Daniel Migliore's book The Power of God and the gods of Power is the basis for the current sermon series. The premise is that we must be aware of the gods that often take the place for the real, living God in our lives. Reading it has been challenging -- preaching about false gods is even more so, because they are pervasive and often invisible to the naked eye. We all must uncover those gods to clear our way to living for the real God.
What are the gods that dominate our lives? How is our distorted view of the living God affecting how we live? As we continue to study this, I'm reminded that what we call power and what God considers power are all too often completely disparate things.
