Summary
Well, that didn't take long. Just weeks after entering into a covenant with the God who rescued them from slavery, the Israelites turn away and bow down to a golden calf. It's easy to read that story and wonder how they could fall so quickly. But the deeper question is this: Is idolatry just an ancient problem—or do we still struggle with it today? In this message, we explore what the golden calf reveals about the human heart and why we are so prone to replace God with lesser things. As we continue our journey through Exodus, we'll discover God's call to return to wholehearted devotion—even in a world full of competing idols.
