The Second Commandment

Sep 14, 2025    Eric Hiner

In this powerful exploration of the second commandment, we delve into the profound significance of God's name in our lives. The sermon draws parallels between our earthly names and the divine name we carry as baptized children of God. We're reminded that our true identity isn't rooted in our family history or hometown, but in our relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The story of Moses encountering God at the burning bush teaches us that it's not about who we are, but about who God is - the great 'I AM.' This message challenges us to reflect on how we use God's name in our daily lives. Are we calling upon Him in times of need, praise, and thanksgiving? Or are we seeking answers elsewhere? As we navigate the darkness and challenges of our world, we're encouraged to turn to the name of Jesus - our source of hope and salvation - rather than getting lost in the noise of media and negative news.
