- What are some ways people might misuse God's name today, beyond swearing or cursing?
- How does our heart or approach to this command impact our worship?
Going Deeper:
- Israel’s workweek was a reflection of creation. In what ways can our modern workweek become a reflection of God’s rhythm of creation and rest?
- How might this rhythm affect our spiritual, emotional, and physical health?
- Why do you think God’s holiness is emphasized in the command to keep His name sacred and the Sabbath holy?
- How does our treatment of God's name and His day reflect our reverence and love for Him?
- How can dismissing the heart of the Sabbath (and gathering in worship) hurt our relationship and love of God?
Next Steps:
