Exodus 20:1-11 | We keep the Sabbath or the Lord’s day holy by resting the whole day, not just from doing things that are inherently sinful at any time, but even from worldly affairs and recreations that are lawful on other days. Except for necessary works or acts of mercy, we should joyfully spend all our time publicly and privately worshipping God.

Exodus 20:1-7 | The third commandment requires the holy and reverent use in our thoughts, meditations, words, and writings, of God’s name and anything else by which God makes himself known. This means our affirmations of our faith and our conduct or behavior must match our affirmations to the glory of God and the good of ourselves and the others. Our behavior can never complement the holiness of God’s character without Christ Jesus living in and through us what is pleasing to God.

Exodus 20:1-6 | This week's sermon is given by Rev. Dr. Robert Howard continues our study in Exodus. The second commandment requires us to recieve, perform, and preserve all the regulations for worship that God has established in His word. These include: prayer, the reading, preaching, and hearing of the world; the administration of and receiving the sacraments; church government and discipline; the administration and upkeep of the church; religious fasting; swearing by the name of God; and making vows to Him. Also included are disapproving, denouncing, and opposing false worship and doing our best, in accordance with our position and calling in life, to eliminate it and all forms of idolatry. Idolatry is the chief sin of the human heart and impossible to resist except by grace and power of Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Exodus 20:1-3 | This week's sermon is given by Rev. Dr. Robert Howard continues our study in Exodus. What does it mean to have no other gods? The first commandment requires us to know and recognize God as the only true God and our God and to worship and glorify him and rejoicing in him. We must also be zealous for and call on him, giving him all praise and thanks completely obeying and submitting to him in our whole person. Finally, we must walk humbly with him being careful to please him in everything we say and do and being genuinely sorry when we offend him. We are completely unable to do so without the indwelling help of Jesus Christ.

Exodus 20:1-2; 1 Peter 1:15-21 | This week's sermon is given by Rev. Dr. Robert Howard continues our study in Exodus. Christians are called to be holy. What does that holiness look like? How are we made holy and what place does God’s law have in helping us in the obligation to be holy as God is holy?

Exodus 19:21-25; Romans 3:9-20 | This week's sermon is given by Rev. Dr. Robert Howard continues our study in Exodus. If we are saved by grace through faith, what role does the moral law play in living the Christian life? If the works of the law cannot save us from the judgement of God concerning our sin, then what place does the law of God play in our salvation?
