This message concludes the study of the Ten Commandments by looking at the last two commandments. These two -- false testimony and coveting -- are different than the others as they include speech and thoughts. In this study, we will be reminded of being truthful and thankful in every situation.
This message will continue our study of God's Kingdom Rules by looking at the next three commandments, which deal with our relationships with others. These commandments are based on God's perfect plan for his people who are created in his image. We will discover through these next three commandments that inward attitudes always precede outward actions.
This message teaches us that honoring parents was extremely important to God and still is. One of the ways that God intended for his people to be set apart and holy among the nations was how they treated their parents. In fact, their prosperity in the Promised Land was directly tied to their obedience in this area. We will also see how we can apply this Kingdom Rule today in our own lives.
This message teaches us about misusing God's name and His special day. We will learn five specific ways that people can misuse God's name and then we will see that there are two interpretations on how to properly handle His day. This study will help us be more "in tune" with what God desires from people who are in a covenant with Him.
In this study, we will look at the order and plan of the "ten words" that God gave to His people. We will see that there is a Masterplan, even in the order of His rules. Then we will study the first two commandments and hopefully be able to evaluate our priorities and our "images" because of a new understanding.
This message begins a six-week series on the Ten Commandments. We will learn why God gave them and how we should understand them. Today, we will see the purpose of the commandments and it will help us to understand each commandment better. The Bible is clear as to their purpose, but many Christians have not understood the reason and the usefulness of God's Kingdom Rules.
