Last Sunday's Sermon:

 

thetenwords

What are the Ten Words? In English we call them the ‘Ten Commandments', but in Hebrew they literally mean the ‘10-words'. But more importantly than the meaning of the word is the importance of them for life, love and justice. They are more than simply a ‘moral code'. Without the 10-commandments there would be no basis for human rights. In a culture which is deeply confused about love, they define the nature of love. For example, ‘you shall not commit adultery' is not only a ‘no' to sexual promiscuity, but a ‘yes' to family, spouse and children. They both prohibit and protect. Martin Luther, the 16th c. pastor and theologian said that "whoever knows the Ten Commandments perfectly knows the whole of Scripture." Why would he say that? What about grace? What does Jesus have to say about the 10-commandments? What is their significance for a Christian spirituality of everyday life? Eugene Wu, Mark Swallow, Jonathan Webster and Brent Fulton will lead us in what we trust will be an important new teaching series.
