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.

Why Christians Need the Law | Exodus 20:1-2

A church I once attended used to have a big board at the back of the church which displayed the Ten Commandments. It had presumably been there since the church was built. But one Sunday I noticed that the board had been quietly removed. There was no explanation, no reason given. But one can only assume that the reason was that the leadership no longer believed that the law was relevant for Christians. Why else would you remove the Ten Commandments from a church?
This example reveals one of two common errors that Christians often tend toward concerning the law. The first is illustrated in the story I’ve just shared – the belief that the law is not binding upon Christians, instead it’s all about grace. This view has always been around, the apostles confront this view in the New Testament, and it's known as antinomianism (no law). The second view is that it’s our obedience to the law that makes us right with God, or salvation through law keeping. This is also known as legalism. Biblical Christianity is neither of these views.
In this sermon we are going to focus on the prologue to the Ten Commandments (the first two verses of Exodus 20), before getting into each of the Commandments. We will first get an overview before we take a deep dive. In doing this, we’re going to look at the authority and relevance of the law for us as believers in Christ. What we’re going to see is that because Christ has saved us, we have been set free to obey him.

God’s Treasured Possession | Exodus 19

As in any relationship, whether it’s marriage, or a friendship, or your relationship with your employer; boundaries and expectations have to be set and clearly communicated in order to ensure the success of that relationship. Good relationships typically don’t happen without some sort of a structure to guide them.
We’ve arrived at a hugely significant part of the Exodus narrative. God has delivered Israel – his “treasured possession” out of Egypt and has brought them to Mount Sinai where he will clarify and establish his relationship to them. He will do this through a covenant, with Moses as its mediator. This covenant – what we know as the Mosaic Covenant – will form the bedrock of how God relates to his people Israel and will guide their existence in the Promised Land that the Lord is about to give them. An important part of this covenant is summed up in the Ten Commandments which we’re going to camp out on over the coming weeks.
What we’re going to see is that this covenantal arrangement is not an end in itself. Israel will receive a law that they’re unable to keep and they will come before the presence of God whom they’re unable to approach. Instead, we’re going to see that this covenant ultimately points us to Christ and the glories of the new covenant. Because Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, we can approach God freely.
