The 2nd commandment is about "How" we worship.

1. THE PROTECTION OF WORSHIP

Israel is commanded to eliminate all remnants and reminders of idolatrous worship. They are also to establish a central place of worship. All these protect the corporate worship of YHWH.

2. THE POSTURE OF WORSHIP

Unlike the abominable and cruel worship acts of Canaanites, Israel is to worship with rejoicing. They rejoice because they know God is the one who has delivered them from slavery into the abundant Promised land. And out of that joy, they give and sacrifice. True worship is gospel- and grace- centered. Out of gratitude for Jesus and His love, we rejoice and present ourselves a living sacrifice.

3. THE PRIORITY OF WORSHIP

The chapter opens and closes with a call to be careful to do all that is commanded. Also, when we see the kings of Israel, the KPI (Key Performance Index) seems to be their allegiance to true worship.

The Ascended and Victorious Christ provides Word ministers to equip every believer to build the body of Christ. As each member speaks the truth of the gospel in love to each other, the body grows toward maturity in Christ, united in sound understanding and grows away from staying an infant at the merciless waves of deceit. God’s design for the church is not passive attendance but active, gospel-shaped participation, with every part working together under Christ the head.

By Pastor Chee Keen

This message is a look at the cross, from the perspective of the resurrection, to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of what Jesus did for us, according to the Gospel. Through the journey of Thomas, from doubt to faith, of seeing and believing, we will observe a moving human drama of an unexpected encounter with the living God. And this may perhaps be our own journey too.

By Brother Luzerne Cheng

King David seeks out Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson. Though from the house of his enemy, David shows him kindness for Jonathan’s sake, restoring Saul’s land and giving him a permanent place at the king’s table. Mephibosheth, who calls himself a “dead dog,” is treated as one of the king’s sons—a stunning reversal that seems too good to be true.

This passage points us to Jesus, the ultimate kind King who offers grace that seems too goodto be true. God extends His kindness to “dead dogs” like us—dead in sin and of other allegiances— inviting us to sit at the King’s table not because of merit, but because of His generous kindness. Yet the kind King will return in judgment for those who reject His grace.

Our identity as adopted children, seated at His table, should transform how we view God and how we serve Him—with joyful willingness rather than joyless duty.

By Pastor Yu Fei Sin

The legacy that matters most isn’t what we achieve but the faith we pass on.

When we receive God’s truth deeply and retell His works boldly, we become a living bridge for those who come after us. This is the heartbeat of Psalm 78—faith that refuses to die with one generation.

May we be steadfast to Gospel Light’s mission, leading the next generation of believers who will one day rise, remember, and place their hope in Him.

By Hanniel Sinon

Life is full of seasons we don’t choose and moments we can’t control, so it often feels confusing and unfinished.

We move from joy to sorrow, from gain to loss, unable to stop time from pushing us along. Yet we still long for something more whole, lasting, and meaningful than life under the sun.

Solomon tells us this ache is no accident: God has put eternity in our hearts. Our restlessness isn’t meant to crush us but to draw us back to Him. To recognise that He is God and we are not, and that only He can satisfy our deepest hunger.

In the end, Ecclesiastes shows that this ache is an invitation to trust the One who holds time, to fear Him rightly, and to find in Him the life we were made for.

By Pastor Jason Lim

In 7 repetitions, Moses gives his reminders to Israel to love and obey God in this passage. Here we also learn:

1. THE MEANING OF LOVING GOD

To love God means fearing Him, walking in His ways, serving Him, keeping His commands, and clinging to Him: with right perspective, practice, passion, posture, principles, and perseverance.

2. THE MOTIVATIONS OF LOVING GOD

We love God because He first loved us, setting his sovereign love on undeserving sinners; yet Scripture warns that those in church but not in Christ, remain under his wrath and face judgment.

3. THE MANIFESTATIONS OF LOVING GOD

True love for God is seen in love for others, leadership of people to God, and loyalty to God

So, how can one truly love God? It is not natural to man. It must be a gift. It has to be a divine operation of the Spirit.

But one can humble oneself and ask God to give that new heart.

By Pastor Jason Lim

Israel is to love God with their all. And now in Deuteronomy 7, God calls for a total and radical elimination of the Canaanites by Israel. Why? Is this just? And how?

1. REQUIREMENT

Is God a moral monster? Is He good and just in this apparent Canaanite genocide? Discover 7 principles that will help you make sense of this command and how you can respond to seekers.

2. REASON

The clearing of the Canaanites is predicated on the sovereign love of God for Israel. In the same way, we fight sin today because of God's love for us.

3. REASSURANCE

We can have victory over sin because of Christ- we died with Him, and His Spirit lives in us. Discover what this means for you today.

By Pastor Jason Lim

To love God, Israel must remember Him: not merely in thought but in a life of obedience. This the key to true life and abundance.

1. REMEMBER GOD IN YOUR PAIN

The wilderness is God’s classroom, where pain exposes our hearts and teaches us to trust Him: so don’t waste your pain; humble yourself and remember His goodness.

2. REMEMBER GOD IN YOUR PROSPERITY

When things go well, pride can lift us up into self-reliance (“my power did this”) or self-righteousness (“I’m better than others”), but every good gift comes from God by grace.

3. REMEMBER GOD IN YOUR PARDON

As Moses pleaded for Israel on the basis of God’s promise and glory, so Jesus now intercedes for us (Heb 7:25), saving us completely as our forgiveness rests not on our goodness but on God’s faithful grace.

Remember God in every season by loving and obeying Him, for where Israel failed, Jesus obeyed perfectly and died for our sins: so remember Him for His gospel.

Christian parenting is not aiming for Harvard, but Heaven. But to point our children to God and His gospel requires work.

In Deuteronomy 6, we learn it involves:

1. INTERNALISATION

To teach God's Word, we need to internalise God's word. Not just to know or to memorise, but to also live it out. To help our kids know what it means to love God, we 've got to love God!

2. IMPARTATION

It is the parents' responsibility to teach our children about God. This cannot be farmed out. We've got to do it convincingly, consistently, conversationally, creatively and conspicuously.

3. INSTRUCTIONS

We are to teach our children the Shema (last week's sermon). But this passage elaborates further on what that all means. It is about the Favour of God, the Fear of God & the Faith in God.

We’ll never fully keep the Shema—but Jesus did. He paid our sin debt. Come to the cross and find grace in Him alone.
