Podcasts about Fourth Commandment

Which sin does the Bible emphasize most—and what does it reveal about the dangers of institutionalized disobedience? This article argues that Jeroboam's subtle, respectable-looking idolatry became Israel's most destructive sin and offers striking parallels for Adventist mission and the call to uphold true worship today.

Episode Summary In Part 4 of That They May Have Life, we continue our morality series by moving through the Fourth Commandment's reach into civil society and then turning to the Fifth Commandment: “You shall not kill.” We begin with Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), where the Lord deepens the commandment beyond the external act of murder to the interior roots of anger, contempt, and vengeance. From there we explore why every human life is sacred, what the Church teaches about abortion, euthanasia, suicide, and scandal, and how Catholics are called to protect life with both truth and mercy. We also address legitimate defense, the responsibilities of civil authority, the Christian duty toward the common good, and the Church's role in making moral judgments when fundamental human rights or the salvation of souls is at stake. The session concludes by previewing the next series on the sacraments. Key Scripture Matthew 5:21–48 (anger, purity of heart, truthfulness, mercy, love of enemies) Luke 10:27 (love of God and neighbor) Matthew 22:37–40 (the greatest commandments) Mark 1:15 (repent and believe in the Gospel) Matthew 10:37 (loving Christ above family ties) Matthew 22:21 (render to Caesar…) Acts 5:29 (we must obey God rather than men) Topics Covered Recap: beatitude, repentance, law and grace, the Decalogue The Fourth Commandment and the “domestic church” Civil society, authority, and conscientious objection Witness of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter and A Hidden Life The Fifth Commandment: why human life is sacred Abortion: truth, mercy, and the Church's positive duty to support mothers and families Euthanasia vs. allowing natural death (ordinary vs. extraordinary means) Suicide: the objective evil of the act, diminished culpability, and Christian hope Scandal, gossip/slander, bodily integrity, organ donation, and peace Legitimate defense, punishment, just war principles, and the death penalty as a prudential judgment Practical Takeaways Ask: Where do anger, contempt, or vengeance take root in my heart? Protect life with both conviction and compassion—especially by helping people in crisis Pray for leaders and seek the common good without losing charity Remember: the Lord's call is not perfectionism, but conversion toward love Next Episode Next week we begin a new series on the sacraments, starting with Baptism and Confirmation.

In this message, we explore how the Fourth Commandment reveals the Sabbath not as a burdensome rule but as a gracious gift woven into Creation itself—a holy rhythm of work and rest that reminds us who God is and who we are. We see that to “remember” the Sabbath is to live in light of God’s covenant faithfulness, trusting Him as both Creator and Deliverer. The Sabbath protects us from turning work into slavery, restores dignity to every person, and declares that our time ultimately belongs to the Lord. Most importantly, it points beyond a day to a Person—Jesus Christ—who fulfills the promise of true rest and invites us to stop striving and enter the finished work of His grace.

The Law of God and the Christian Life (Lesson 4)

The Sabbath is not merely a day on the calendar. It is a sacred time God set apart for rest, reflection, and renewal. This teaching invites believers to embrace the command to “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8–11; Exodus 34:21), exploring why rest is not an optional, but an essential, part of walking in obedience to God.This sermon from the “Two Sets of Ten” series examines the eighth commandment, highlighting the difference between human works and God's will. While God rested from His creative work on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2–3), He continues to accomplish His will in the world. Believers are called to rest from their labor while remaining active in God's purposes, allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through their lives in ministry, prayer, and service.Through Scripture-rich teaching, this message clarifies that the Sabbath is a time to step away from personal effort, recharge spiritually, and align daily life with God's will. Passages like Exodus 16:26 and Mark 2:27 reveal that the Sabbath was made for mankind, not mankind for the Sabbath, emphasizing rest as a gift from God, not a burden.Listeners will discover how true rest is found not merely in ceasing activity, but in engaging in God-centered pursuits that renew the soul, such as prayer, study of the Word, and ministry to others. The sermon also addresses practical application, encouraging believers to honor one day a week for God, to set aside personal labor, and to invest fully in spiritual growth and communion with Him.This teaching challenges the culture of busyness, showing that even in work, believers can operate under God's guidance and experience joy, energy, and spiritual vitality. By distinguishing between works and God's will, believers learn to live in the rhythm God intended—productive in His purposes, yet restored in their bodies and minds.Ultimately, this message calls Christians to embrace the Sabbath as a divine gift, using it to deepen their relationship with God, strengthen their spiritual discipline, and live fully aligned with His design for life and work.Referenced Verses: Exodus 20:8Exodus 34:21Exodus 16:26Exodus 20:9-10Exodus 20:10bGenesis 2:2Genesis 2:3Exodus 20:11Mark 2:27-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Episode Summary In this session, we turn to Christian morality through the lens of the Ten Commandments—always interpreted in light of Jesus Christ who “came not to abolish but to fulfill” the Law (Matthew 5:17–20). We review the foundations: beatitude as our common end, the call to repentance, and the way law and grace work together. Then we walk through the First Table of the Decalogue (Commandments 1–3) and begin the Fourth Commandment, covering practical questions like the occult/mediums, superstition, reverence for God's name, keeping Sunday holy, holy days of obligation, and the precepts of the Church. We conclude with Q&A about livestream/TV Mass and the Sunday obligation, then close in prayer. Key Scripture Matthew 5:17–20 — Christ fulfills the Law Luke 10:27; 1 John — Love of God and neighbor together Topics Covered Why the Ten Commandments must be read through Christ Beatitude and the moral choices it demands Law and grace: the “fence around the playground” Commandment 1: no other gods; idolatry; divination/occult; superstition; simony; sacrilege Q&A: “mediums,” charisms, discernment, and why Christians should not seek occult power Commandment 2: reverence for God's name; blasphemy; perjury; habitual flippant speech; profanity and speech discipline Commandment 3: Sunday worship; rest; culture of Sunday; holy days; precepts; fasting/abstinence; Fridays as penance Commandment 4 (beginning): link between love of God and love of neighbor; honoring parents; family as domestic church; duties of children and parents Practical Takeaways Ask: What “idols” compete with God in my life right now? Treat God as Father, not a vending machine—avoid superstition in devotional life Make Sunday visibly different when possible (worship, rest, joy) Recover Friday penance/charity as a quiet, countercultural witness Next in the Series Miss Nancy Glover: Catholic Social Teaching (next week) Then return to continue Commandments 4–10

In this sermon, we consider the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath Day. We consider whether the 10 commandments are binding for the Christian - and if not, then how they are relevant to us today. We then consider how we can Sabbath in a way which gives God glory and which is helpful for us as humans. First preached: 8th February 2026. Speaker: James McNay.

February 5, 2026Today's Reading: Catechism: Fourth CommandmentDaily Lectionary: Job 2:1-3:10; John 1:19-34“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Honor your father and your mother.What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.The Fourth Commandment is simple to understand. Even small children know they should listen to their parents. The issue is not understanding, but rather obeying.This should not be difficult. After all, this command includes a promise: a long and peaceful life in the land the Lord gives. And this truth is not hidden from our everyday experience. Where there is order, peace, and respect for authority, communities thrive. Where there is disobedience, rebellion, and lawlessness, there is often pain, instability, and ruin.God has structured His creation with relationships of authority and submission, such as parents and children, teachers and students, employers and workers, and governments and citizens. We may try to flatten these differences in the name of equality, but the reality remains that we live in a world of hierarchy. This is by God's design, and that design is good.This is not to say every authority is perfect. No parent, pastor, teacher, or governor rules without flaw. Yet Scripture teaches that all legitimate authority is given by God to preserve order and serve the good of others. So, the Fourth Commandment does not only speak to children and citizens. It also calls those in authority to act with fairness, humility, and care for those under their authority. Leadership is not a license to dominate; it is a God-given duty to serve.When authority works as God intends, it is a Gift. It brings stability, direction, and peace. Obedience to this commandment honors God because it reflects trust in the order He has established for our good.Still, we must admit that we have not kept this commandment. We have rebelled against parents, scoffed at teachers, and disrespected officials. But where we fail, Christ does not. He submitted perfectly to His earthly parents and to His heavenly Father, even to death on a cross.Because of Jesus, our disobedience is forgiven. In Baptism, we are raised to new life. God's grace not only forgives our failures, but it also gives us the eyes to see that structure and authority are good Gifts given for our benefit and the benefit of those around us.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Lord Jesus Christ, as you honored your mother, Mary, and earthly father Joseph, help me to likewise honor, obey, love, and respect my father and mother. Teach me to love them as You have loved me and grant each of us to grow in faith and the knowledge of Your wholesome Word. Amen.Rev. Christopher Brademeyer, St. John's Lutheran Church in Oakes, NDAudio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Better understand difficult and overlooked Old Testament passages in this new book by Authors R. Reed Lessing and Andrew E. Steinmann. Their conversational yet academic writing style makes learning about the Old Testament accessible to those at all points in their Bible reading journey. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter invite you to think more in-depth about what you just read and record your answers. To stretch your understanding, a list of resources for further reading is also included at the back of the book.

The Fourth Commandment tells us to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. But what does keeping the Sabbath holy really look like? Well, on this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro continues his study in the book of Matthew by examining how Jesus observed the Sabbath.

In this message, Ed Young teaches that God's rhythm, exemplified in the Fourth Commandment to work six days and rest one, is essential for holistic well-being—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and calls believers to align their lives with this divine pattern through regular Sabbath worship and rest, trusting in Jesus as the fulfillment of this commandment.

Today we're learning with Pastor Jeff about the Fourth Commandment and the Sabbath—a special time God set apart for rest and worship. When we pause to rest and focus on God, we're saying with our hearts, "God, I trust You." Genesis 2:3: "God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it he rested from all his work of creation."

Pastor Jeff teaches today that God's commands aren't meant to stop our fun—they're meant to help us live the best life He designed for us. The Fourth Commandment reminds us to worship God, and the Fifth teaches us to love and honor our parents. Leviticus 19:3 "Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God."

This month on Theonomoney, Jeremy continues looking at the Fourth Commandment, the Commandment on the Sabbath. He explains exceptions for works of necessity and works of mercy, and also talks about slaves and the Sabbath and ties that into a modern example that may affect nearly every listener.

In an age that treats the Lord's Day as expendable, Samuel Miller calls the church to remember what God has promised through the Sabbath. Drawing from his introductory essay to Agnew's Manual on the Christian Sabbath, this episode explores why the Fourth Commandment still matters—and why recovering the Lord's Day may be essential to the church's spiritual health.

[00:30] Stop in the Name of God (56 minutes) Charlie Kirk's last book, Stop in the Name of God, encourages everyone to keep the seventh-day Sabbath. God commanded Sabbath observance thousands of years ago, but most of mankind rejects God's authority, government and laws. True Christians must choose to obey all of God's commandments, including the Sabbath day.

Evening Service | Pastor Travis Greene

November 13, 2025Today's Reading: Catechism: Table of Duties - To ParentsDaily Lectionary: Jeremiah 26:1-19; Revelation 13:1-18; Matthew 26:20-35“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Thank God for our parents. Without them, we wouldn't be here. It pleased God to continue his work of creation by giving you life through a mom and a dad. God continues to care, provide, and protect us through the parents he gives us. This is at least God's design and intention for the family, to see one another as a gift and to share life together in love. This is the heart of the Fourth Commandment, where God instructs children to honor their father and mother. In his Small Catechism, Luther explains that rather than despising and angering our parents, children should honor, serve, obey, love, and cherish them. To see our parents as a gift from God causes hearts to cherish and love them. Love can't help but bear the fruit of willful service and obedience. Looking at one another through the lens of a God-given gift makes all the difference. There is no “Commandment” for parents, though, is there? Yes, there are several places in Scripture where parents are instructed in how to raise and treat their children. Although the particular guidelines may differ, the lens prescription is still the same; see your children as a gift from God. When parents see their child as a gift from the hand of God, they see their role in a whole new light. Dads and moms become a portrait to their children of their heavenly Father, mirroring God's gracious love, his sacrificial care, tireless provision, and tender guidance and protection. This is the hands-on way of raising children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. The thing about parents is that they are sinners, too. I've never met a parent who doesn't have regrets or who hasn't wished they could do some things over. Parents need forgiveness, too, just like children. This is perhaps the most profound way a parent can teach their children the faith when a parent is on the receiving end of God's forgiving grace. God loves to give gifts. He gave his most precious gift, his very own Son, to die for the sins of the world, and “the world” includes parents. God has given parents the gift of a family to love and to care for. Sharing life together in Christ makes all the difference.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.“I the Lord will be your Father, Savior, Comforter, and Brother. Go, My children; I will keep you and give you peace.” (922:4)Author: Rev. Darrin Sheek, pastor at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Anaheim, CA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev.

Today is day 299 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment. 299. How does keeping the Sabbath help you to grow in Christ? As I keep a weekly day of rest and worship, my faith in God my Creator is strengthened, my hope in God my Provider is renewed, and my love for God my Redeemer is deepened. (Exodus 16:1–30; Psalm 127:1–2; Hebrews 10:19–25) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 88.For Daily Growth found on page 672 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 298 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment. 298. What does the Sabbath teach you about time? Through an ordered life of weekly worship and rest throughout the Christian year, and by a regular pattern of daily prayer, I learn that time belongs to God and is ordered by him.

Today is day 297 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment. 297. Why does the Church worship on the first day of the week rather than the seventh? The earliest Christians came to observe Sunday as “the Lord's Day” (Revelation 1:10)for their primary day of worship in remembrance of Jesus' resurrection on the first day of the week. (Luke 24:1–7; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Didache 14.1; Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Magnesians 9) We will conclude today by praying a Collect for Strength to Await Christ's Return found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 296 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment. 296. What does this commandment teach you about work? My work is a gift of God that can grant me provision and satisfaction, and serve the common good, but it neither defines my life nor rules over it. I am thereby freed from resentment and sloth to work diligently and with joy for God's glory. (Genesis 2:15; Exodus 20:9–11; Psalm 128; Proverbs 6:6–11; 12:11–14; 16:3; Ephesians 4:28; Colossians 3:23–24) We will conclude today by praying Part II of Canticle 10 found on page 87 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 295 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment. 295. How do you keep the Sabbath? I cease from all unnecessary work; rest physically, mentally, and spiritually; and join with my family and church in worship, fellowship, and works of love. (Psalm 92; Isaiah 58:13–14; Matthew 12:12; Colossians 2:16–23) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for the Third Sunday in Lent found on page 606 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
