In this message from Exodus 20.16, we study the 9th word: "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor." In a world dominated by rumors, online outrage, half-truths, gossip, and public accusations, God call His people to be true witnesses. This command reaches beyond obvious lies and includes deception, exaggeration, malicious reports, unverified claims, and actions that wrongly damage one's reputation. As we look at this Word, we will look to Jesus who is "the way, the truth, and the life." We will also learn how to walk in the light, handle information wisely, and reflect God's heart for truth in all areas of life.

"Do Not Steal" may sound simple, but the 8th Word reaches far beyond shoplifting, robbery, or the theft of a soda from a vending machine.

Theft is never merely a property issue; it is a spiritual one.

This teaching explores Exodus 20.8-11 and the gift of Shabbat as more than a rule to follow--it is an invitation to rest, trust, and remember God's faithfulness.

Together we examine the meaning of Shabbat, its purpose int he life of Israel, and how believers today can approach Shabbat with wisdom, liberty, and grace. We consider how rest shapes our sould, renews our dependence on God and helps us offer that to others.

As we walk with God, the Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit in our lives, making our love for our neighbor a tangible reality.
