Only One Has the Power to Save

Speaker: Dr. Steven Laufer

Series: This is How We Live - I

Category: Sunday Services

The journey of the Ark of the Covenant through the Philistine cities provides one picture of God’s exclusive position over gods. The response of Rahab to the Israelite spies in Jericho is another, and so is Elijah’s showdown with the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. In each case the Lord exhibits power to save, while the gods of the nations do not. When one realizes that other gods are nothing more than created things (like the statue of Dagon), the call is to abandon the following of powerless things and commit oneself to following the one true God
