MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another…”
Midweek Message 4.22.26 – Who Is Our God? – May your heart be touched as you watch
SERMON NOTES:
1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and
things taught by demons.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Hebrew 13:9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings (doctrine). It is good for our hearts to be
strengthened by grace . . .
1 Timothy 1:3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain
people not to teach false doctrines any longer.
1 Timothy 4:16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself
and your hearers.
Exodus 32:1–6 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods (or a god) who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him andmade it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.” When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord.”So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
Romans 1:22-25 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their
thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became
fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and
animals and reptiles.Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the
degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served
created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Revelation 3:15–17 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So,
because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have
acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another…”
Closing Prayer – “Lord, forgive us for the times we have reshaped You to fit our comfort instead of surrendering to Your truth. Tear down every idol in our hearts. Restore a right vision of who You are—holy, righteous, and full of mercy. Form us into Your image, instead of us trying to form You into ours. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
