Exodus 32 The Golden Calf Summary: Today, it might seem funny to read about Israel making a statue of a golden cow, and then bowing down to it in worship. How could they so easily forget God? But that is what we'll see in Exodus today. The question for us is this: we might not make golden cows, but what things or people do we make more important than God in our lives? Let's think about it: Outline: 1. How idolatry tempts us 2. How idolatry hurts us 3. How God saves us from our idols Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. What do we learn about the character of idolatry in Exodus 32? Why does Israel demand Aaron to make them a god? 2. How did idolatry bring great harm to Israel? What were the consequences they felt as a result of their sin, and how might the idols in your life bring you spiritual or temporal consequences? 3. How did Moses intercede for the people before God? How does he show us glimpses of Jesus' our perfect mediator? 4. What are the idols in your own life that need to be addressed? How can God shatter them by the superior power of his love in Christ?
