Sermons & Reflection Questions
Remember the Lord’s Day
7/8 Feb
Exodus 20:8-11
Revd Moses Israeli
- The 4th commandment begins with “Remember the Sabbath Day.” What leads you to forget it (busyness, fear, ambition, or habit)? What simple practice might help you intentionally remember the Lord’s Day each week? Meanwhile, devices subtly distract you from your focus and rest. What boundary might you set for a season?
- The Sabbath command beautifully includes rest for children, servants, foreigners, and animals. Reflect on who else might be affected by your decisions—family, staff, colleagues, or helpers—and consider how you can support their experience of God’s rest.
- Jesus invites you, saying, “Come to Me… and I will give you rest,” and “Take My yoke upon you.” Consider where in your life you are trying to carry the yoke alone. What might it mean, concretely, to be yoked with Jesus in that area?
Do Not Take the Lord’s Name in Vain
31 Jan/1 Feb
Exodus 20:7
Revd Christopher Chan
- In what ways have you (perhaps unintentionally) misused God’s name?
- What are things you haven’t been doing “in the name of Jesus”, and how is God calling you to make a change?
Do Not Bow Down to Any Graven Image
24/25 Jan
Exodus 20:4-6
Revd Dr Joshua Sudharman
- How does the physical posture of bowing (or kneeling) in worship affect the posture of the heart?
- How does the sin of idolatry by God’s people mirror the sin of adultery by a spouse?
- If we understand how the straying affections of a married person can provoke legitimate jealousy in the aggrieved spouse, how can this help us understand God’s jealousy?
You Shall Have No Other Gods
17/18 Jan
Exodus 20:1-3
Revd Dr Timothy Chong
- Exodus 20:3 calls for our exclusive allegiance to God. What might “no other gods before Me” look like in our choices about time, priorities, and desires?
- Habits, money, success, pleasure, and relationships can subtly become “gods” in our hearts. Which of these pressures do you feel most strongly right now, and what might repentance and re‑ordering your life look like?
- Robert Robinson wrote, “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.” Where do you most sense your own heart “wandering,” and how can we as a cell group help to bind one another’s hearts more closely to the Lord?
