Living Word Fellowship - Connecticut Pastor Kevin Wilson

From the healing of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 to the circumcising of the Israelites under Joshua to the baptizing of Christians under the New Covenant, there is a connection. This week we explore that link and shed light on what water baptism is really meant to convey.

In Egypt the Israelites only knew their identity through what they produced (bricks). In order to break that slave-mentality God tells them to "Remember the Sabbath". Is your life defined by what you produce?

In the 3rd Commandment God tells the Israelites to not take His name in vain. This week we explore what that actually means and how it applies to our lives today.

The 2nd Commandment (like the previous) outlines stipulations for the covenant between God and the Hebrews. Don't limit who God is by creating an image/idol of Him to worship. He is bigger than your understanding of Him! This applies to us today as well. In what ways do we make God bigger/smaller than He really is?

The lead up to the giving of the Ten Commandments in chapter 20 shadows a traditional Jewish Wedding. In the form of a Ketubah - the first commandment has God telling the Israelites that they must choose Him over everything else in order for this covenant to work. Do you love others more than God?

For many - the 10 Commandments are a set of restrictive rules given by an angry God to control His people with. Yet, in Exodus 20:1-2 we see that they begin with a message of grace: God saves. How should this impact how we view Him in our own daily lives?
