    No Man-Made Images

    Text: Exodus 20:4-6 Speaker: Pastor Joshua Hughes Big idea: God will not be worshiped as less than he is, so the only image we will ever need in worship is the one he gave us in Christ. 1. The Prohibition "Worship of the living and true God is essentially an engagement with him on the terms that he proposes and in the way that he alone makes possible." - David Peterson Exodus 32:4-5 "It needs to be said with the greatest possible emphasis that those who hold themselves free to think of God as they like are breaking the second commandment." - J.I. Packer 2. The Premise - Idolatry diminishes God - Idolatry destroys us “What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration." - G.K. Beale - God is a jealous God 3. The Punishment Ezekiel 18:20 4. The Promise 2 Cor. 3:17-18

    No Other Gods

    Speaker: Pastor Joshua Hughes Text: Exodus 20:1-3 The Ten Commandments: Why we Need Them 1. They are written by God himself 2. They are rooted in creation 3. They are at the center. 4. They are the starting point for our ethics 5. They point us to Christ.* The Ten Commandments: How to Read Them We read them covenantally Big idea: Since God is God uniquely and God owns us completely, we worship him exclusively. "Familiarity with the biblical narrative of the Crucifixion has dulled our sense of just how completely novel a deity Christ was. In the ancient world, it was the role of gods who laid claim to ruling the universe to uphold its order by inflicting punishment—not to suffer it themselves. Today, even as belief in God fades across the West, the countries that were once collectively known as Christendom continue to bear the stamp of the two-millennia-old revolution that Christianity represents. It is the principal reason why, by and large, most of us who live in post-Christian societies still take for granted that it is nobler to suffer than to inflict suffering. It is why we generally assume that every human life is of equal value. In my morals and ethics, I have learned to accept that I am not Greek or Roman at all, but thoroughly and proudly Christian." - Tom Holland 1. What's Commanded 2. Why it Matters A. Because of who we are Idolatry defined: “Idolatry is having or inventing something in which one trusts in place of or alongside of the only true God, who has revealed himself in his Word.” - Heidelberg Catechism Q. 95 9 Reasons idolatry was tempting for Israel and us (Douglas Stuart) 1. It was guaranteed 2. It was selfish 3. It was easy 4. It was convenient 5. It was normal 6. It was logical 7. It was pleasing to the senses 8. It was indulgent 9. It was erotic B. Because of who God is

    Welcoming Witness and Wisdom

    Speaker: Pastor Kyle Kraeft   Scripture: Exodus 18   Big Idea: The wonder of God’s redemptive rule is seen in unexpected windows of ordinary welcome. I. A Welcomed Witness (vv. 1–12) - The posture of our witness: Humble hospitality is the soil of open ears and hearts - The proclamation of our witness: The gospel is the good news of God’s sovereign mercy and deliverance. - The power of our witness: If God can defeat nations, part seas, and rain manna, he can change hearts.  II. A Welcomed Wisdom (vv. 13–27) 1. Welcome the Wisdom of Humility - Humility is both the approach and the approachability of wisdom. 2. Welcome the Wisdom of (your) Humanity “You and I were never meant to repent for not being everywhere for everybody and all at once. You and I are meant to repent because we’ve tried to be.”  Zack Eswine "God delights in our finitude: he is not embarrassed or shocked by our creatureliness. Since he is not apologetic about it, we should stop apologizing for it ourselves." - Kelly Kapic 3. Welcome the Wisdom of Help Eph. 4:11-16 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ… when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Deut. 4:5-7, “See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. Keep them and do them, for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?” 4. Welcome the Wisdom of Holiness 5 Welcome Wisdom Himself
