The Second, Exodus 20:4-6

January 16, 2022 • Josh Lindstrom • Exodus 20:4–6

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image” (Exodus 20:4). The Israelites were commanded not to create and/or worship any image, for God is a jealous God. The warning against doing so is that God will visit the iniquities of fathers and mothers on their future children and grandchildren. At the time, we may not realize how the idols we hold will impact others, but God is clear that the life we live matters as we seek to raise up future followers of Christ.

Sermon Points:

I. The second. Exodus 20:4-5a

II. The justification. Exodus 20:5b
