Podcasts about First Commandment

ABOUT THIS SERMON The sermon focuses on the First Commandment from Exodus 20 and explores the concept of putting God first in all areas of life. Pastor James emphasizes that the Ten Commandments were given as direction and guidance, not just as rules, and that they came in response to the Israelites seeking God's direction after their deliverance from Egypt. The sermon particularly emphasizes that whatever is first in our lives controls everything else, and God will not take second place in any area.

What does it mean when society begins to fear the very technology it creates? In this Free-Text First Friday episode, we examine artificial intelligence through a distinctly Lutheran lens. God's Word provides a framework for understanding our relationship to the tools we make, from the creation mandate to subdue the earth, through the fall and its effects on human work, to the redemption found in Christ. Along the way, we discover that AI is less a new problem and more a mirror reflecting the human heart back to itself. And Luther's explanation of the First Commandment reminds us that both excessive fear of AI and excessive trust in it can become forms of idolatry.  The Rev. A. Trevor Sutton, senior pastor of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Lansing, MI and author of Redeeming Technology, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe for this First Friday Free-Text edition of Thy Strong Word.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

You shall not have other gods is the first of the Ten Commandments. It is a lifelong call to exclusive devotion. In this powerful message from the “Two Sets of Ten” series, we examine what God truly meant when He declared, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20.3)This sermon unpacks the depth of that command, showing that it is not a suggestion or a temporary rule, but a permanent, ongoing requirement—now and forever.Many believers understand this commandment in theory, yet struggle to recognize how easily other “gods” can take God's rightful place. Through Scripture, this message reveals how money, success, careers, relationships, possessions, and even religious traditions can quietly become rivals for our devotion. God makes it clear that He alone is worthy of worship, declaring Himself a jealous God who will not share His glory with another (Exodus 34:14).This sermon explores the biblical meaning behind the phrase “shall not,” showing how God's commands are continuous and eternal—not limited to a single moment in time. From Exodus to the New Testament, Scripture emphasizes that God's authority is lasting and His Word transcends generations. “Besides Him there is no other” (Deuteronomy 4:35), and every believer is called to live with that truth at the center of daily life.You'll also gain clarity on prayer, worship, and spiritual authority by examining passages like 1 Timothy 2:5 and 1 Corinthians 8:5–6. The Bible affirms that there is one God, one mediator—Jesus Christ—and no place for praying to saints, idols, or created things. This message helps believers realign their theology, their prayer life, and their focus back to God alone.Practical examples challenge listeners to examine their priorities honestly. What consumes your time, energy, and passion? What do you protect, pursue, or trust more than God? Scripture warns that when anything takes God's place, it becomes a false god—and the consequences are spiritual drift and divided devotion (Colossians 3:23, 1 Timothy 6:10).Ultimately, this sermon calls believers to wholehearted surrender. To live for God means doing everything unto Him, recognizing Him as the source, authority, and purpose of life. When God is first, everything else falls into proper alignment. If you desire spiritual clarity, renewed devotion, and freedom from hidden idols, this message will challenge and strengthen your walk with Christ.Let the Holy Spirit reveal where your focus needs realignment, and commit to living out the first commandment with conviction, obedience, and love—because there truly is no other God besides Him.Referenced Verses: Exodus 20:3Exodus 34:141 Timothy 2:51 Corinthians 8:5-6Exodus 23:131 Timothy 6:10Deuteronomy 4:35Colossians 3:23Isaiah 45:5-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Welcome to Day 2786 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Unintended Consequences of Replacing Yahweh with “God” Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2786 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2786 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled The Unintended Consequences of Replacing Yahweh with “God”. In the pages of Scripture, the God of Israel reveals Himself by name, Yahweh, a name that marks His identity, His covenant, and His absolute uniqueness among all other spiritual beings. Yet somewhere in the history of Jewish and Christian tradition, this name was quietly replaced. Where once God was named, now He is merely titled. Yahweh became “the LORD.” Eventually, even “the LORD” gave way to “God,” a generic and universal term that can apply to almost any religious conception of the divine. What began as an effort to show reverence or accommodate translation has produced serious theological consequences. The loss of God's name has led to a distorted view of monotheism, erased key distinctions between Yahweh and other spiritual beings, and enabled poor apologetic compromises, such as the claim that “Allah is just the Arabic word for God.” It has also obscured the meaning of the First Commandment and weakened the Church's understanding of its own covenant relationship. This article traces how we got here and why recovering the name Yahweh is essential to restoring biblical clarity. The First Segment is: From Name to Title: How Yahweh Was Replaced. The divine name Yahweh (יהוה), also called the Tetragrammaton, appears over 6,800 times in the Hebrew Bible. In Exodus 3:15, God declares, “This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.” Yet despite this, a tradition developed during the Second Temple Period in which Jews refrained from pronouncing the divine name aloud. Instead, they substituted it with Adonai (“Lord”) during public readings. This practice, rooted in caution and reverence, carried over into Greek and Latin translations of the Bible. The Septuagint rendered Yahweh as Kyrios (“Lord”), and the Latin Vulgate followed suit with Dominus. English Bibles later preserved this substitution, using the stylized “LORD” in small caps, often without explaining to readers that a name was being replaced. As Christianity spread into the Gentile world, the name Yahweh virtually disappeared from common use. The God of the Bible came to be referred to simply as “God,” a word that is not a name at all, but a title. And not a unique title either, “God” can refer to any number of deities across religious systems or even to philosophical abstractions. In trying to show reverence or universality, the Church began to erase the very name by which the true God had distinguished Himself. The second segment is: The Problem with “God”: A Category, Not a Character This shift might seem minor, but it represents a profound theological error. In Hebrew, the word elohim is used to...

An exposition of the Westminster Larger Catechism.

This sermon expounds the Second Commandment, showing that while the First Commandment forbids worshiping false gods, the Second forbids worshiping or representing the true God in any false way. The sermon considers six reasons for this prohibition before considering how the commandment both prohibits images in worship (including nativity scenes, crucifixes with Jesus, children’s Bible illustrations of Christ, etc.) and commends knowing and worshiping God through his self-revelation in Scripture and in the living Word, Jesus Christ.

In this message, we look at the First Commandment--not as a harsh rule, but as a gracious invitation from a loving God. When the Lord says, “You shall have no other gods before Me,” He is calling His redeemed people to live with undivided hearts for Him. Rooted in God’s identity as our Creator, Redeemer, Judge, Savior, and Lawgiver, this sermon helps us recognize the subtle “rival gods” that compete for our trust and loyalty—whether the opinions of others, the pursuit of security or success, or the voices of culture and self. As we examine our hearts in the light of God’s Word, we are reminded that true freedom and wholeness are found not in divided allegiance, but in loving the Lord without rivals and placing Him back at the center of our lives.

Collective punishment is real and consistent with the Bible. National Judgement is Collective punishment -- the good and bad and young and old alike are affected. by national judgement when a nations goes off course and reject the First Commandment, and all the others. Examples of collective punishment, so-called "blood libel," and group guilt. The Ten Commandments are God's law for all nations.  Deuteronomy 28 outlines the consequences for the nation as a whole, for obedience to and rebellion from this national Law.  Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com

All the Prophets and Patriarchs, saw, heard, believed, walked with, sacrificed to, and (and the case of Jacob) wrestled with Jesus Christ. For, no man has seen the Father: ““not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God;” John 6:46.  “No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.”  John 1:18, “No one has seen God at any time.” 1 John 4:12. Jesus Christ is God the Creator, existing before the world, from the days of eternity (Micah 5:2), of one being with the Father, the Father's exact image. When the Disciples asked Jesus Christ to show them the Father, Jesus Christ said, essentially — you are looking at Him now: “He who has seen Me has seen the Father,” and “I am in the Father and the Fathers in in Me.” John 14:9-11. The Patriarchs and Prophets were Christians. What difference does this make? All the difference in the world: It is Jesus Christ that provided the ram skins to cover Adam and Eve. It is Jesus Christ that introduced the hatred between the see of the Serpent (aka the Brood of Vipers) and Himself (the Seed of the Woman). It is Jesus Christ that told Noah to build the Ark. It is Jesus Christ that Abraham worshipped, saw, spoke with and fed. It is Jesus Christ that ordered the fire-bombing of Sodom. It is Jesus Christ that orders the sacrifice of Isaac. It is Jesus Christ the Jacob wrestled and then declared “I have seen the face of God and lived.” It is Jesus Christ that Moses Worshipped. It is Jesus Christ that is the Rock giving  Living Water. It is Jesus Christ who is the subject of the First Commandment. It is Jesus Christ that gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. It is Jesus Christ who “spoke to Moses face-to face as a man speaks with a friend.” Ex 33:11 and Exodus 3:16 It is Jesus Christ before whom Samuel hacked Agag into pieces. It is Jesus Christ that ordered the Tribe of Judah to attack Benjamin (Judes 19-20) It is Jesus Christ that is the God of Gideon, Joshua, David, and Samson. It is Jesus Christ who touched the mouth of Jeremiah (Jer 1:9). It is Jesus Christ that Isaiah saw (Is 6:1) It is Jesus Christ with whom Enoch walked. It was Jesus Christ that was the “vision of God” of Ezekiel (Ez 1:1) and the “likeness of the glory of the Lord” above the Firmament (Ez 1:11-28) It is Jesus Christ that appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty. Exodus 6:3 It is Jesus Christ who established the covenant with the Patriarchs (Ex 6:4) It is Jesus Christ who whom the Levite's were loyal — their first act was to strap on weapons and slaughter those in rebellions against Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gave to the Law to Moses and it is Jesus Christ who warns us not to ignore His Law (Matthew 5:18-19). The Church has discarded the God of the Patriarchs and Prophets, which is Jesus Christ Himself. It has discarded the God of Enoch and Noah.  It has discarded the Law of Jesus Christ which are the Ten Commandments.  The Church is in trouble: ““These people come near to me with their mouth     and honor me with their lips,     but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me     is based on merely human rules they have been taught.”Isaiah 29:13 NIV   Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com 16 December 2025 A.D.

Modern Conservatism is collapsing, and it isn't because of the Left. It's because the Right has abandoned biblical order, biblical loyalty, and biblical leadership.In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm examining how our so-called conservative leaders have traded Christianity for political convenience, elevating foreign loyalties, unbiblical theology, and female authority over God's clearly established design. When prominent figures openly choose Judaism over Christianity and Israel over America, we must ask: What exactly are we conserving anymore?Scripture is clear: Christianity is a patriarchy with God as its Head, Christ as King, and men called to lead in righteousness. A movement that rejects this order will inevitably rot from the inside out.This episode is a call to return to:Christ over cultureFaith over foreign allegianceGod's elect over globalist prioritiesBiblical men over platformed female personalitiesIf Conservatism wants to survive, it must first repent.--https://www.bible.com/

Lord's Day Service | Pastor Travis Greene

#catholic #sspx #christthekingIf we look at all the of the problems in the world and in the Catholic Church today, they all really boil down to one problem. It is a first commandment problem. The first commandment is hardly being honored and practiced today.Now, it may seem that the first commandment is the easiest one of all to practice. “I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.” We can understand this commandment too simplistically, thinking it just commands us not to worship false gods, not to be an idolater.In the Gospel, however, Our Lord shows us, as it were, the other side of this commandment: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind”. Our Lord tells us that the whole of the law and prophets rests on this one law.This commandment might be referred to as a declaration of the rights of God. God is our Creator, our Redeemer, and our final end. As such, He has a right to demand our love. He has a right to make a law for every single one of us that we love Him above everything else.The biggest question for each one of us in our lives is whether or not we will respect the rights of God over us, whether we will love Him above all things or not. If we do, then we will spend all eternity with our heavenly Father in a state of perfect happiness. If we do not, we will go to Hell, because we had a first commandment problem. We could not follow that commandment.As I say, this is precisely the problem with the world and the Church today: the first commandment is not being followed. The rights of Christ the King are not being respected.Who is the idol that has been put in the place of God and is being loved more than God? The idol is man. Man today is worshipping himself.

When we, believers under the New Covenant, look at the Ten Commandments through the lens of Jesus's fulfillment of the Law, we better understand the first and greatest commandment. God is Yahweh. He is the One true God who rescues His people first, then leads them to live for Him with undivided hearts.

By Mark Kasperson - In this video sermon , we'll explore 3 action items to help us to better understand and keep the First Commandment. 1. Denying Self 2 Taking up your cross 3 Following God

Today is day 272 and we are studying The First Commandment. 272. How are you tempted to worship other gods?

Today is day 271 and we are studying The First Commandment. 271. Why are you tempted to worship other things instead of God?

Today is day 270 and we are studying The First Commandment. 270. What does it mean to have no other gods?
