Exodus 20:1-17: The ten words

Nov 21, 2021

Scripture

What stood out or challenged you in the passage today?
Should we use God’s name to give more weight to our own views? For example, “God told me….”, “I believe God would have us…”
Do you think a weekly Sabbath is mandatory today for gentile Christians? Is there a principle that it would be wise to transfer to our own week?
Is there ever a case for the Christian to rebel against authority, e.g. the attempted Arab Spring, the Romanian Revolution, EOKA uprising etc? Historically, how have Christians successfully fought injustices and brought about social reform?
To what extent is sin a heart attitude rather than an external act?
Take one word, or more, and apply to your life?
Read the passage again and note anything else that stands out or challenges you. Pray that the Holy Spirit would enable you to change and be more like Jesus and demonstrate the unity we have in him.
