That You May Live

In this message we delve into the profound significance of the Ten Commandments, not as burdensome rules, but as a gift of God's grace. We explore how these 'ten words' were celebrated by the Israelites as a means to protect and enhance their newfound freedom after escaping slavery in Egypt. The commandments aren't just about restricting behavior, but about providing a foundation for judicial wisdom and common law that could lead to a life of true freedom under God's wise and fair rule. We're challenged to see the law not as oppressive, but as progressive - a way to display the best of what life could be in this world.
