According to surveys, people say that breaking this commandment is the most serious sin of all. Do Not Murder. In this episode of Family Vision, Rob and Amy Rienow continue their series on the 10 Commandments with a deep dive into the Sixth Commandment and what it means for families, nations, and our hearts.

At first glance, most of us would say we've never broken this command. But what does Jesus say? And what about abortion, capital punishment, and self-defense? You'll hear biblical teaching and real-life stories as Rob and Amy bring grace and truth to this sobering commandment—and offer compassionate help for anyone who has walked through an abortion experience personally or in their family.
