Heaston Sermon 6.26.2022, Battle Grounds Week 9

Week 9 of Battle Grounds we look at how when we participate in worship of other gods, we participate with demons. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. Have you ever been around an idol? What did you think about that idol? 2. What does Paul (and Moses in Deuteronomy 32) teach us about the reality of idols and the so called “gods” they represent? Are idols and the gods they represent real? Does Paul believe there is an real spiritual being behind the idols? 3. If there is not other gods beside the one true God, and yet there are real spiritual beings behind the idols/false gods, what are those spiritual beings? 4. Paul teaches that to participate in worship of other gods is to get entangled with demons? How might this look? 5. What are some ways that we might participate in worship of idols?
