The First Commandment

Sermon text: Exodus 20:1–3 Main idea: “You shall have no other gods before YHWH.” Discussion questions: What two important truths does God reveal by reminding Israel of His redeeming grace before giving them His righteous Law? What does it mean to not have gods “before” YHWH? What does it mean to "look at the context" to determine the meaning of a word, verse, or story in the Bible that you don't understand? What did Dan suggest is the "essential vice"—the one that "leads to every other vice"? Do you agree? How has Jesus "magnified" the first commandment? How can we keep it in light of that? What “gods” do you bring before YHWH that you need to repent of and forsake? What "heart idols" do you need Jesus to demolish?
