Episode 101 - Graven Images, Christian Art, and Discipling Children - Exodus 20:4–6

Why did God forbid making graven images? Does this include images of Jesus or Christian art? What about Christian traditions that use images in their worship? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten discuss the second commandment and how it applied during Old Testament times and since the coming of Christ. They discuss Eastern Orthodoxy and their use of images, as well as popular media like the Chosen and the Passion of the Christ. They also discuss the warning and encouragement that violating or obeying this command has implications on discipling our children.

We hope you enjoy and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org
