The Second Commandment

In this sermon Mr. Smith continues his sermon series on the Ten Commandments that he began last Sabbath. The second commandment relates to people trying to worship the true God, but in a wrong way by creating images that they think represent God. In Exodus 20 God warns against this not only in the giving of the second Commandment, but also gave additional instructions on this commandment beginning inverse 22.
