Exodus 20:1-13 ~ Old School: Don’t Murder

Text: Exodus 20:1-13

Title: Old School: Don’t Murder

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

After God rescues the Israelites from their captivity in Egypt, he brings them to Mt. Sinai where he gives them the law, which includes the 10 Commandments. These commandments are not guidelines for all humanity, but a call from God to live as a counter-cultural community. They produce a people who in our daily live as a sign, a signal, and a witness that God has not left the world to its own devices. Instead, God has come to rescue, save, and restore all that has been broken and marred by sin. This sixth week of our series, we consider the call of God to be not only a people who don’t murder, but who honor life.
