Do Not Covet | Exodus 20:17

In God’s tenth and final command in the Decalogue, He emphasized the importance of contentment. A lack of contentment is shown is covetousness. Join us and find out why God commands more than just outward obedience from His people, but an obedience of the heart that delights in Him alone!

Do Not Bear False Witness | Exodus 20:16

Satan is called the Father of Lies (John 8:44), which is why it’s no surprise that falsehood is one of his most common strategies in dividing the people of God. Thankfully, God warns against the dangers of speaking falsely of each other, starting at Mount Sinai. Join us and found out why God demands that people speak of each other in a truthful manner.

Do Not Steal | Exodus 20:15

Does stealing matter? Although it may feel tempting to justify petty theft, fraud, and deception, wrongly taking what belongs to someone else goes against God’s holiness and runs counter to what it means to be God’s people. Find out why. 

Do Not Commit Adultery | Exodus 20:14

In a world where promiscuity is promoted, lewdness is loved, and sexual sin is tolerated for the sake of self, find out why God hates adultery and why committing adultery is not just a grave sin against other people but against God Himself.

Do Not Murder | Exodus 20:13

Yahweh is a God of life. He is also a God of justice. Because of that, the penalty for taking an innocent life is severe. Find out why God cares so much about human life, and how the protection of human life is honoring to God’s image and His attributes.

Honor Your Father and Mother | Exodus 20:12

Only one group of people are mentioned specifically in the Ten Commandments, and they are parents. In the first command directed towards how God’s people treat other people, God begins by commanding His people to honor their fathers and mothers. Find out why this command is so important and how, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament, it is treated literally as a matter of life and death.

Keep the Sabbath Holy | Exodus 20:8-11

God gives the first positive command of the Decalogue—not of what His people should not do, but what they should do: keep the Sabbath. What is a Sabbath? Why is it important? And what does it look like for God’s people in the modern world today? Join us and find out.

Do Not Take God’s Name in Vain | Exodus 20:7

God’s Ten Commandments are more than just commands. They’re ten principles about who He is and what it looks like to be His holy people. After declaring that His people shall have no other gods, and that they shall not dishonor Him by making idols, God continues by stating that His people shall not dishonor His name. Find out why God’s name is so important and how to bear His name in a worthy manner.

Make No Idols | Exodus 20:4-6

As God speaks directly to the people of Israel on Mount Sinai and gives the conditions of His covenant with them, He makes clear that those who make and worship idols cannot be His people. The same is true for God’s people today. What is an idol? Why are idols bad? Join us as we study God’s Word in Exodus 20 to find out.  

Have No Other Gods | Exodus 20:1-3

Now that God has given the purpose of His covenant to His people, for them to be His holy and treasured possession, and now that the people have obediently consecrated themselves at Mount Sinai, God now gives the words of His covenant to Moses, beginning with what is famously called, “The Ten Commandments.” Find out why these “Ten Words” are much more than commandments, and what they mean for God’s people today.
