Exodus 20:15 God promises to care for his creatures. He made them physical beings and in the midst of their work promises to provide what they need. Stealing shows a lack of trust in God, and keeps people from trusting and being able to have trusting, healthy relationships  with others.

Exodus 20:14 Physical sexual intimacy between a husband and wife is a sacred gift that bonds two people together as one and that opens the opportunity for new life. Sex and sexuality finds its purpose and goodness in a life-long relationship, unpolluted by our warped cultural values.

Exodus 20 :13 We honor life by seeing and treating people as God does. This means not murdering, but deeply letting God help us put away anger and contempt. On Mother’s Day, this is the best way of being a mother and honoring our Mother!

“And God spoke all these words:…Honor your father and mother.” We obey and honor God as we honor the parents God gave to us. Through relationships within our family, we learn how to live together. Strong families who serve God, contribute to and create strong societies.

Exodus 20:8-11 Honoring the Sabbath day means we stop work to remember God’s presence, to let go of our control and results, and trust He is in control. When we do we choose to be with God and He gives us real rest.

Exodus 20:7 To follow God means to let him shape our character to reflect his.

Exodus 20:4-6 God gave us a need to be in relationship with Him, because He created us as physical beings living in a physical world. He has shown us the way to respond to His love for us; however, we look for physical ways and things to satisfy our needs rather than placing God first […]

Exodus 20:1-3 Today we look at the first commandment.  God is the one who saves us from the broken ways of living from other gods. God gives life as we put him first in every area of our lives.

Mark 14:32-15:37 Why the cross?  It was the inevitable result of man’s clash with God. On the cross, Jesus took the cup of God’s justice and our rejection. He did this in order to forgive and heal us from constantly trying to run away from God.
