Message: “The god of Love” from Josh Huff

It seems rather obvious to say that love is prevalent in our culture--especially following a holiday like Valentine's Day. Who doesn't love a good "happily ever after" story? After all, relationships are a gift from God! But when relationships--romantic and otherwise--replace God, they become idolatry. Have we made the pursuit of love, acceptance, and approval, a god that prevents us from yielding our hearts to Him?

Scripture References: Genesis 29:15-35, Joshua 24:23

From Series: "Gods at War"

Every day they battle for our attention, our time, our resources, our families. Some are easily recognized, others are more subtle as we allow them into our lives. They feed off our true desires, our hunger and wants. We think they bring fulfillment and purpose, but before long they take control, grip us tightly, and convince us that they belong. We find ourselves at war with these gods…surrendering ourselves to the idols of food, sex, money, success, entertainment, comfort, technology, and so much more. As we engage these gods at war, we will learn to recognize the seats of honor we have given the false gods in our lives, creating an opportunity to turn our hearts back to the one God who loves us unconditionally, the one who gives us freedom, the only one that deserves our hearts.
