The Church on the Mountain and the Church in the Valley

by Foothills Church on September 22, 2019

In Pastor Mark’s sermon about “The Church in the Valley and the Church on the Mountain” he gave us an introduction to the Ten Commandments. In this lesson we will dig deeper into each of the 10 Commandments to understand them and to apply them to our lives so we can inherit the blessing that only comes through obedience to God’s Law.

The 10 Commandments are not only the stipulations for God’s people to remain in covenant with God, they are God’s prescription for a harmonious and godly life and social order. God’s commandments are specifically designed to maximize blessing and peace between people.

Read Ezekiel 11:19-20. This is a prophecy about a coming age (the one we live in) where God would actually place His Holy Spirit inside believers. What is the purpose this passage gives for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?

Re-read the Ten Commandments for yourself: Exodus 20:1-17. Now read Jesus’ declaration in Matthew 5:19. Which of the Commandments are optional for us today?
