The Second Commandment: Worship God Rightly | Exodus 20:4-6

These days it’s common to hear in Christian circles that it doesn’t really matter how you worship, as long as you are sincere in your worship to God, that’s the important thing. Diverse expressions of worship are welcomed, especially the use of our creativity in worship. These can be expressed in many forms in the worship service, from coloured lights, smoke machines, candles, incense, the use of dance, drama; or pictures, artworks, icons, crucifixes and films depicting either of the three Persons of the Godhead. It is said that these things can help us to focus on God more and improve our worship of him.

In this sermon we look at the Second Commandment. On the surface, the command forbids the production of images related to the worship of God. While it most certainly does forbid depicting God in any way, what we are going to see is that this command is much more comprehensive than that. In fact, the Second Commandment speaks into every aspect of our worship to the Lord. We’ll see that because God is a jealous God, we must worship him according to how he has commanded us in his Word.

Preacher: Rev. Antonio Coppola.
