Exodus 20:14
When young is cool, and old is outdated, parents can easily be dismissed. When parents fail their children, the challenge to honour them is even greater.

Exodus 20:13
In a world that finds its worth in constant activity, rest can feel like a luxury we can’t afford. But it’s in sacred times of rest that we meet God and taste the relationship that we were created to enjoy. This message explores the holy rest to which the Fourth Commandment points.

The casual way that we use God’s name reveals the careless thoughts that we have about Him. This message looks at the connection between the way we speak and the reverence God deserves as described in the Third Commandment.
Exodus 20:7
We imagine God in various ways and assume He’s pleased with the diversity of our worship. But it’s possible to grieve God even when we think we’re honouring Him. This message looks at the true nature of worship that’s at the heart of the Second Commandment.
Exodus 20:4-6
Moral people try to define goodness apart from God. Religious people like to measure righteousness by their rules. But God cares most about our heart’s loyalty. This message looks at the allegiance that’s at the heart of the First Commandment.
