S#2 E#5 “The Ten Commandments” - The Holy Bible – with Joel La Serra

Good News. Good Day.

Joel here, thanks for joining us.

Shorten the Stirrups and Tighten the Saddle, today we’ll be discussing

“The 10 Commandments”

Given to Moses by God on Mt Sinai after freeing his people from slavery, The 10 Commandments are God’s Laws to help us live a better life.

Jesus said in The Book of John 14:15, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” Also in John Ch1 Vs9 “But if we confess our sins to Him, He is Faithful & Just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”

And finally John Ch1 Vs8 “If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

Hmmm. The original translation of the word sin is “to miss”.

We can all use some improvement, somewhere in our lives.

God is there to help us with that. Keep in mind, our relationship with God is completely personal. We don’t need anyone telling us what to do. We already know what to do because it is deep inside us.

And now my lovely friends, without hesitation,

The Ten Commandments. Let us share.

1. Put God First

2. Worship only God

3. Honour the Sabbath

4. Honour your Mother & Father

5. You shall not kill

6. You shall not steal

7. You shall not commit adultery

8. You shall not bear false witness

9. You shall not desire your neighbours wife

10. You shall not desire your neighbours possessions.

Quite Simple.

I would like to share a piece of scripture in reference to each rule.

Rule #1 – Put God First. Colossians 3:17 says “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Rule #2 – Worship Only God. Matthew 4:10 “Then Jesus said ‘Be gone Satan. For it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God and only him shall you serve.’”

Rule #3 – Honour The Sabbath. Genesis 2:3 “Then God blessed the seventh day and made it Holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done.”

Rule #4 – Honour Thy Mother and Father. Exodus 20:12 “Honour your Father and Mother, so that your days may be long in the land of the Lord your God.”

Rule #5 – You Shall Not Kill. Peter 4:15 says “Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or a thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler.”

Rule #6 – You Shall Not Steal. Ephesians 4:28 “He who steals must steal no longer, but rather he must labour, performing with his own hands what is good, so he will have something to share with the one who has need.”

Rule #7 – You Shall Not Commit Adultery. Corinthians 6:18 tells us to “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.”

Rule #8 – You Shall Not Bear False Witness. Proverbs 12:22 “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are Trustworthy.”

Rule #9 & #10 – You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbour’s Wife or Possessions. Exodus 20:17 Teaches us, “You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or servant, or ox, or donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s.
