When Jehovah God brought Israel out of Egyptian slavery, he called them to be his covenant nation and said, “You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3 NIV) After 430 years in Egypt and centuries of worshipping Egypt's gods (see Joshua 24:14), Israel found it hard to forget their pagan ways. But many in Israel did keep the command to worship Jehovah only and put him first. In this episode, you'll hear about some of those amazing people who put God first. They understood that he would tolerate no competition from anything or anyone who tries to replace him in a believer's life. – and you'll also find out why Jesus said his disciples must "take up their cross" and follow him.
