2/25/07 - "No Other Gods Pt. 2" - Ex 20:4-6

CVERC — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 15:47:00 -0500

Last week we looked at the second commandment from the perspective of being bold in our willingness to trust in the purpose and plan of our sovereign God. He has told us not to bow to idols and so we must obey. We saw the example of Shadrach, Mescach and Abednego in Daniel 3 and were encouraged by their example. In this message we will look more closely at what idolatry is.

02/18/07 - "No other God" - Exodus 20:4-6, Daniel 3

CVERC — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 21:30:00 -0500

For the next two weeks we are going to study the second commandment: Exodus 20:4-6. To assist us in understanding the level of commitment that God desires of us in rejecting idolatry, I’m going to use Daniel 3 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as an illustration. I encourage you, however, to look in your studies this week at the many other passages in the Bible that refer to idolatry.
