The Ten Commandments

When the Ten Commandments are in the news, it is usually because a judge or teacher has hung them up on the walls. The Ten Commandments do not need to be posted or even preached nearly so much as they need to be practiced. They need to be taken down from the wall and talked about, defended as well as debated, but most of all, they need to be taken seriously. Then, rather than seeing them as tokens, insults, or negative "thou-shalt-nots," we will view them as life-giving, joyful affirmations of a better way of life. NextSunday Resources offers Bible studies designed to help adults study Scripture seriously within the context of the larger Christian tradition and, through that process, find their faith renewed, challenged, and strengthened. We study the Scriptures because we believe they affect our current lives in important ways. Inside, you’ll find a Study Guide and a Commentary for each Lesson.
