10 Commandments: Set Free to Live Free—Exodus 20:4-6
Pastor Melissa Schaser explores the Second Commandment’s command against carved images, emphasizing that idols are not just physical statues but anything that takes the place of God's voice in our lives. Even good things — like work, family, or ambitions — can become idols when they define our identity, fuel our doubts, overwhelm us, or become the focus of our deepest longings. The sermon calls us to recognize these influences and gently re-center our lives around Jesus, who is our true mercy seat and the voice that brings life, not exhaustion.
