Ten #1 Sermon
Notes
Transcript
“You shall have no other gods before me.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;
You shall have no foreign god among you;
you shall not worship any god other than me.
When the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, “Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened to me.
Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
