When Good Things Become Gods | Judges Sermon by Pastor Lisa Scheffler

Описание: When good things become ultimate things, something always breaks.

In this powerful sermon from the book of Judges, Pastor Lisa Scheffler explores why idolatry isn’t an ancient problem—it’s a modern one. Using vivid cultural imagery and honest reflection, this message confronts the ways success, comfort, pleasure, control, and security quietly take the place of God in our everyday lives.

Judges reads like a warning siren—loud, uncomfortable, and impossible to ignore. It shows what happens when people don’t stop believing in God, but slowly divide their loyalty. The result? Burnout, compromise, broken systems, and a cycle that never really fixes what’s underneath.

This sermon is for anyone who’s:

Tired of chasing things that never fully satisfy

Feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating

Wrestling with success, pressure, identity, or control

Wondering why “rescue” doesn’t always bring real change

You’ll hear why:

Idolatry isn’t about statues—it’s about what shapes your life

Rescue is not the same as renewal

What we worship determines what we tolerate—and eventually justify

Jesus doesn’t just interrupt the cycle—He breaks it

This message invites honest reflection, not shame. It calls us to reorder our loves and discover a King who doesn’t exploit us—but restores us.
