1. God gives the law a second time (1-11)

After the people sinned by worshiping the golden calf, God was ready to destroy them. But Moses prayed, and God relented. He called Moses to come up the mountain a second time. Again God wrote the 10 commandments on the stones; he set apart the Levites to serve him as priests and caretakers of the ark of the covenant. He listened to Moses' prayer and spared the people.

2. Circumcise your hearts (12-22)

God owns the earth and everything in it, but he loved one man, Abraham, and chose his descendants to be his own possession. He poured out his love on Israel. He wanted them to love him. To love God means to fear him with awesome respect, and to obey his word. Circumcision of the heart means turning from the world and loving God with all one's heart. It means cutting away selfishness and loving helpless and needy people whom God loves. It means remembering God's grace and praising him from the heart.

Application: Lord, circumcise my heart so that I may love you and love my neighbors.
One Word: Circumcise your heart
