of Israel had with idolatry. Particularly once they entered the land of Canaan, the Israelites were constantly tempted to turn from God to worship of the things he created. During this series we will look at the different perspectives on idolatry offered by different parts of the Old Testament and see how much it has to say to a modern day culture in which idolatry is still our major problem.

Developing a healthy attitude towards…

Following January’s series on idolatry, the talks in this series will focus upon making a positive response to those things we are tempted to make into idols. Place things like our friendships, homes, achievement and money above their creator and they rapidly become negative and dehumanising in their affect upon us. Place these things below God and, like all of his created order, they can become a rich source of the blessing he intends for us.
