The first commandment might be a puzzler: if there are no other gods, why should God feel the need to tell us not to worship them? And why is this commandment of paramound importance?

The Ten Commandments are the most famous laws in the world, yet few people know what all ten of them are. In this session we introduce the commandments: why did God give them to us? Are they picked arbitrarily? Did people not know right from wrong beforehand? And how are we supposed to obey them today? All this covered, and more.
Coveting is not a word we use these days – but it’s more relevant than ever. In the final of the Ten Commandments series, we look at our desires and how we can get what we want.

I suspect that if you asked people to list the the commandments they remember, “Do not murder” would be #1 on the list. It’s still seen as the most heinous thing you can do. But most people also think they’re not guilty – that it’s irrelevant to them. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

The fifth commandment tells us to honour our parents. What does that mean? In this session we see that it has much wider implications than for parents and children!

In the third commandment, God tells us not to misuse the Lord’s name. But what does that even mean – how is it possible to use or misuse someone’s name? And how can we obey that in the 21st century?
