This sermon offers a detailed theological examination of the Ten Commandments, with a primary focus on the first three commandments, and an emphasis on the second commandment, which prohibits making carved images or idols for worship. Father explains that this commandment forbids worshiping God through physical idols, a common practice among pagan nations that believed their gods were physical objects. However, the commandment does not ban the use of icons or religious images as reminders of God or the saints.
