The idea of the self-made man or woman is not only a myth; it is also a misunderstanding of the means and ends of power. When we take utmost pride in our power or achievements, we become worshippers of the idol of power – leading to pride – and beasts – leading to inhumane behaviour. The worship of the true God through the gospel of Christ grants us humility to the humane use of power and the right use of achievements.

From Series: "Idols and the City"

Lagosians know a thing or two about physical idols but in the 21st century we think of them more as harmless cultural artefacts kept in museums. The Bible however, teaches us that they’re more than that – our hearts are idol-making factories that exert power on us through three main surface idols: Money, Sex and Power. In the “Idols and the City” sermon series, from September 2nd to November 25th, we will see that only the Gospel of Christ can truly give us the fulfillment we seek from these idols and deliver us from their bondage.
