Who Do We Serve
Most Christians would never intentionally worship an idol.
But idols are not always statues, wealth, or openly sinful behavior. Sometimes an idol is simply the thing we trust to calm us, comfort us, validate us, or give us control before we turn to God.
Who Do We Serve? is an honest and practical Bible study on everyday idolatry, spiritual reflexes, and the small choices that reveal where our trust truly rests.
The study begins with an ordinary frustrating workday and a bag of chocolate-covered blueberries. The example may seem small, but that is the point. Our deepest loyalties are often exposed not during dramatic crises, but in ordinary moments when we are tired, afraid, angry, embarrassed, or overwhelmed.
The question is not whether the thing we reach for is large, dangerous, or obviously sinful. The question is whether we are asking it to provide what belongs to God.
This study explores:
what the Bible means by idolatry
why idols do not always look religious or dramatic
how stress reveals what we truly trust
why immediate relief can become a spiritual substitute
how food, screens, shopping, substances, approval, comfort, or control can take God’s place
why idols often work just well enough to keep us returning
the relationship between treasure, attention, and the heart
how ordinary habits become deeply rooted loyalties
why conviction should lead to honest repentance rather than shame
how to develop the reflex of reaching for God first
This Bible study kit includes:
a complete printable Bible study
KJV Scripture teaching
a personal and relatable story
reflection and group discussion questions
practical application exercises
a closing prayer
PowerPoint teaching slides
printable PDF versions of the study and presentation
Best for:

discipleship and mentoring
recovery and accountability groups
studies on idolatry and spiritual habits
Christians examining stress-related coping patterns
men’s and women’s ministry
