Exodus 32:1-14
1. When we neglect our hearts
Joshua 24:14-15
* The idol of approval- I want the approval of the people I’m talking to
* The idol of control- using gossip as a way to manipulate/control others
* The idol of reputation- I want to feel important so I put others down
* The idol of recognition- talking about others gets people to notice me.
* The idol of success-someone is succeeding-and I’m not- so I gossip about them
* The idol of knowledge- talking about people is a way of showing I now more
2. When we experience God as slow
Isaiah 55:8-9
3. When God is present but unmanageable
Exodus 19:16-20
4. When we forget
Two things we are prone to forget:
a) the trajectory of our relationship
b) the nature of God
5. When we fail to see the bigness of what God is doing
