YOU'RE SO VAIN (Exodus 20:7) || TEN COMMANDS || PASTOR CHUCK OSBORNE

Names have power. You know that because everything changed when mom called using your middle name, right?

Pastor Chuck continues breaking down the second command and the creative issues that cause us to create God in our own image--making Him far less than how powerful, knowing, and present than He truly is.

FIRST MEASUREMENT: PUT GOD FIRST (Exodus 20:1-3) || TEN COMMANDS // PASTOR CHUCK OSBORNE

Rules are a part of life. Some rules are crazy. Some rules are harsh. Regardless, rules are needed to keep order and to know how to best live. As the Ruler of the universe, God created the 10 Commandments as a set of rules to show us how to best live. As Pastor Chuck explains, when we know why we have the rules, it makes a lot more sense. And the rules all start with making the Ruler (God) YOUR ruler.
