Exodus: Disordered Desires || Rev. Michael Hands

In Exodus 32 we see a sobering moment in Israel’s story. While Moses is on the mountain with God, the people grow impatient and turn to something they can see, shape, and control — a golden calf. The story reveals something deeply human: our tendency to exchange the living God for things that feel easier, faster, and more convenient. Idolatry isn’t just about statues. It’s about the quiet drift of our hearts toward anything that takes God’s place. True worship requires trust, patience, and surrender. But when we behold God rightly, our desires are reordered and our lives begin to align with His purposes. Watch the full message and reflect on what might be shaping your desires.
