God Commands Us to Worship Him Alone
Big Truth:
God Commands Us to Worship Him Alone
Deuteronomy 6:4, 14-15
Bible Verse:
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
Big Ideas:
- God is one.
- Idols are false saviors who make empty promises that will never lead to life.
- The command against idolatry is a call to revere God as He has revealed Himself to be.
Bible Passage:
Isaiah 44:9-20Influence:
FOCUS: Living In Freedom
SERIES: Exodus
This series looks at the Ten Commandments given in Exodus 20. The law was given not to restrict God’s people, but to help them walk in freedom as they were created. Throughout this semester, we will learn how we are to live as those who are no longer slaves to sin, but are set free in Christ.
Every student should know:
- God is the One True God, and He has all authority
- The law is given by God to reveal our sin and need for a Savior
- The law is given by God to tell His redeemed people how to live
Every student should strive to:
- Read through the book of Exodus
- Memorize the Bible verse each week
- Be obedient to God’s commands and repent of disobedience
Every student should feel:
- Grateful for God who brings His people out of slavery
- Convicted of the ways that they ignore the law that revives the soul
- Responsible to use their influence to make much of God alone
Every student should desire to:
- Repent of their tendencies to assume their own authority
- Grow as faithful servants of Jesus
- Help others move out of slavery to sin toward freedom in Christ
