"Worship or Idolatry? When the Right Words Cover the Wrong Thing." (Ex. 32) - Ki Tisa - 3/13/25

Worship or Idolatry: When the Right Words Cover the Wrong Thing

When does worship become idolatry? In Exodus 32, the people of Israel, impatient for Moses’ return, demand a god they can see and touch. Aaron obliges, crafting a golden calf—yet they call it by the Lord’s name. The tragedy? They use the right words but give glory to the wrong thing.

This powerful teaching exposes how idolatry isn’t always blatant—it often comes disguised in the familiar, even in the name of faith. Have we unknowingly built golden calves in our own lives? Are we worshiping the Lord, or just using His name to justify what we want?

Join us as we uncover the heart of true worship and the dangers of misplaced devotion. Don’t miss this eye-opening message!
