Untouchable Idols

Have you ever celebrated a public victory but struggled with private compromise? In this sermon, we encounter the dramatic rise of King Jehu—a leader whose fierce zeal toppled Jezebel and demolished the idols of Baal, yet left the golden calves of convenience untouched.

After ten years of journeying together—through hospital rooms, shared prayers, and everyday life—I invite you into one of Scripture’s most unsettling accounts. Jehu’s story confronts us with questions we can’t ignore:

Why do we sometimes destroy obvious idols while protecting hidden ones?

How can justice be so swift and yet our hearts still divided?

What happens when we settle for only partial surrender to God?

We dive into:

The fall of Jezebel and the unshakable certainty of God’s Word

How evil systems survive through compromise, silence, and complicity

The contrast between alliances that lead to judgment and faithfulness that leads to God’s favor

Jehu’s cunning strategy to end Baal worship in Israel—outward transformation without inner change

The tragedy of partial reform: how refusing to confront our own “golden calves” leads to shrinking strength and blessing

This message is not about performing harder, but letting the true King—Jesus—do a deeper work in us. His zeal cleanses not just temples, but our very consciences. His cross offers the forgiveness, freedom, and transformation partial obedience can never deliver.

Key Scriptures:
2 Kings 9–10 - Isaiah 40:8 - Galatians 6:7 - Romans 1:32 - Proverbs 13:20 - Psalm 94:20–21 - Deuteronomy 28 - Exodus 34:14

You’ll discover:

Why public victories mean little if private idols remain

How Scripture’s warnings and promises always stand

The devastating cost of selective obedience—and the hope for complete surrender

Jesus, the true King, who finishes what Jehu started in every open heart

If you long for more than outward change—if you want the kind of freedom, wholeness, and blessing that only the gospel secures—this sermon is for you.
