On Sunday, we continued studying Jeremiah's warnings to the Israelites, spotlighting how they began to image other gods instead of Yahweh. As Mike Erre put it, we become like what we worship.

So, Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind are here to help respond to those queries.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro01:04 If pumpkin spice lattes were a person07:50 Seth Erre shout out14:00 Qontent, questions and qlarifying responses begin- - - - -Have a question or comment for the NOW team?
