Episode 100 - Cultivating Delight in God and His Law - Exodus 20:1–3

How should Christians approach God's law? Broader evangelicalism tends to think that the law primarily condemns or that Christians should "unhitch" from the Old Testament law. It tends towards antinomianism (rejecting all law) and legalism (living slavishly like we earn God's favor through law-keeping). But what we see in Scripture—in Psalm 1 and Psalm 19, for instance—is a call to love and delight in God's law. How is this possible? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten discuss the importance of the first commandment. They also discuss how the God we worship shapes our heart-posture towards his law.

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
