132. What Is The Origin Of False Gods?

17:17 Podcast

Where did the false gods of the Bible even come from? Who invented them and why does it matter? Do they have any power?
In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer a listener question by looking at the history of most of the false gods mentioned in the Bible. In this episode, we find an interesting origin for each of them that stems back to one chapter in Scripture. We also dig through Scriptures to see how Satan works through these false gods to give them power, which is why we as believers need to be careful when it comes to “signs and wonders.” We hope that as you listen, you can see that the God of the Bible is the only actual God in the universe and has power to overcome any kind of evil!
