Undistracted Worship, Undivided Heart, Undefiled Bodies

Steve DeNeff: God’s command against idols is not simply about statues or images; it is about the ordering of our loves. This sermon invites us to ask: What are we giving our hearts, bodies, habits, and imaginations to? The call of God is not merely to avoid false worship, but to become whole people whose lives are re-formed around him. We cast down idols not because worship is optional, but because we were made to worship the living God with undivided hearts and embodied lives. Since we are made in God’s image - in fact, we are the only part of creation that is - idolatry is a distortion of not only God, but of us as well.
