Summary
Some people insist that in our post-modern (or even meta-modern) age, we only believe in science, not metaphysics. That’s not quite true. At the heart of the transgender movement, people believe they are what they claim to be regardless of biological evidence. None of this is new. Something similar happened in the ancient worship of Asherah. Let’s examine it more carefully.
I. The Practice of Debased Idolatry (Jeremiah 7)
(Three Notable Characteristics)
II. The Proclamation of Divine Wrath (Romans 1)
(Three Notable Reasons)
Talk with God: Ask the Lord to give you His heart for the lost, confused, and hurting people in your family, community, and city.
Talk with others: Ask your Connect Group or believing family and friends how you can support them in boldly and lovingly sharing the hope of Jesus with someone this week.
Talk with kids: Pick up some poster board from Calvary Kids and create a banner to share what you’re thankful for as a family at our Thanksgiving Banner Service this Wednesday.

| 0:05.0 | As we walk through life, we begin to realize that not every monster lurks under the bed. |
| 0:10.0 | For centuries, demons, and dark spiritual forces have been downplayed as entertaining mythical figures, |

| 0:35.1 | Would you turn, please, in your Bibles to two passages of Scripture in the Old Testament, the |
| 0:41.0 | book of Jeremiah, the prophet Jeremiah chapter 7, and then place a marker in Romans |
| 0:47.2 | chapter 1 in your New Testament, Jeremiah chapter 7 and Romans chapter 1. As you can tell by the title of this message, |
| 0:55.7 | it's pretty straightforward. I'm pulling no punches. And we want to continue what we started |
| 1:03.9 | last week. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, whom you've heard me quote over the years many times because |
| 1:09.7 | he is so notable and so |
| 1:11.8 | quotable, said that he would rather be accused of having a religion that promoted murder |
| 1:17.6 | rather than one that justified idolatry. |

| 1:28.9 | Idolatry is the killing of God. |
| 1:33.1 | Let me take you back 3,500 years to a temple in ancient Mesopotamia |
| 1:43.7 | for the worship of one of their principal deities in the pantheon of |
| 1:50.4 | that nation, the worship of Asherah mentioned in your Bible several times in your Old Testament. |
