Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Exodus 32: 1-14

From the Sermon:

The Israelites looked to Moses looked for _____________ and _____________.

Aaron starts collecting the peoples ______ and forming them into an image of a ______.

We turn away from God when we get ________ more than we would like to admit.

We get in trouble when we try to give the ________ priority in our lives over the gift giver.

Sometimes like the ancient Israelites impatience and fear take over and we stray from God. We start to look for our ________ elsewhere. 

Reflection Questions:

Why did the Israelites make the Golden Calf?

What is our idol today?

What are some ways to know that we are straying and worshipping idols?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that we have made idols out of people and things in our lives. Worse, O Lord, sometimes we have not even realized that we were doing so. Stir in our hearts this week and show us what we need to repent of and turn away from in order to return to you. Forgive us, we pray. Amen.
