Counterfeit Gods - Week 2: Love
• Series: Kingdom Builders
In the second message of our series called Counterfeit Gods, Pastor Mel preaches about the dangers of idolizing love. Idolatry is making anything other than God the "ultimate" thing. If we look to love or romantic relationships as the thing that will make us feel whole, then we know we have idolized love. No person or relationship was designed to bear the weight of standing in for God. We're comfortable with being loved but not known, and being known but not loved is one of our greatest fears. To be fully known and truly loved is what it's like to be loved by God. Mel preaches through Genesis 29 and makes the case that Jacob's brokenness made him vulnerable to the idolatry of love.
