Landon Patrick. Your your first job might not be in Lincoln, but your second job is in Lincoln. We’ll leave the light on for you. Welcome back if you guys want to come back. But we sure love students. Thank you for doing that guys. I was smart. Um, let’s let me share a quick story. I was driving back from church last week and I was asking one of my sons like, what do you think of church? It was good. I’m like, what? What about about the sermons? Like? It was good. I’m like, all right, I have a question, dad, Why are we xing out the commandments aren’t commandments a good thing. I’m like, son. There’s this thing called roman numerals. You’ll get to that eventually. Or or your mom already covered in school, but there’s roman numerals and this is the 10 commandments. And so why why would we spend 10 weeks looking at the 10 Commandments? That’s a big thing. We’re given prime real estate, 10 Sundays looking at the 10 commandments. Why are we spending so much time looking at something that happened so long ago? There’s a reason why the main reason why we’re looking at the 10 commandments is it gives you a glimpse a picture into the values and priorities and character of the God who wrote them, who said them to the nation of Israel. The bible tells us all about the character of God. The righteousness of God all about God. And the idea is that after spending 10 weeks studying the 10 commandments. You get a better idea what the mind of God is, what he cares about, where we’re going, what he values and us as people, you won’t have a perfect idea of God after this seven, but you should have a more structured, focused vision of what God’s vision is for our relationship in the future based on the 10 Commandments. And so before we go much further, I like to take a moment here and bow our heads and pray, Let’s let’s ask God to bless our time. Lord. We’re attempting to do a supernatural work. God looking at your word of the Lord, the Lord trying to communicate what you’re teaching us today. This is a is a weighty heavy thing where we don’t want to take this lightly. We don’t want to gloss over this. We don’t want to move quickly through this Lord. I pray that you just help us to settle our hearts down so our minds down and focus on eternity. Focus on our relationship with you, focus on what you’re saying in the second commandment. I ask that you just really multiply our time. Help us to cover a lot and a limited amount of time together, Lord, but I ask that you just help protect us from the trap of listening learning and not doing anything. I don’t know why we’re doing what we’re doing, helps us lean into our our theology so it can impact our live Ology as christians I said, you just grow our understanding of you, our love for you and our desire to want to live for you, make this Word of God come alive and convict our hearts. Like only you can we commit this time to you in jesus name Amen. Alright. So let’s read over the passage together. Exodus chapter 20 starting in verse one. And God spoke all these words saying, I am the Lord, your God who brought you out of the Land of Egypt out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. That was last week. This is this week, verse four, The second commandment. You shall not make for yourself. A carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord, your God am a jealous God Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the Children to the 3rd and 4th generation of those who hate me. But showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments who love me and keep my commandments. So it’s important for us to realize that …
