SCRIPTURE: Exodus 20:1-17   The post No Other Gods first appeared on Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church.

The first commandment is well known: “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3).It's about putting God first. But we easily miss something else that is very important. It's connected to the word “gods.”Let's be honest. That word can make many of us uncomfortable. We know there is only one true God, the … Continue reading No other gods before me

We examine the very first commandment.

The 1st Commandment | No Other Gods - Exodus 20 // Graham Phillips by Hope City Church

This new series, Jesus and the ten commandments, is a conversation on how Jesus embodies – and helps us to embody – the kind of life we are built for, and the kind of life framed by the Ten Words. Bill starts with a re-framing of the Ten Words – which we mistakenly call Commandments – as more about relationship and reality than about rules and restrictions. When the Ten Words are reduced to rules restricting what we think of as our freedom, we will try and find ways to do end-runs around them – and discover that they were actually protections put in place to enable human thriving the way God intended. Because Jesus is fully aware of this, He invites us to learn our lives from Him – to follow in His way. As we do so, allowing Him to shape us by alignment with Him, we discover that we live in the center of the Ten Words naturally and without thinking about it. They have become part of what it means for us to be human. By Bill Dogterom

What upsets you? What really makes your blood boil? We'd like to think it's injustice, or sin or the oppression of the weak….but usually, when we're honest…what bothers us most is whenever we're inconvenienced. Whenever something doesn't work out, I get overlooked….or something is just uncomfortable. The god of comfort desires our worship. He wants us to […]

This message from Pastor's sermon series concerning The Ten Commandments was delivered during our Sunday morning service on April 6, 2025. The text being expounded is Exodus 20:1-3.   To learn more about Tabernacle or access more resources, visit https://www.tabernaclebaptistchurch.com/.

During His life and ministry, Jesus made many outrageous claims. Incredible claims which were all proven true. Of everything He claimed to be, to do or know, of all the counter cultural truths he shared….none were as controversial as His claim in John 12. “I am the way, and the truth and the life.” No […]

We live in a culture that has elevated freedom, independence and self reliance to an unhealthy level. Above all, we desire to call the shots. We want to do what we choose when we choose it. We want the freedom to pursue our passions, the ability to decide for ourselves…..perhaps even to live for ourselves. […]

The wisest man who ever lived sought out to experience the “good things” in life. At the top of his list….was pleasure.  Solomon denied himself no earthly thing… And yet he always came up empty. What can we learn from the life pursuits of Solomon? What promises does the ‘god of pleasure' make that he […]

Who is it that we serve? Who do we worship? For the believer the answer sounds obvious…Jesus! Right?!!?! With our mouths we claim Christ, but what about our hearts? What consumes our thoughts? Our emotions? What are we most excited about? Most concerned about? Do our attitudes and actions prove that Christ is our greatest pursuit….or are there “idols” we are worshiping. Idols? As in small figures from far away pagan lands…yes, and no. Idols are much shinier, much more accepted, and far more common than we believe. What if idolatry isn't an issue….what if it is the issue? What if we can pursue every false thought, pursuit and decision back to idolatry? Join us for “No other gods” as we unpack the lesser gods warring for our hearts!

Today we continue in the Ten Commandments series. Pastor Jeff has covered a lot in these messages - converting, stealing, honoring parents, and making idols. The first four commandments relate to our relationship with God – and number one is probably the most important. Pastor Jeff begins a message on ‘Having No Other Gods Before Our Creator'.

Teacher: Adam BarnettDear children, keep yourself from idols. – 1 John 5:21Exodus 20:3 – You shall have no other gods before me. An idol is anything or anyone more important to you than God. “Idolatry is robbery and perversion. It's robbery because we take what is due to God and give it to something else. And it's perversion because we give the devotion God rightly deserves to other things.” - Erik RaymondIdols interfere with our identity. Is there anything or anyone more important to you than God? Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. – Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)More anything else, I love / want / need / trust / desire / fear ___________________.Don't just remove idols – replace them. Idols can kill your worship; worship can kill your idols.

God warns us that we are "god makers" when we take our focus off of Him. For our own protection, he tells us to avoid making gods out of things that are destined to disappoint us. Exodus 20.

The 10 Commandments aren't about God keeping things from us, but God wanting abundant life for us! The first commandment states, "You shall have no other Gods besides me." In this sermon we talk about what it means to have a god. Not only do we want to acknowledge the prohibitive boundary that God sets in each commandment, but also ask what is it inviting us into? In this case, the first commandment is inviting us to follow God above all else. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2025 is the Year of the Bible! And we're kicking off a new series, “Living in Freedom,” about the ways that the Ten Commandments free us to live victoriously.  Scripture: Exodus 20:1-3

#30 in our series, "Sermons Shaped by the Westminster Shorter Catechism"

Today is day 270 and we are studying The First Commandment. 270. What does it mean to have no other gods? It means that there should be nothing in my life more important than God and obeying his will. I should worship him only and love, revere, and trust him above all else. (Psalm 95; Jeremiah 10:6–10; Luke 16:10–15; 1 John 2:15–17) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 92. For Satisfaction in Christ found on page 673 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
