October 27, 2017 – This Week: What is the law of God stated in the 10 Commandments? and more!

Published by mark mohrlang on

Sunday, October 29
  Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:13-14 and Romans 12:1-2

   Question: What is the law of God stated in the Ten Commandments?
 Answer: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below—you shall not bow down to them or worship them. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. You shall not covet.

Further questions for reflection:
1. How would you define worship?
2. Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (also see Deuteronomy 6:13-14).  How does “the fear of the Lord” shape our worship?
3. Deuteronomy 5:7-11 (The first 3 commandments) what do they tell us about God?  What do they tell us about our relationship to God?
4. What is something you can do this week to grow your worship of God in your everyday life?
