Rejoicing in the Presence of the Lord our God
The Second Word
Sermon Notes for September 27, 2009
By Pastor Dennis R. Tuuri

You shall not make for yourself a carved image
any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth;
9 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations
of those who hate Me,
10 but showing mercy to thousands,
to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
