Sermon Text: Exodus 20:7

We continue our study examining the ten commandments as expressions of freedom attempting to create Israel as an alternative society to those like Egypt. We usually think of the third commandment as a religious stricture designed to foster reverence. However, in this sermon we see that the third commandment is much more than that. In fact it is the key to all of the ten commandments as Israel seeks to fulfill their mission of being God’s chosen representative and a priest to the nations. Some great Hebrew word study and some reminiscing on 80’s Christian t-shirts.
