"Ten Words: Make No Graven Image" -Exodus 20:4

Speaker: Steve Lee

​God forbids us from making images of him because the moment we do, we reduce him to something familiar and manageable within creation. But the God of the Bible is utterly holy, infinitely beyond comparison and far greater than anything our minds could ever fully comprehend.

Discussion Questions:

1. Where in my life have I reduced God down to a version that feels manageable, predictable, or safe?
2. Are there ways I subtly expect God to affirm my politics, preferences, resentments, or assumptions rather than allowing him to challenge them?
3. When was the last time I genuinely felt surprised, unsettled, or corrected by God’s Word?  
4. Are there people I tend to objectify, dismiss, or stereotype because I fail to recognize them as bearers of God’s image?
​5. What sins and idolatries may have been passed down through my family, and how might God be calling me to break those cycles?
