Sermon from September 27

The Ten Commandments
2. You Shall Not Make for Yourself an Idol

Exodus 20: 1 - 6

1. If you create or invent a god, you are in control of what it can and can't do. You are in control of the religion.

2. It's okay to have hobbies, interests, friends and loved ones, but it's not okay to place them above God in your heart.

3. God wants an intimate relationship with us. He is jealous when we love anything more than him. Idolatry is spiritual adultery.

4. The lingering effects of idolatry effect our children and grandchildren. Ezekiel 18: 1 - 4

5. God's mercy is greater than his wrath.

6. Jesus said we cannot serve two masters. Matthew 6:24
