Live the Ten: A Study of the Ten Commandments
Through 4/11/2010
8:00, 9:30 and 11:00am
The Ten Commandments are mistakenly considered God’s “rules”- His outdated list of do’s and don’ts that add up to a guilt-ridden, legalistic way of life. For many Christians, conditioned to emphasize freedom from the law, we tend to discount the law totally and end up with a license to do whatever seems right to us. As we probe the purpose and true meaning of the Ten Commandments, or literally “Ten Words,” we’ll discover that these “words” can aptly be called God’s blueprint for the best life possible. They contain wisdom and priorities we all need for our relationships to be right. The Ten Commandments cannot be separated from their narrative context. God is speaking to His people through these words in order to protect their relationships; we are seeing truths that bring relational revelation. Life means relationships-with God, men and things. Get your relationships right, and life is joy, otherwise there is meaningless misery. Join me this morning as we study how to Live the Ten.
