Revere God's Presence

September 17, 2023 • Jordan Hansen • Exodus 20:1–2, Exodus 20:7, Matthew 5:37, Romans 8:15, Isaiah 29:13

God has set us free so we can live free. If we have prioritized God in our life, we will be able to filter everything after that to determine whether or not it serves us to serve Him. If God doesn’t have priority in our heart, we will not be the “images of God” He created us to be. Next up, does God have PRIORITY in our speech? Does what comes out of our mouths represent God well? 


God had set the Israelite FREE…so they could live free, enjoying the peace, prosperity and blessing of living in a covenant relationship with Him. Again, the 10 Commandments don’t save us…but they do reveal our deep need for Jesus…who perfectly fulfills his summary of all the laws, to love God and to love people. He did perfectly!


TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself. 

1. What does my first name mean? What does my last name mean? What are the values my parents taught me?

2. What does it mean to misuse God's name? What ways do I misuse God’s name in my life?

3. Why is it significant that we bear God's name and how we represent Him reflects on His reputation? 

4. What are some ways we can represent God well? What happens if we don’t? 

5. PRAYER: “Father, help us to revere Your Presence in a world that profanes you!”
