“The Golden Calf” — Sam Helberg, Elder

Sermon Outline

Kernel:

The Israelites utterly broke covenant with God by worshipping an idol and were on the verge of annihilation, were it not for the intervening work of Moses. We also have all gone our own way and deserve God's wrath, but for the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
