well, good morning, good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to all of you. My name is dan, if I haven’t met you yet, I’m one of the elders here at sewer church and I was just trying to take in some of what mike was saying there. I mean that’s pretty awesome. All those class awards man. I, I don’t think I won that many class awards. I think I was more known for being kind of a troublemaker class clown. I mean the least likely guy to be preaching I think from my class, I think I did you know when best dress? I think that was it. That was it ironically because my brother is, is a better dresser than me and we were in the same class. He red shirted uh, kindergarten. So we went to school together even though he was a year older. Yeah, they give out red shirts for academic reasons these days. But no Happy Mother’s Day. It is, it is great. What an amazing day it is. I’m thankful for my mom. She taught me how to stand up for myself. Um she literally told me that if I got beat up, I had better not come home crying. And so I learned to fight. Um, But how’s this for a mother’s day message? The 3rd commandment don’t take the Lord’s name in vain. The third commandment, that’s our Mother’s Day message today, We are in week three of our coverage of the 10 commandments, right? And we’re gonna look at the third commandment today and I do think there is some relation to being a mom when you think about the application of this commandment, because moms especially moms of young Children can relate to how often your name is called throughout the day. For the silliest reasons. Mom Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom, look at this mom and that’s it. You know, just like okay kind of reminds me of the scene from nemo, you know the animated movie, the little orange fish. When the seagulls would yell out. Mind. Mind mind mind mind, right? That’s what little Children can be like. Sometimes mind, mind, mind mom Mom Mom mine mine mine they go back and forth. So I think mothers can relate to the third commandment which talks about taking the Lord’s name in vain. Now on that note, let’s let’s get a little more serious. Let’s look at look at the word of God. Turn with me in your bibles to exodus. Chapter 20 We’re gonna reverse seven. Uh This is the third commandment. And while you’re turning there, I do want to prepare you. I want to prep you for today’s message right first I want to remind you simply this that jesus our savior, right? He he took the penalty for the law on our behalf. And so if we are in christ if jesus is our Lord and Savior. The penalty for the law which is death is no longer ours. He took that upon himself on the cross, right? So when the scripture says that we’re no longer under law but under grace, it means we are no longer under the threat of the punishment and the severity of the law because jesus, he took that on our behalf on the cross. And so I think that’s important for us to remember as we unpack the 10 commandments. And the second thing we want to reiterate is that law and gospel or complementary, because the law points us to christ and the Gospel establishes the law as God’s just and righteous standard of which we weren’t able to meet, but christ met on our behalf. And so today, as we unpack this third commandment, you will feel bit of the weight of the holiness of God and weightiness of the law. I just want to remind you if you were in christ that your faith, your faith is not based on how you feel moment to moment. Your faith is based on the finished work of christ. And as you feel the weightiness of the law and the holiness of God, I want you to change the narrative in your own soul. And then you’re thinking in that moment and say God, let your glory be revealed. Your glory be revealed. May your glory feel the earth Am…
