Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Exodus 20:12-16

From the Sermon:

The Ten Commandments were so sacred to the people of Israel that they were placed in the ___________________________.

The ark and the items continued within were a reminder to the people that their lives, their whole, everyday lives, were _________________________.

Psalm 16:6  states that God has made our _________________ fall in pleasant places.

As God was forming this new community in this new promised land he gave ten commandments to act as boundary lines around how we are to relate ____________________________.

Loving our _________________ flows from our love of ____________.

Reflection Questions:

Are we going to live as people within our boundaries given by God and see them as pleasant and creating a place of abundance or are we going to rebel against them?

Are we going to live differently because of the love of Christ or are we just going to look like the rest of the world in how we communicate with and treat other people?

Are we going to have a Christ-like heart that guides all we do and say or are we going to let our own words and thoughts take over?

Prayer:

Lord, when I fail to love others well, let your love that has claimed me and saved me, set me aright. Let your love flow through me, all for the sake of your name and your Kingdom. Amen.
