Sermon Series: The Ten Commandments
Sermon Title: 4. Remember the Sabbath
Bible Passage: Exodus 20:1–11
Preacher: Robin Vonk
Date & Time: Sunday, 22 February 2026 | 9:30 am

In Exodus 20:1–11, the command to remember the Sabbath stands as both a gift and a challenge. In a restless world driven by productivity and pressure, God calls His people to stop, to rest, and to trust. The Sabbath is not merely about a day off—it is about remembering who God is, what He has done, and where true life is found.

We see that this command is rooted in creation and redemption. God rested after His work of creation, setting a rhythm of work and worship into the fabric of life. He also rescued His people from slavery, reminding them that they are no longer defined by endless labour but by His saving grace.

Yet the Sabbath ultimately points beyond itself to the gospel. We often live as though everything depends on us—our effort, our control, our success. But in Jesus Christ, the work that truly matters has already been accomplished. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus secures our salvation, inviting us into a deeper rest: freedom from striving to earn God’s favour. He calls the weary to come to Him and find rest for their souls.

As part of The Ten Commandments series, this sermon will help us rediscover Sabbath not as a burden, but as a blessing. It is a weekly reminder that God is Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer—and that in Christ, we can cease from our anxious labour and trust in His finished work.

Sermon Title: 3. You Shall Not Take the Name of the LORD Your God in Vain
Bible Passage: Exodus 20:1–7
Preacher: Robin Vonk
Date & Time: Sunday, 15 February 2026 | 9:30 am

God’s name is not just a word—it reveals His character, His covenant love, and His holy authority. In Exodus 20:1–7, the third commandment calls God’s people to honour His name, refusing to misuse it in careless speech, empty promises, or hypocritical living.

In this sermon, we will see that this command reaches far beyond avoiding certain phrases. It confronts the way we represent God with our words, our worship, and our lives. To bear His name is a privilege—but it is also a responsibility.

This sermon will also show how the gospel speaks into our failure. We have not honoured God’s name as we should. We have spoken lightly, lived inconsistently, and at times claimed His name without reflecting His heart. Yet Jesus perfectly honoured His Father’s name. In every word and deed, Christ revealed the glory of God without distortion. At the cross, He bore the judgment we deserve for dishonouring God, and through His resurrection, He restores us to a life that reflects God’s holiness and grace.

As part of The Ten Commandments series, this message will invite us to treasure God’s name, to speak it with reverence, and to live in a way that brings Him honour. Empowered by the gospel, we are not only warned against misuse—we are called into joyful witness, bearing His name faithfully before the world.
