No Room For Idols, Exodus 20:4-6

Today, we continue our journey through the Ten Commandments by looking at God's second command: a strong and loving warning against making idols. In Exodus 20:4-6, God tells His people not to create any images or representations of Him — not because He wants to remain distant, but because no image could ever capture His true glory. It is possible to worship the right God in the wrong way, and that’s exactly what we see when Israel foolishly tried to represent God through a golden calf. God calls us to worship Him on His terms, not ours — not through what we can see or imagine, but through the living Word He has spoken. Today, we’ll explore why this matters so deeply, and how it calls us to a purer, truer worship that honors who God really is.
