Sunset Presbyterian Church Sermons

Guest Speaker: Ted Kober Standing in the Presence of God: The Ten Commandments 1. Please read Exodus 3:4-6. In this passage, God commands Moses to take off his shoes because he is standing on holy ground. Why do you think God required Moses to remove his shoes? What is the modern equivalent of ‘holy ground?’ What should we be removing when we enter holy ground? 2. Read Exodus 20:3-4 out loud together. What are your thoughts on reading these verses? Today Ted Kober noted that these verses involve, among other things, both fearing and trusting God. Do you agree? In addition, our idols often begin with a desire for good things. (James 1:16&17) What kinds of “good and perfect gifts” do we turn into idols? If you’re comfortable, share what kinds of things you are tempted to idolize? 3. Exodus 20:12 tells us to honor our fathers and mothers “so that you may live long in the land the Lord is giving you.” Extending this principle of honoring authority, Ted Kober referred us to Romans 13:1-7.
