An Altar of Confession

Описание: Welcome back to Preston Ridge! As we continue our 2026 series, "Altars and Idols," we move from the altar of remembrance to the altar of confession.

In Joshua 24, we witness a "come to Jesus" moment for the entire nation of Israel. As Joshua nears the end of his life, he presents the people with a definitive ultimatum: choose this day whom you will serve. This message explores the courage required to face our idols, the weight of true repentance, and the freedom found in choosing to serve the Lord with sincerity and faithfulness.

In this video, you will learn:

Why "fear of the Lord" is the necessary starting point for spiritual renewal.

How to identify "geographical" and "lifestyle" idols that follow us into 2026.

The difference between a casual "my bad" and a life-altering commitment to God.

Why marking moments of confession is vital for long-term accountability and growth.

True confession is more than just admitting a mistake; it is a violent tearing down of the things we prioritize over God. Join us as we learn how to incline our hearts toward the Lord and lead our households in radical obedience.

Key Scriptures:
Joshua 24:14-27 (Joshua’s ultimatum and the stone of witness)

Matthew 6:24 (The impossibility of serving two masters)

Key Highlights:
A Choice of Masters: Understanding that we are always serving something—the question is who.

Witnesses Against Ourselves: The importance of marking our commitments so we don't "deal falsely" with God.

The Role of Community: Why life groups and "safe people" are essential for maintaining our altars of confession.
