  4. How does God’s jealousy inform our understanding of the second commandment?
  5. How is refashioning God our view of God into our preferred conception breaking the second commandment? How are you tempted to re-create God?
  6. How is refashioning our worship of God into our preferred conception breaking the second commandment? What are ways we might do that?
  7. Prior to the sermon, how would you have rated your obedience to this commandment? Why? Did your rating change after the sermon? Why or why not?
