  1. The god of Me Pastor Jon Fulton October 6, 2019 Series: Slaying gods

  2. An idol is any person, place or thing that is more important in our lives than God himself

  3. God says idolatry is adultery in Ezekiel 16:17

  4. 9Therefore, I will bring my case against you,” says the LORD. “I will even bring charges against your children’s children in the years to come. 10 “Go west and look in the land of Cyprus; go east and search through the land of Kedar. Has anyone ever heard of anything as strange as this? 11 Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones, even though they are not gods at all? (cont’d) • --Jeremiah 2:9-13 (NLT)

  5. Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols! 12 The heavens are shocked at such a thing and shrink back in horror and dismay,” says the LORD. 13 “For my people have done two evil things: They have abandoned me— the fountain of living water. And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all! • --Jeremiah 2:9-13 (NLT)

  6. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. • --Matthew 6:33-34 (NLT)

  7. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. • --John 10:10 (NLT)

  8. Don’t build your own cisterns, be God’s cistern

  9. 10 Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” 14 Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” • --John 4:10,14 (NLT)
