Honor. A word and concept we often hear–but it can feel heavy, complicated, or even be misunderstood. Yet, the Bible shows us that God has a lot to say about how we honor and care for one another. As we continue in The Law of the Heart series, we’ll see the commandments begin to shift from our relationship with God into our relationships with others. Join us as we explore what it means to live as people of honor, how honor starts at home, and how choosing honor in all relationships helps to form us into the likeness of Jesus.

Everyone knows that rest is needed for survival. God created humans to rest every single day. It may seem like an inefficient use of our time, but most people use at least one-fourth of every day for rest. But what about finding rest in your waking hours? That is a different story. Our culture is littered with issues from a lack of rest in our hearts and souls. We hear about burnout, stress, and all sorts of other very real maladies. Yet, our Lord knew the human capacity for self-sabotage. Within God’s law, God instituted the sabbath as a way to help His people find rest in Him. The Lord Himself modeled this rest on the seventh day of creation. Join us this weekend as we explore the commandment to keep the sabbath holy.

Names are so incredible because they carry identity, history, and meaning, and God’s revealed name is a declaration of who He truly is. The third commandment isn’t just about avoiding misuse of God’s name in speech, but about how we “carry” His name in every part of our lives as people who belong to Him. As those who have taken on God’s name through relationship with Him, we are called to honor it fully with our words, our hearts, and our actions.

God is committed to making you into a breathtakingly beautiful being. But in order for Him to fully do that, you must give yourself completely over to Him. This holy submission will require each of us to submit our ideas of who God is to His revealed nature in Scripture. When we worship the real God—not a substitute–we don’t lose anything… We gain everything!

Have you ever wondered why laws exist? It’s not something that we regularly think about. But at its most basic level, laws provide a framework for a society. The children of Israel, newly delivered from the bondage of Egypt, needed structure so that they could flourish and blossom. On Mount Sinai, God met with Moses and handed him the Ten Commandments, which is the cornerstone of the entire Mosaic Law. What is interesting is where the law of God began. It began with the human heart and God’s place within it. We are excited to begin a brand-new series this weekend as we look at the very first commandment.

It’s Resurrection Sunday! We love to celebrate Easter as a society. As fun as the celebration can be, the lived reality of the resurrection for the follower of Jesus is infinitely more astounding. Jesus’ conquering of sin and death through His death and resurrection has such far-reaching implications that it is staggering to consider. Yet, there is no greater way to celebrate the finished work of Jesus than by worshipping the Lord Himself.
