Ungraven Images (Exodus 19-20)

Placing the Ten Commandments within the big picture of the Bible

Why did God prohibit the making of idols when every other religion used idols in worship? In this sermon, we see that God had a very good reason for forbidding graven images: he had already made “ungraven” images!

We might think of the law as a bundle of regulations that God wants us to keep–and he’ll get mad if we don’t. That misses something important. The law is about relationships: to God, to others, and to oneself. In this sermon, we discover the law is a wonderful, albeit provisional and temporary, gift.
