Podcasts about Fourth Commandment

As we continue to see the character of God revealed in the 10 commandments, God specifically through the 4th commandment shows his followers how to honor, worship, and remember the work that he has done for them as they observe the Sabbath. Exodus 20:8-11.

Free Grace Baptist Church, Chilliwack, BC Pastors: Jim Butler, Cam Porter

Join Pastor Balla for today's Lutheran daily devotion from Ecclesiastes 8:1–5, titled “The Wisdom of Obedience.” In this powerful reflection, we explore the biblical call to honor authority, rooted in the Fourth Commandment and grounded in God's divine order. Solomon teaches that “a man's wisdom makes his face shine”—true wisdom softens the heart and leads to humble obedience. Far from blind submission, Christian obedience flows from faith in God's providence, recognizing that all authority is established by Him (Romans 13:1). As citizens of both the civil realm and Christ's eternal kingdom, we are called to discernment, patience, and faithful service. Learn how Christ's perfect obedience unto death becomes our strength and example. Perfect for those seeking solid, confessional devotions rooted in Scripture and Lutheran doctrine. Strengthen your walk with Christ through wisdom, humility, and faithful obedience.

Sermon by David Sims, June 1, 2025, Ascension Sunday

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Carlton Wynne are joined by Rev. Stephen Spinnenweber, author of Loving the Law: The Law of God in the Life of the Believer, to explore the enduring significance of God's moral law in the Christian life. They discuss the book's development, its theological foundations, and its practical applications for pastors, congregants, and Christian parents. The conversation clarifies the Reformed understanding of the threefold use of the law and addresses common misconceptions surrounding legalism and antinomianism. Stephen offers a pastoral and theologically rich vision for delighting in the law as a gracious guide for believers—one rooted in God's character and purpose for humanity. The trio also touches on civil use of the law, the Sabbath, and the broader cultural and political implications of God's moral order. This episode is a refreshing call to recover a joyful obedience to God's commandments—not as a means of earning salvation, but as the grateful response of those saved by grace and empowered by the Spirit.

In a world that finds its worth in constant activity, rest can feel like a luxury we can't afford. But it's in sacred times of rest that we meet God and taste the relationship that we were created to enjoy. This message explores the holy rest to which the Fourth Commandment points.

Send us a textWhat happens when the Fourth Commandment collides with modern life? This raw, unfiltered conversation digs deep into what it truly means to "remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" in today's world.The discussion begins with a sobering observation about cultural shifts – specifically how ESPN's 1983 decision to broadcast NFL games on Sundays fundamentally changed America's relationship with the day. Once respected even by non-churchgoers, Sunday has gradually lost its distinct character in our society.As participants debate whether the Sabbath falls on Saturday or Sunday, a more profound question emerges: what does proper Sabbath observance actually look like? While some define it primarily through abstinence – not working, cooking, or cleaning – others push back against this limited view. If Sabbath-keeping merely means doing nothing, couldn't anyone claim to keep it without any spiritual dimension?The conversation takes a fascinating turn when participants explore the purpose behind Sabbath rest. Rather than simply abstaining from regular activities, the Sabbath creates space for elevated worship, deeper prayer, community fellowship, and focused engagement with Scripture. It's not just about what we stop doing, but what we start doing.One of the most thought-provoking moments comes when a participant claims to practice these spiritual disciplines every single day, raising questions about whether such a person would still need a separate Sabbath day. This leads to a meaningful examination of how even our most devoted daily practices should still find special expression on the Sabbath.Through honest, sometimes bewildering exchanges, this conversation challenges us to move beyond viewing the Fourth Commandment as a burdensome obligation and instead recognize it as a divine invitation to dedicated communion with God – a sacred rhythm of rest in our restless world.Subscribe to hear more conversations that bring ancient faith into dialogue with contemporary life, challenging assumptions and deepening spiritual practice.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

This audio recording captures a church sermon delivered by Jim West on March 23, 2025, focusing on the biblical concept of the seventh day of creation in Genesis. West emphasizes the unique nature of the seventh day as a day of God's rest, highlighting its significance through repetition in the text and its distinction from the other creation days. He connects this idea to the Fourth Commandment to observe the Sabbath, explaining its dual purpose of remembering God as both creator and redeemer, referencing both Exodus and Deuteronomy. Furthermore, the sermon explores the contemporary struggle to find rest, contrasting it with the cultural obsession with busyness and production. Ultimately, West posits that true rest for the soul is found not in inactivity but in actively coming to and trusting in Jesus Christ, aligning one's life with Him, and ceasing from self-reliance.Support the showThanks for listening!

Walking with Jesus Through Sinai: Seeking Moral Clarity in an Age of Chaos with the 10 Commandments CPC Adult Sunday Studies Fall 2024 14 - Fourth Commandment, part 3 Worship & Rest: On Practices to Help Us Remember the Sabbath

It is widely acknowledged that the earliest Christians observed the seventh-day Sabbath in obedience to the Fourth Commandment. What is less often acknowledged is that there have always been Christian communities that continued to honor the seventh-day Sabbath throughout history. One such community is the Seventh Day Baptists, which emerged from the Protestant Reformation. I am excited to be speaking with Nicolas Kersten, the Director of Education and History for the Seventh Day Baptist General Conference, to learn more about this Sabbatarian Christian tradition.https://davidwilber.com/

Jon English Lee's new book, There Remains a Sabbath Rest for the People of God answers the question: Are Christians are bound to keep the sabbath? Or is it simply a relic of Israel's law system that was fulfilled in Christ? The answer comes in the Fourth Commandment. We're to “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exod. 20:8) because God established it as a creation ordinance, “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it” (Exod. 20:11). In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Jon English Lee, give an overview of the Scripture's teaching on the Sabbath, explaining that, following creation, God Himself—who needs no rest—modeled rest for man for his refreshment and benefit (Gen. 2:1-3). And Jesus, during His earthly ministry, upheld this pattern, with His apostles moving its observance to the first day of the week, following Christ's resurrection (Mark 16:2; Acts 20:7). Honoring the Sabbath acknowledges we are not ultimately dependent on the fruitfulness of our own labor, so we should put down the plow each Lord's Day, worship God, and rest.

Nobody keeps the Commandments better than our Lord Jesus Christ.

In this episode, we dive into the Fourth Commandment and unpack its significance for Christians today. Many Christians would agree that all of God's commandments are still relevant, except for the Sabbath. But is that the right approach? We'll explore why God took the Sabbath so seriously, why it's for our good, and how it was designed to be a gift, not a burden. Plus, we'll discuss what it looks like to observe the Sabbath today, how it benefits our physical and spiritual health, and why making rest a regular part of our lives is a crucial practice for honoring God.

Erik Jones discusses Deuteronomy 5:12-15—“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.”

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. (Genesis 1:14–15; Leviticus 23; Psalms 92:1–4; 119:164; Acts 3:1; Hebrews 10:25) We will conclude today by praying Part III and Doxology of Canticle 10 found on page 88 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

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).

We take a look at what the Catechism teaches about the Church in relation to political communities. Every institution has their own vision of what it means to be human, which shapes their policies. Because the Church knows the truth, that every person is made in the image and likeness of God, the Church must weigh in to ensure that the dignity of the human person is at the forefront of political decisions and policies.
