Pastor Michael McGowan Acts 17:16-34

God forbids us from making images of him because the moment we do, we reduce him to something familiar and manageable within creation. But the God of the Bible is utterly holy, infinitely beyond comparison and far greater than anything our minds could ever fully comprehend.

Pastoe Michael McGowan Mark 12:28-34

Not just any tent — a one-of-a-kind tent where heaven and earth would overlap. Where Holy God could meet with less-than-holy people. A place called the Tabernacle.

This series explores the Ten Commandments as “Ten Words” spoken by a loving God who rescued his people and now invites them into a life of flourishing, fruitfulness, and communion with him rather than mere rule-keeping. The first commandment calls us to worship and trust God alone, because we inevitably become like whatever we give our ultimate love and allegiance to.

The Ten Commandments are often viewed as a restrictive, legalistic burden. However, Jesus presents them as a pathway to an abundant and better life. In the "Ten Words" (as they are known in Jewish tradition), we find a lifestyle defined by a relationship with the God who rescues. While modern culture prioritizes the latter six commandments concerning human interaction, the first four commandments—focused on our relationship with God—provide the essential foundation. Without putting God first, the rest of the law becomes unmanageable and nonsensical.Key Points1. Rescue Before Relationship (Exodus 20:1–2) The Law begins not with a demand, but with a statement of grace: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt." God establishes His role as Deliverer before He issues a single "Thou shalt not." These are family rules for those already rescued, not a test to determine who gets into the family.2. Word One: Prioritize the King (Exodus 20:3) "No other gods before me" is an umbrella statement for all other commands. It requires seeking the Kingdom of God first. When God is prioritized over family, career, and self, obedience to the subsequent commands follows naturally.3. Word Two: Proper Worship (Exodus 20:4–6) While the first command identifies who we worship, the second addresses how. We are prohibited from reducing God to an image or a "Golden Calf" that we can control. This includes making God in our own image by picking and choosing which of His ethics to follow. Note the corporate nature of sin mentioned here: what we do not overcome, we often pass on to future generations.4. Word Three: Honoring the Name (Exodus 20:7) Misusing God's name involves more than profanity; it includes hypocrisy. Claiming the name of Christ while acting contrary to His character is the most serious violation of this word. We are called to "hallow" His name in both speech and conduct.5. Word Four: The Rhythm of Rest (Exodus 20:8–11) The Sabbath is a creation principle. While not strictly repeated as a legal requirement in the New Testament (Colossians 2:16), it remains a vital rhythm. Resting is a test of trust—an opportunity to believe that God's work is more important than our own productivity.ConclusionJesus summarized these four words with the greatest commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." We do not keep these rules to earn love, but because He first loved and rescued us through the work of Christ.Calls to ActionEvaluate Priorities: Identify "good things" that have taken God's place as the primary focus of your life.Examine Your Conduct: Are you "wearing the name" of Christ in a way that reflects His character, or is there hypocrisy to address?Embrace Rest: Commit to a rhythm of rest this week as an act of trust in God's provision.

God saves by Grace, through faith, and then gives His Word so we know how to live in covenant with Him, as a witness to the world of our relationship. Think about it: If you’re not concerned with knowing God’s OT Words, do you really believe His same Holy Spirit is leading you now?

What does God's word about adultery reveal about the importance of sexual faithfulness for a follower of Jesus?

Recorded: 2/8/26. Rick Scheuermann.

What does it mean to honor family amid the diversity of experiences and complexities that shape our upbringings?

Life belongs to God, and the sixth commandment forbids taking what belongs to God alone. God's commands are good for us because they show us how to follow Jesus. Jesus gives us the power to be doers of the word, and not only hearers.

Consider the scene upon that Galilean hillside, dear reader. There ascends a Man—not with tablets of stone borne heavily in His hands, as once did Moses upon Sinai amid thunder and smoke—but with words that burn more fiercely than any fire, words destined to be written not upon rock but upon the living tablets of human hearts.In the old story, Moses climbed the mountain alone, veiled in cloud and terror, to receive the Law that would set a people apart. The Ten Words thundered forth, carving boundaries around conduct, marking what was holy from what was profane. They were good, those commandments; they were the very breath of God restraining the chaos of fallen man. Yet they stood external, like a fence around a garden we could not enter without stumbling.Now behold a greater ascent. Jesus of Nazareth goes up into the mountain, and the crowds follow, not in fear, but drawn by a strange authority that mingles majesty with meekness. He sits (as teachers do), yet speaks as One who needs no intermediary. Where Moses mediated between God and man, this Man is the mediation. Where Moses brought down stone inscribed by the finger of God, this Man brings down Himself – the living Word, the very finger of God made flesh.He does not abolish the ancient Law; no, He fulfills it to its utmost depth. “You have heard that it was said... but I say to you.” With each repetition, the old commandment is not merely repeated but plunged into the hidden springs of the soul. Murder becomes anger unchecked; adultery becomes lust entertained; oaths become the simple honesty of “yes” and “no.” The Law, once a boundary line drawn upon the ground, is now revealed as a mountain peak we are called to scale but this, it's not by our own strength, but by the power of the One who has already reached the summit and beckons us upward.And yet, who among us can hear these words without a secret shrinking? The Beatitudes pronounce blessing upon poverty of spirit, upon mourning, upon meekness; these qualities we possess only in fragments, if at all. The command to love enemies, to turn the other cheek, to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect strikes like a sledgehammer upon our self-sufficiency. We are not flattered; we are exposed. The mountain does not flatter the climber; it humbles him.So let no one suppose the Sermon on the Mount is a counsel of despair. It is, rather, the map of joy. It is the narrow path that leads to life. In Christ, the old commandments find their fulfillment, and the new commandment of love becomes not a burden but a liberation. Ascend, then, with Him; listen to His voice upon the mountain; and find that the Lawgiver has become the Law fulfilled, the Teacher the Truth incarnate, the Moses greater than Moses, leading us home. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

What does it look like to love God by learning, guarding, and carrying His name wherever you go?

What does it mean to no longer expect anything above, under, or beside us to provide what only God can truly give?

We often assume the Ten Commandments are an irrelevant or boring list of rules, but in this series, The Ten Words, we explore how they are relational directions that reveal God's very nature and the life we so desperately crave as those made in God's image.

Suddenly, my life-long perception of ten black-and-white “commands” is laid bare for the hollow and meager interpretive shell it has always been. A chapter-a-day podcast from Deuteronomy 5. The text version may always be found and shared at tomvanderwell.com.

How do you share your faith without feeling weird or “pushy”? They say the best way to understand something is to try to explain it to someone else. But trying to explain the Gospel in ten words or less kinda feels like trying to fit a gallon of ice cream in an dixie cup. It can be so complex, but it can also be so, so simple. Today, Alli Patterson gives us some tools to not only understand the Gospel, but how to share it with our friends in a way that feels like Good News (and not weird or pushy). Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio
