The Ten Commandments can feel ancient, even outdated. But in this first episode of our Ten Commandments series, Andy Lamb, Jonny Hanson, and Pastor Mike Adkins (Grace Church Orlando) unpack why the first commandment is not just a rule, it’s a rescue.Exodus 20 starts with relationship, not a threat: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” We talk about why God starts there, how slavery shapes identity, and why “no other gods before me” is the foundation for every other command.We also connect the ancient world’s transactional gods to modern idols like money, success, security, relationships, and control.
