In Gold or Brass (Part 2), Pastor Ed Russo exposes how easily the modern church can trade the genuine power of God for religious performance and appearances. Drawing from 1 Kings 14, he warns that King Rehoboam’s brass shields were no substitute for Solomon’s gold, and neither are our programs, lights, or platforms a replacement for the presence of God. This message challenges us to stop settling for substitutes and return to the purity of Jesus Christ, the true cornerstone. When people look closely at our lives, will they see gold or just brass polished to shine?
