God & gods

As Pastor Jeff continues the "Back to Basics" series, we're challenged in this sermon to examine the difference between merely fearing God and truly serving Him. 2 Kings 17, where the Israelites 'feared the Lord and served their own gods,' presents a paradox which serves as a mirror for our own lives: do we simply acknowledge God's existence while devoting ourselves to modern-day idols? Pastor Jeff weaves this ancient narrative with our contemporary struggles, urging us to consider what truly occupies our time, affections, and resources. Are we giving lip service to God while our hearts are far from Him?
