Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

Scripture Reading: Psalm 78:1-8 Text: HC LD 39 1) To Show 2) To Submit 3) To be Long-Suffering

Hebrews 10:22 is not an isolated invitation. It rests upon everything Paul has established concerning the finished work, sufficient sacrifice, and present priesthood of Jesus Christ. The command to "draw near" is therefore not built upon religious emotion, human merit, ceremonial observance, or personal worthiness. It is built entirely upon what Christ accomplished through His blood. Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

Joshua 11:15 (KJV) As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

Pastor Tom Ascol preaches through Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

This sermon explores the First Commandment through Jeremiah 10, emphasizing that God alone deserves supreme worship and glory. The preacher argues that idolatry is not merely bowing to statues but any affection or resource directed away from the true God toward lesser things like money, entertainment, or self. By examining the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the text highlights the necessity of knowing God as He truly is and rejecting all false gods. The message challenges listeners to recognize the seriousness of this sin and to actively choose Christ as their sole object of worship. Ultimately, it calls for a life of devoted obedience rooted in an intimate knowledge of God revealed in Scripture and Jesus Christ.

The sermon exhorts believers to love one another earnestly from a pure heart, grounding this command in the reality of spiritual rebirth through God's imperishable word. It outlines the necessity of removing hindrances such as malice, deceit, envy, and slander to cultivate genuine brotherly affection. The message emphasizes that sincere love is not self-generated but flows from the purified soul and the transformative power of the gospel. Believers are encouraged to desire spiritual nourishment with the same intensity as infants seeking milk, trusting in the eternal nature of God's word. Ultimately, the text calls for a life of obedience and holiness, resting in the assurance that the Lord is good and His counsel endures forever.

The sermon explores the true meaning of Jesus' command to 'judge not,' clarifying that discernment is necessary but condemning hypocritical judgment where one ignores their own faults while criticizing others. It emphasizes the importance of self-examination and personal repentance before attempting to correct another person's minor sins. The message connects this teaching to the broader context of seeking God for understanding and receiving His good gifts, highlighting the disparity between human evil and divine goodness. Furthermore, the message defines the Golden Rule as the summary of the Law and the Prophets, urging believers to treat others with the same kindness and patience they desire for themselves. Ultimately, the transcript argues that a society functions best when its citizens are governed by internal Christian values and self-control rather than relying solely on external political structures.

Main Idea: God created Adam to live in covenant fellowship with Himself by faithfully serving and obeying His Word. Main Points: I. Created by God's Hand (v.7) II. Commissioned for God's Work (v.15) III. Commanded by God's Word (vv.16-17)

At this point in Hebrews, the writer gives out a series of seemingly disconnected commands. However, in the connecting factor is love. The love of believers should extend to all saints, strangers, suffering believers, spouses, and their status. Being selfless and looking to Christ makes all of these things possible.
