This Life Group season runs from February 2 – April 6, 2025.
- Over the past two Sundays we have covered the first and second commandments. Take a look at Exodus 20:1-6. How does following the second commandment relate to honoring the first commandment?
- There are a lot (a lot…) of real life examples of idolatry in the Bible. Take a look at Joshua 24:1-28. How did God show his character to Israel in spite of the many instances of “other gods” and idols that they faced in their history?
- In Joshua 24:21-24 the people commit to throw away any gods and to yield their hearts to the Lord. What is the significance of making a commitment like this?
- Idolatry is often not seen in wood and stone in our culture. How do people practice idolatry today?
- Consider the quote below from Oliver Cromwell. Do you agree that this is an effect of idolatry. In what ways can idolatry affect disciples of Jesus Christ?
- How have you worked through idolatry or the temptation to yield your heart to things other than God? What have you learned about God’s character from committing worship to Him alone?
“Idolatry is anything which cooleth thy desires after Christ.”
Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658)
