Mobile Ed: PD102 Idolatry and the Power of the Cross (2 hour course)
Overview
What is idolatry, and how do we identify it? Elyse Fitzpatrick—biblical counselor and author of over 15 books—demonstrates how idolatry can destroy ministries and teaches key steps for leaders to identify idolatry before it takes root. Focusing on God’s commands against idolatry in the Old and New Testaments, she illustrates how the worship of idols manifested in the lives of biblical characters.
