The 4th Commandment, "Remember the Sabbath" has immediate application to our lives because it addresses the topics of work and rest. One of the biggest stresses in our lives is produced by the work we do. And because we're busy people, we could really use the rest. There are many reasons why we don't rest. This Commandment points us to Jesus. He is our Sabbath rest.

We are called to honor and respect all God-given authority. When we honor a God-instituted office, we honor God. Ultimately, this commandment is about God and us. Our response to our parents' authority is a great diagnostic which lets us know what we think about God.

The 3rd Commandment defends the honor of God’s name. In many ways, we’ve reduced this command to a cussing issue (“As long as I’m not cussing, I’m okay”). While it’s good not to cuss, the commandment goes much deeper. This command is not directed at our mouths, but at our hearts. God is after your heart.

When God says, "you shall not make for yourselves a carved image…" He's saying "don't reduce me." The 2nd Commandment is about us not reducing God and making him smaller than He actually is.

The first commandment is the fundamental commandment; it comes first because it’s key to all the rest of them. As God establishes the demands of relationship, He says, “You shall have no other gods before me.” In other words, “I am to be your one and only God.”

Most of us view the 10 commandments in the Bible as God's way of restricting any fun we could have. In this series, we discover the opposite perspective. The 10 commandments reflect God’s character. They are intended to free us, not bind us. The 10 Commandments point us to the gospel. In the 10 Commandments we see the “Light of God’s Law.”

What did God accomplish in the resurrection of Jesus Christ? There are a lot of misconceptions. While Christians point to the historical and biblical evidence that proves the resurrection really happened, the task of Easter is not to persuade people that Jesus rose from the dead 2000 years ago. The task of Easter is to explain how Jesus being God is good news.

What is a healthy church? The assumption a lot of times is that only churches that are big, popular and have far reaching influence represent what it means to be healthy. Here's the truth: The Bible dictates to us what a healthy church looks like. That's why Paul writes a letter to Titus: to establish a healthy church on the Island of Crete. In this, we learn that healthy churches have healthy leaders; healthy churches have healthy doctrine and center themselves on the radical nature of God's grace; healthy churches have healthy social relationships and community; and healthy churches embrace a healthy mission, all rooted in the gospel.
