Wavering
1 Kings 18
God wants to be everything in our lives, heart, & focus
1st commandment you shall have no other gods before me
Jesus love the Lord your God with all your heart mind soul & strength
What is Satans biggest attack?
take the hearts of people away from the One true God to worship false gods
this is called idolatry
FALSE GODS PROMISE WHAT ONLY THE TRUE GOD PROVIDES
god of Money
promises happiness & security
rich man with life illness has no security
lost loved one has no happiness
times of Elijah people were serving many false gods
Recap
Elijah confronts evil king Ahab married to Jezebel
19th consecutive evil king
worst of them all
continued to turn peoples hearts to idolotry
baal: sun/fire god
asura: baal’s wife
People turned from the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob
for promise that if they worship false gods
crops grow
better life
God raised up Elijah to confront king with a message
it will not rain until God tells me to pray for rain
major drought & famine
God sends Elijah into hiding for time of preparation
because King Ahab wanted him dead
Goes to Chireth Brook
one day that brook dried up
God sent him to Zarephath
woman with a little flour & oil that never ran dry
she fed him
one day her son died & Elijah called on God who raised him from the dead
NOW IT’S TIME TO CONFRONT
3 years into drought
1 Kings 18:17
because he said that God was going to send a drought
1 Kings 1
you are putting false gods before the One True God
monotheism: one God
polytheism: multiple gods
We may believe in One but our lives often give way to many
not necessarily to Baal
but to others more socially acceptable
money
material possessions
house
car
image
sports
hobby
children
ANYTHING ELEVATED ABOVE GOD IS IDOLATRY
WHAT ARE THE FALSE GOD’S IN YOUR LIFE?
monotheistic beliefs
polytheistic practice
It’s time to quit wavering
big table
How long will you do this?
if God is God then follow Him
if baal is god then follow him
too often we pray
God get me out of hell and let me live my life
I want to do what I want to do
hear my prayer & bless me
but I want to do what ever I want
I want all of your good things
but I don’t want to quit my bad things
Christian Sunday
Heathen Monday
claiming Christ
living like we don’t know Him
wanting benefits
not willing to sacrifice
QUIT WAVERING… PICK A SIDE
If your God is the real deal then sell out
material posessions
we are accumulating
getting into massive debt
stop being generous
steal if we have to
b/c accumulation is the goal
self image
gym 3-times a week
tan it
tweak it
tat it
puff it
tuck it
color it
style it
ignoring the fact that you will die one day
buy whatever clothes you need and go for it
sexual pleasure
don’t let something as small as marriage hold you back
not married… go for it
marriage shouldn’t limit you
