Exodus 20:1-3 - The 1st Commandment - Have no other gods.
The first commandment calls us to have no other Gods. What did that mean for Israel (in Moses’ day) and what does that mean for us today? Dave talks about the pantheon of gods Israel was around in Egypt and the gods they would encounter as they move into Canaan. We today, have just as many false gods to be on the lookout for as the Israelites did in Moses’ day. Dave concludes this video by talking about how to navigate modern world religions and cults (with respect, love, and tolerance). Watch the video to learn more.
