Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. How have you seen good laws or rules bring freedom to an individual or group? Or conversely, how have you seen a lack of good laws or rules bring bondage?

2. Why do you think that there has been less of an emphasis on teaching the Ten Commandments to children and new believers in recent years? What is the impact of that?

3. Discuss this statement: “The grace of God precedes the law of God and is the only proper context in which to view the law of God.” Why is this point so important?

4. Has the Holy Spirit convicted you recently about any of the first four commandments? What should you do when you become aware of the fact that you have broken God’s law?
