The God who is Bigger than Big

What happens when we trade the God who made us for something we can see, control, and understand? Exodus 20:4–6 warns us not only against making physical idols, but against something much more subtle: making God into our own image. We want a God we can put in a box—a God whoagrees with us, makes us comfortable, and never challenges us. But the God of Scripture is infinitely greater than any version we could invent. He is both Lion and Lamb, holy and loving, majestic and near.And His jealousy is not the insecurity of a desperate God; it is the fierce love of a God who knows that nothing else can satisfy His people. In the end, the second commandment points us to Jesus, the true image of the invisible God, who came to shatter our false pictures of God and rescue us with His own blood. This sermon asks a simple but searching question: Will we worship the God who has revealed Himself, or will we keep worshiping a God we have made?
