7.7.2024 "God Is...Supreme"

There are two places where you can find the 10 Commandments in the Scriptures: Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. In both of those places you will find all 10 "words" of God, but you'll also find another. It's the "Preface" to the 10 Commandments and it goes like this: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery."The very next words are the first, and most critical commandment: "You shall have no other gods before me." So we hear, in the span of two verses, this premise: 1) You were enslaved. 2) I have freed you. 3) Now, live into the freedom I have gained for you.What do "gods", "slavery", and "freedom" have to do with each other? Are "gods" or "idols" even relevant to us? Haven't we progressed beyond our archaic ancestors with their primitive worship practices?In this sermon, Pastor Kevin shows how the 1st commandment may be the most relevant commandment for you and I. And through it, shows how we all have idols, the various forms they take, and most importantly - how to become free of them.
