The Ten Commandments

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

What we’re learning

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.

Read it together: Exodus 20:1–17

Talk about it together

With children

  • 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?

Pray together

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