From Curse to Covenant (2nd Commandment) — Law Homily

This homily explores the Second Commandment and what it means to worship God rightly. It examines both the restrictions and duties of biblical worship, revealing how acts of worship profoundly affect not only individuals but their children and grandchildren. Discover why God cares so deeply about how He is approached, why cultural religious practices and worldly substitutes cannot replace biblical worship, and how the simplicity of God's covenantal means of grace are far more powerful than human ingenuity. Learn how the curse of false worship is reversed through Christ's work and new covenant, bringing generational blessing to all who love Him and keep His commandments.

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁵Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; ⁶And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” —Exodus 20:4-6 (KJV)
