The main point
Idolatry is misplaced trust from a sick heart, and Christ gives a new heart.
About this message
Through Jeremiah, God tells Judah that their sin is engraved on their hearts with an iron pen, and that the heart is deceitful above all things. Bogdan Pishtoy preaches Jeremiah 17:1-10 on the idols that settle in our hearts like squatters. He shows how God exposes idolatry, names it as misplaced trust from a deceitful heart, and defeats it by searching us with trials and giving a new heart through Christ, the truly blessed man.
For anyone who suspects something other than God has taken over their heart.
