When Moses went up the mountain to get the Ten Commandments from God, the people down below made a big mistake.

Key Points:

  • God invited Moses to meet him on top of the mountain.
  • The people got impatient and made a golden calf.
  • When you make something more important than God, that’s just silly.

Memory Verse:

Exodus 20:3 You must not have any other god but me.
