Families

Keep the conversation going at home

Parents are a child’s first and most important disciple-makers. Each week we share what your children and youth studied on Sunday, so faith can keep growing at the table, in the car, and at bedtime.

The Ten Commandments

Scripture
Exodus 20:1–17
Big Idea
God guides us

What we learned

God gives commands to help us love God and care for people.

For youth: God’s commands shape the life of a people God has already rescued.

Family discussion

  • What had God already done for the people?
  • How does telling the truth help people trust each other?
  • What is one way God’s commands help us care for someone?

With teenagers

  • Why begin the commandments by remembering rescue from slavery?
  • What can compete for the place of God in a teenager’s life?
  • How do truthfulness and coveting show up in group chats or social media?
  • What might honoring rest look like in a culture of constant productivity?

Prayer

God, forgive us for breaking Your commands. Thank You for Jesus. Help us love You and care for other people in our choices. Amen.
