Judges 6:25-32 — Before Gideon led Israel into battle he had to deal with the sin of his own family. The LORD ordered him to destroy the altar to Baal his father owned.
What was happening in Gideon’s home was representative of what was happening all across Israel. People had moved from the worship of the One True & Living God to the worship of multiple gods. This was a great evil and needed to be addressed urgently.
Sadly, this is a problem that hasn’t gone away. God’s people are still drawn to the worship of other gods. While not confessional polytheists, many are practical polytheists. In this sermon we consider what this sin looks like and how we can know if there is an idol in our life.
