If God is the creator, and human idolatry is our attempt to manufacture something that can take his place, then the fact that those idols are reflections of their maker – us! – completely undermines their ability to rescue us. Instead, God promises his people that he alone is able and willing to defeat our enemies.

Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
