What if the greatest idols in your life aren't statues—but the things you can't imagine living without?

In this episode of Pulpitless, Pastor Greg takes a deeper look at two obscure names from Amos 5—Sikkuth and Kiyyun—and uncovers a timeless truth about the human heart. Ancient Israel didn't necessarily abandon God; they simply carried other gods alongside Him. Their worship looked right on the outside, but their trust belonged somewhere else.

What are we carrying today?

Whether it's our reputation, career, finances, family, success, appearance, or need for control, anything we rely on for our identity, security, or peace can become an idol. The tragedy is that false gods always demand more while giving less. They promise life but leave us exhausted because we spend our lives carrying them.

The Gospel offers a glorious reversal. Scripture doesn't present a God who needs to be carried—it reveals a God who carries His people. Through Jesus Christ, we are invited to lay down the burdens of self-salvation and rest in the finished work of the One who bears us by His grace.

Join Pastor Greg as he explores one of the most overlooked passages in Amos and asks the question that every believer should consider:

Is what you're carrying actually carrying you?
