To Catch a Thief (8 of 10)
by James Merritt
1.I have to admit it and I can't hide it. One of my favorite characters in fiction and one of my all time favorite movies is Robin Hood. Whether it is the version with Errol Flynn (who you baby-boomers will remember) or the version with Kevin Costner (who some of the younger generation will remember), I really loved the action, the swashbuckling fights, the romance, and the legendary archery skill that is displayed. Let's face it - they are fun movies and Robin Hood is a fun character. When you think of someone who is handsome, dashing, romantic, courageous, compassionate, kind and loyal - Robin Hood fits the bill. 2...
The Original Top Ten: Introductory Message (1 of 11)
by Jeff Ginn
Mark Twain told the story about a man who had memorized the Ten Commandments. He told Twain that his ambition was to go to the Holy Land, stand on the Mount and recite loudly the Ten Commandments. Twain replied, "Have you ever thought about just staying home and keeping them?" The Ten Commandments are much in the news today. Can they be posted? Should they be removed from public venues? Personally I will tell you that I do not believe it detrimental to post the Ten Commandments. In fact, I believe quite the opposite. We have sought to silence any mention of God and His precepts to our own harm...
The Third Commandment: Don't Abuse God's Name
by Jerry Vines
Two of the Ten Commandments have to do with sins of speech-. This commandment - don't take God's name in vain and the ninth commandment - thou shalt not bear false witness to thy neighbor. One of God's most beautiful gifts to man is the gift of speech. Among many things this is one of the things that distinguishes man from the animals. God has given to man the ability to express himself and to express himself in marvelous, unusual ways. Isn't it a tragedy that man would take the beautiful gift of speech and would misuse that gift. To misuse that gift, for instance, to curse man. In James 3:9 the Bible says - therewith...
David: The Man Who Broke All the Commandments
by John Barnett
When David stood at the other end of Nathan's boney finger, pointed directly in his face—he was guilty, and he knew it. David had broken every law in the book, God's Book. DAVID BROKE ALL TEN In reality, David had broken all of the Ten Commandments when he sinned with Bathsheba. How had he broken them all? In two ways; first by his actions he broke them all. And secondly, by God's standards he broke them all.1: "No other gods..."—David allowed his lust to be the god to which he bowed in obedience."Not take the Name..."—David took the Holy Name of God in vain as he said he was God's man and lived like the devil...
The Perfect Ten (1 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
In the past couple of years, the Ten Commandments have often made the headlines. Probably the most notable has been the case of Alabama's Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore and his fight to keep a two-and-half-ton granite monument of the Ten Commandments in Alabama's Judicial Building. Judge Moore was ultimately suspended for refusing to remove the monument and on November 14, 2003, workers removed the monument and placed it in a back room out of public view. Judge's Moore case is just one among many that have placed the Ten Commandments in the headlines, Chattanooga being one of them. It is such attention that has made me once again look at the Ten Commandments with...
Series: Let's Do It God's Way (1 of 5)
by Stuart Briscoe
Two things stand out in modern western society: a sense of disorientation and confusion, and a distaste for authority. That the two things are connected is not always acknowledged but a study of the Ten Commandments will show this is the case. I. How We Got the Ten Commandments. A. The Abrahamic Covenant. Genesis 12:1-3 B.The Egyptian captivity. C.The Mosaic exodus. Exodus 19:1-6 D. The divine instructions. Exodus 10:1-17 1. How to love God. Deuteronomy 6:5 2. How to love people.

The Ten Commandments
by Tony Nester
Today we come to the story of the Ten Commandments. It's found in the Book of Exodus, Chapters 19 and 20. The Israelites have made their escape from Egypt. They have crossed the Red Sea and have journeyed into the wilderness that is located between Egypt and the land of Canaan. Now they arrive at Mount Sinai and it is on this mountain top that Moses will receive God's Law, of which the Ten Commandments are the most important."On the third new moon after the Israelites had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that very day, they came into the wilderness of Sinai. {2} They had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness...
Honoring Father And Mother (5 Of 10)
by Larry Wynn
This commandment begins at the most logical and important point. Our relationship at home. 2 There has always been an all-out assault on the home. 3. The strength of the home determines the strength of society itself. The nuclear home is slowly disintegrating.THE 5TH COMMANDMENT DEALS WITH RESPECT OF PARENTS.It is given before commandments not to murder, commit adultery, or covet. Our parents are the first people we meet and know. If we cannot learn to respect and love and obey our parents how do we expect to get along in society? The Bible says we are to "Honor Father and Mother...

The Second Commandment
by Adrian Rogers
Alright, now, would you take God's word please and turn to Exodus chapter 20, Exodus chapter 20. We're preaching through the Ten Commandments and we've come now to the second of these ten. We read verses 4 through 6, Exodus 20:4-6. ''Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me and...
New Commands and a New Covenant (9 of 16)
by Central Christian Church of Arizona
Exodus 19:3-6 ''Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, 'This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.'' The Story, p. 59 (Exodus 19:3-6) c)...
The Mountain of Freedom (9 of 10)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: In about 4 weeks our nation is going to have a special celebration. Does anybody know what that special holiday is? (‘‘Independence Day’’) We are a free people, and we celebrate that freedom on July 4th. One of our nation’s founding documents is called the Declaration of (Independence) And in that Declaration of Independence are these words: ‘‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights -that among these are Life, LIBERTY and the pursuit of Happiness.’’ We are a nation of Free people. And what’s interesting is that...
Life's Blueprints (1 of 10)
by Robert Dawson
The other week when we went to the men's conference @ FBCW we went through Atlanta, all roads lead through Atlanta. Every time I go through a big city like Atlanta I feel so small. It is not just because of the number of people but the massive buildings that dot the landscape. I am amazed at the design and sheer size of them. Some of them are extremely unique and creative in their appearance --- when you look at the end product you are simply in awe of everything that went into them; the materials, the time and labor that it took to complete them is staggering. You can be assured of one thing; the building did not get there by someone driving...
God's Top Ten: Strengthening the Foundation (8 of 8)
by Roger Thomas
It happens unexpectedly. The process actually takes place slowly over weeks, and months, even years. On the surface, everything looks normal. However, underneath, it's another story. Water begins to wash away the sub-soil. Once the erosion reaches a critical point, it happens. A sinkhole suddenly appears taking everything on the surface with it--roads, cars, houses, everything! The 200-foot wide, 35-foot deep sinkhole in the picture happened in Bowling Green, KY a few years back. A much smaller one occurred in the pavement near the Columbia Mall last year. They happen in Florida all the time. Last week an entire lake...
Ten Commandments (10 of 12)
by Dave Gustavsen
Alright-we are taking this winter to go through the book of Exodus. And this morning we come to another section of Exodus that's pretty well known-because it's the scene where the people of Israel receive the Ten Commandments. Now: when you just heard me say that, or when you pulled out your notes page and saw the sermon title today, it probably stirred up certain emotions. Maybe good emotions; maybe memories of some bad church experience; maybe visions of people demanding to have the Ten Commandments posted in public courthouses and schools. And what I'd like to do today is to get beyond some of that...
Know and Enjoy God (1 of 10)
by Patrick Edwards
I think we all know the stereotype. You ask a random person off the streets about what the Bible is or even what Christianity is and you most likely get an answer related to all ''the rules''. Right? That's what the Bible is; a bunch of commandments and stipulations and ways that God tells people what they aren't allowed to do. And that only gives said person all the credence they need for dismissing Christianity as a whole. I mean who wants to subject their life to a system or religion that is intent on restricting them, on holding them back from anything that might possibly bring them happiness. Of course, as we began to discover last week, the...
Written in Stone - Are the 10 Commandments Relevant Today? (1 of 11)
by Collin Wimberly
A HuffPost article caught my eye the other day. It was entitled why the ten commandments are unamerican. Each commandment was given and a brief explanation was provided. The author didn't simply believe they were unamerican, he obviously didn't like them at all. I think a lot of people probably feel the same way. They may not say it, but they don't like the commandments, don't think they are relevant or necessary in today's world. The ACLU certainly agrees. They have been on a campaign for the last 20 years to remove and reference to the commandments from our government and daily life. Not even all preachers feel they...
