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.
