S2:E1 - Why Does God Tell Us, "You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me"?

The long wait is over! It’s time to take our finger off the pause button, and hit play on season two of Press Pause! We’ll spend this season exploring the Ten Commandments together. We kick things off this week covering the first two commandments with two sets of big questions and answers. First…

Q: Why does God tell us, “You shall have no other gods before me”?

A: Because God is our only King and Lord.

Here’s the second question:

Q: Why does God tell us, “You shall not make for yourself an image”? 

A: So we will serve God and nothing else.

We learn about these first two commandments in Exodus 20:2–3 and in Deuteronomy 5:7–10. But today we’re going to learn about a time that the people of Israel broke those first two commandments in a different passage. Open your Bibles to Exodus 32:1–35 and read the passage together before diving in to this week’s devotional.
