Through the law we become conscious of our sin. — Romans 3:20 When I am sitting in an airplane and waiting for us to taxi out to a runway, I can't always tell when the plane starts to move. But if I look outside and focus on a still object, I can see whether the plane is moving.In some ways the Ten Commandments are like that, acting as a landmark to show us how we are living in God's world.Unfortunately the commandments do not reveal movement in a positive direction. They show us how easily we can stray away from God toward destruction. Though God has given us these instructions for living and prospering in his world, we fall short in loving and obeying him. Indeed, as Romans 3 says in our passage for today, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Since none of us can live up to God's holy standards, we are all sinners who have broken God's law. We deserve God's just punishment for our sins.We can't earn our salvation, and we can't fix our rebellious relationship with God. That's the bad news. But the good news is this: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Only faith in Jesus Christ, who obeyed God's law perfectly and gave his life as a sacrifice for us, can wash away our sins and make us right with God.The Ten Commandments show us clearly that we are sinners. At the same time, they point us to the only way we can find salvation: through Jesus. Father God, your commandments show that we have sinned and cannot save ourselves. Move us to faith in your Son, Jesus, the only one who can ever save us. Amen.

Ex 20:14 Benj Gould
By Fred Nance - How much time is left before Jesus Christ's return? Pray for the church's work.
By Rudolph Rangel III - Our past mistakes and failures can leave lasting scars that often carry shame and regret, even after repentance. Yet God does not want us to be defined by those wounds.
By Thomas Randle - Pride, the original sin, is a cause of many of the world's problems. Pride can cause us to have the wrong outlook on life and not have the wisdom to make correct decisions. Pride is something that we can live without.
By Mark Miller - This sermon examines the bronze serpent's journey through Scripture, revealing its true purpose as a foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice for humanity.
By Andy Preston - Just like Rocky in his training montages, we have to train ourselves to use the Holy Spirit.
By Gary Petty - We often think that Revelations is only about the tribulation and end time events, but it's also about blessings and hope.
By William Bradford - We do not determine the worth of people the same way that God does. God sees the heart, the faithfulness, and the entire body of work, where we tend to value people based on what they have done recently. Everyone in God's Church has value. The older members provide an example for all of us to learn
By Tim Martens - Baby ducks follow their mother. Baby bears follow theirs. And Jesus said just two words: "Follow Me." But whom do we actually follow—and how do we know the way? This message unpacks the camp theme "Follow Me" as it was presented to preteen campers at Camp Gilmont, using vivid, visual illustrations
By Matthew Fenchel - We are familiar with the parable of the Good Samaritan. How much, though, have we considered the full setting and context of the story? Especially, why did Christ pick those characters? Why did He tell this story in the first place? Is it just a nice story about doing good to others? What questions
By Daniel Apartian - How much sin are we allowed to have when we die for God to consider that we've overcome? It's an uncomfortable question—and the answer turns on a single Greek word we think we already understand. This message digs into the word "overcome" repeated to all seven churches of Revelation—nikao in Greek
Before God gave Israel commands to obey, He reminded them of the grace they had already received: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt." The Ten Commandments begin not with rules, but with redemption. Having rescued His people from slavery, God invites them into a life of freedom, trust, and covenant relationship. The first commandment calls us to reject every false god that promises life but ultimately enslaves us. As we discuss this passage together, we'll consider what competes for our worship today and how Jesus fulfills God's invitation by bringing us into the Father's household through the gospel.
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” — Matthew 5:17 A stop sign on a nearby streetcorner is visible from our front yard. I often notice how people observe this traffic regulation. Some drivers come to a full stop before crossing the intersection. Many others merely slow down before rolling on through it. Some drivers don't slow down at all.If we're honest, most of us will admit that we don't always agree with or even obey some laws. Some laws make perfect sense to us, and we readily obey them. But we might ignore other laws, like when we drive up to a stop sign that can seem unnecessary or inconvenient.But what about God's laws? The Old Testament is filled with laws, rules, and regulations. Lots of dietary and ceremonial rules that applied to God's people before Jesus came are obsolete today. Jesus fulfilled those when he died to pay for our sin once for all (Hebrews 9-10) and then rose from the grave to give us new life. But the Ten Commandments are not optional. Jesus summarized those when he taught about loving God and loving our neighbors (Matthew 22:37-40). The Ten Commandments tell us how we are to live in response to God and with the people around us.This month, as we reflect on the Ten Commandments, we will see how relevant they are for our everyday lives. Father God, only in loving and obeying you, as we have learned through Jesus, can we find peace, joy, and new life. Help us to live for you and to share your love and good news with neighbors everywhere. Amen.
The Ten Commandments are not a checklist for earning God's favor but a response to His saving grace. When we remember who God is — our Redeemer, King, and faithful covenant God — our worship, relationships, and obedience begin to reflect His character.
Soon after Moses reinstituted the Ten Commandments with the Israelites, he then issued the foundational truth of the Shema. It would be upon this core truth by which all other things would lean on. For us, especially in the times we are living in, we must understand that without the same solid foundation of truth, the rest of our worldview will crumble.

(This podcast was previously published on September 9, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Without problems, would we see the victories of God? The children of Israel greatly rejoiced when God brought them through the Red Sea and when God drowned Pharaoh and his men in the Red Sea. Exodus 15 1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for HE hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath HE thrown into the sea. 2 The LORD is my strength and song, and HE is become my salvation: HE is my God, and I will prepare HIM an habitation (making myself ready for God to live in me); MY father's God, and I will exalt HIM. 3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is HIS name.

By William Bradford - The nineteenth part in a series of mid-week Bible studies covering the book of Hebrews. This session continues chapter 6.
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What should be our focus during these days following Tisha B'Av? 15 Av What is the relevance of this day? Why is it considered the greatest holiday together with Yom Kippur? Why did they break the axe after finishing the yearly wood chopping quota instead of keeping it for next year? Will this day still be celebrated after Moshiach comes? Or will the transformed 9th of Av supplant this day? What maamar or sicha do you suggest we learn explaining this day? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? How does Eikev allude to ikvasa d'meshicha, the heel/footsteps of Moshiach? What is the meaning of ikvasa d'meshicha – why is it called “heel”? What is its significance? What's the difference between the footsteps of Moshiach, the days of Moshiach, and the era of Moshiach? And which stage are we in today? Why is Eikev the gematria of the 172 words of the Ten Commandments? Are the seven species that with which Israel is blessed (wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates) healthier for us? Why is the second set of tablets greater than the first? If we are comforted by being shown the third temple on Shabbos Chazon, why do we additionally need Shabbos Nachamu? Why is there a double expression of consolation – Nachamu Nachamu stated twice? Can we say that the first half of summer is sadder due to The Three Weeks, and the second half is happier due to the Seven Weeks of Comfort? What can one do if they don't feel consoled on this Shabbos due to the active problems that exist in the world? Why was Moshe told to stop praying to enter Israel when we are taught that prayer has the power to change G-d's will? Was Moshe praying or asking for a gift? Is it risky to ask G-d for a favor? How is it possible that with the great revelations of holiness in the Beis Hamikdash people were able to sin and cause its destruction? Is the Beis Hamikdash an actual physical structure or is it a superconscious collective state of harmony between the spiritual and physical world? Even if we aren't allowed to rebuild the Beis Hamikdash, can we start collecting money for it? Is Israel holy because the Beis Hamikdash was there, or was the Beis Hamikdosh there because Israel is holy? When Moshiach comes, will we all feel it? Why does the Torah name some villains and not others? Why did the sages not speak up in defense of Bar Kamtza and why is the name of the host not mentioned – the Chasam Sofer's explanation? Eikev Nachamu Vaetchanan Rebuilding the Temple Kamtza and Bar Kamtza – follow-up
Although the Ten Commandments are well known, the sad reality is they certainly are not well practiced. In our current Ten Commandment series we are examining each one and how it relates to our Christian lives here and now. So far, we've covered the first three and have found them to be deeply connected and incredibly relevant for our everyday lives. We now look at the fourth, the command to remember the sabbath day and to keep it holy. As Christians, the issue here should be obvious. The Jewish sabbath is Saturday and we have our day of worship and rest on Sunday. Are we wrong in this approach, or is our remembering the sabbath supposed to be expressed in entirely different terms? The Fourth Commandment—remembering the Sabbath and keeping it holy—was central to Israel's covenant life. It provided a weekly pause from physical labor so the people could refocus on God, examine their hearts and correct any possible drift toward idolatry and hypocrisy. But for Christians, the meaning of Sabbath rest shifts dramatically. Instead of a literal day of ceasing from physical work, the New Testament reveals a deeper, spiritual rest rooted in Christ himself. God rested on the seventh day not because He was tired, but because His physical creative work was complete. From that point forward, His work became spiritual—preparing the world for Messiah and unfolding His plan through Jesus. Hebrews 4 explains that Israel failed to enter God's rest because of disobedience, while believers now enter that rest through faith in Christ. This rest is not inactivity; it is the peace and strength that come from aligning our lives with God's ongoing spiritual work. Jesus reinforces this truth when he invites the weary to take his yoke and learn from him. His rest is the relief from worldly burdens, anxieties and self‑driven striving. The Greek words used—katapauo (to cease) and anapauo (to refresh)—show that Christian rest involves both putting down earthly concerns and taking up the spiritually refreshing work of discipleship. The early church modeled this beautifully. They gathered on the first day of the week—Resurrection Day—to teach, pray, give and serve. This was not a pause from spiritual labor but a celebration of Christ's victory and a recommitment to the work God prepared for them. For Christians today, Sabbath rest is a daily posture. We still handle our responsibilities, but our true labor is in Christ. We rest by living as “new creatures,” empowered by God's spirit, focused on His plan, and engaged in His work every day. Key Takeaways The Jewish Sabbath focused on ceasing physical labor; Christian Sabbath focuses on spiritual rest in Christ. God's rest began after creation and continues through His spiritual work in Messiah. Believers enter God's rest through faith, obedience and alignment with Christ's work. Jesus' yoke brings refreshment, not exhaustion—spiritual work is restful when done in him. The early church gathered on Resurrection Day to teach, serve and worship, modeling Christian Sabbath principles. Christian rest is daily: putting aside earthly anxieties and engaging in God's spiritual work with renewed focus.
The Ten Commandments:The Sixth Commandment | Los Diez Mandamientos:El Sexto Mandamiento | Brian Molina
Episode Summary. If you were God giving instructions to the human race about how to get along with each other, what would be the first thing you'd say? Don't be selfish? Don't be proud? Learn to forgive? Treat others like you want to be treated? God's first law is “Honor your father and mother.” And in case we still don't catch the foundational importance of this command, God attaches an unbelievable promise to it. It is the only one of The Ten Commandments with this kind of a promise: that you may live long and that it may go well with you. Isn't it interesting that God's first law of human relationships has to do with the family? God starts with the most basic and important cell group in society. God designed it to be the birthplace of a child's self-esteem and of his sense of identity, the place where he is to learn what it means to be loved and to give love, the place where he learns how to adapt to the way the world has been created by God to operate. This episode examines this foundational commandment and its implications not just for children but for adults.For Further Prayerful Thought:How would you contrast “obedience-centered training” with “child centered training?” What would you say to one who said this verse in Proverbs 22:15 encourages abuse? “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of the child the rod of discipline will remove it far from him.”How do the opening verses in the first chapter of Proverb juxtapose being shaped by your parents' wisdom with being shaped by peer pressure? (See vs 8-10).What does it say about God that he demands that adults honor their elderly parents?What evidence do you see in the culture that it is anti-God's design of the family to be the foundation of society?For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)
