We are continuing our study on the 10 commandments. This week's passage is Exodus 20 verse 12.

Nigel explores the passage found in Luke 10 verse 27 and Deuteronomy 6 verse 5:
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength (and with all your mind)’. 

How to define peace: what does the dictionary say? What does the bible say?
How can we live in peace.

During this time of advent Rachael continues to look at the theme of 'Peace'.

The passages referenced are: 

• Isaiah 9 verses 6-7
• Psalm 23

An acronym for 'PEACE':

Provision - He never leaves us lacking, He gives us want we need
Emmanuel - God's is with me
Accept - trust God in all situations
Centre - make Jesus the centre of your life
Endless - He never stops loving us

The readings referred to are:

• 2 Samuel 11
• Exodus 20 verses 1-17

• How can we be super heroes for God? 
• Where do Christians face the most persecution for their faith?
• Bible reference: Luke 21 verses 8-19
• How can we support Christians in countries where there is persecution?
• Expect persecution when you stand up for God's kingdom values.
• God's Holy Spirit in us and a hope for our future sustains Christians during persecution
• We must stand firm.

We continue our series on the The 10 Commandments found in Deuteronomy chapter 5. This week we explore the command "Do not Steal" and see how this applies to us today.  

This is the first in a series of talks on the 10 Commandments and how they apply to us today.
