Attack On Idols- Power
Attack on idols – Week 2: power + Control
King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream revealed the fragility of earthly kingdoms and the unstoppable power of God’s eternal kingdom. Control is an idol we often hold tightly — over money, careers, and decisions — but true peace comes from surrender. Week 2 we learn how to attack the idol of control by trusting God with every area of life and acknowledging Him as the King of kings.
