Thousands of years ago, God gave Israel ten commandments. The ten commandments are one of the most recognizable parts of the Bible to many people. They were given to Israel through their leader Moses shortly after they were rescued from Egypt in the form of a covenant, an ancient form of a modern day contract. Although this was a long time ago, the ten commandments are still important today because they are moral laws. In the OT, there are three kinds of laws: civil (meant for Israel at that particular time), ceremonial (meant for the priesthood at that time), and moral (meant for all people for all time). Although they are ancient guidelines, they are still important for our lives. In the next 6 weeks, you will be interacting with each of the ten commandments & learning how important they are for your daily life as a follower of Jesus.
