Scripture: Exodus 20:1-16 I. You should not lie because lying hurts people. A. What happens in a court of law if witnesses do not speak the truth? There will be no justice. If you don’t speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you will hurt somebody. This is true not just in courtrooms. We…
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-15 I. You don’t steal because you are a steward. A. God cares a lot about personal possessions. The eighth commandment assumes the right to and the goodness of private property. The Bible also teaches that God is the owner of everything.

Scripture: Exodus 20:1-14 I. Adultery destroys the unity of God’s gift of marriage. A. Marriage is very important to God. Marriage is so important that it is discussed in the very first chapter of the Bible (Genesis 1:27-28). Sex acts like superglue that binds a married couple together not just physically but also spiritually. We see the binding…
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-13 I. Don’t murder means no premeditated taking of human life. A. The command then does not have to do with killing in war or the death penalty for a crime.

Scripture: Exodus 20:1-11 I. You remember that Sabbath is for worship. A. The word Sabbath is the Hebrew word for ceasing. On the Sabbath day we cease. We stop working (vs. 9-10). We stop doing our regular work in order to care for our souls and worship God. The seventh day of the week is…
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-7 I. You take God’s name in vain by misrepresenting His character. A. In the Bible a name carries the sense of a person’s character. The meaning of the name LORD is “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). What does this name say about God’s character? He is eternal. He is self-existent.…
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-6 I. You need to worship God in the right way. A. In the first commandment God tells us, “You shall have no other gods before me.” You must worship the right God. Now, in the second commandment, God goes a step further. You need to worship the right God in the right…
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-3 Deuteronomy 5:32-33: “You shall be careful therefore to do as the Lord your God has commanded you… You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.” I.…
