Exodus 20:1-20:11

The Ten Commandments - Part 1

Today we?ll look at Exodus chapter twenty, and the Ten commandments. There are specific reasons God gave these laws to Moses. Most Christians are pretty familiar with them, but you may not realize that God sought to reveal His nature and personality to His people through the words written on those stone tablets. Join us in Exodus chapter twenty. It doesn?t take long to see that we?ve broken God?s law, but that?s intended to drive us to Christ. Today?s message is part of our series through Exodus called ?Deliverance?. God delivered Moses and His people, and He can deliver you too!

  1. And God spake all these words, saying,
  2. I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
  3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
  4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
  5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
  6. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
  7. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
  8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
  9. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
  10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
  11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
