The following is a series of sermons that were given over several months in 2021 and 2022 on The Ten Commandments. They are collected here for your personal bible study.
The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20:2-17. They were given by God to the children of Israel shortly after Moses delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
These were the laws given by God to the Israelites. They were a blessing to the Israelites at the time they were given, and they can be a blessing to us also if we open our heart to God’s leading and study His Word with our whole heart. Click on the commandments below to listen to the sermon about that commandment.
“2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery. 3 Do not have other gods besides Me.”
1st Commandment: No Other Gods
“4 Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers’ sin, to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing faithful love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.”
2nd Commandment: The Biggest Problem in the Bible
“7 Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.”
3rd Commandment: Taking God Seriously
“8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: 9 You are to labor six days and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates. 11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.“
4th Commandment: God’s Unrecognized Blessing
“12 Honor your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”
5th Commandment: Society’s Building Blocks
“13 Do not murder.”
6th Commandment: Respecting Life
“14 Do not commit adultery.”
7th Commandment: The Importance of Faithfulness
“15 Do not steal.”
8th Commandment: Don’t Sell Yourself Short
“16 Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.”
9th Commandment: Commanded To Tell the Truth
“17 Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
