This series looks at the Ten Commandments given in Exodus 20. The law was given not to restrict God’s people, but to help them walk in freedom as they were created. Throughout this semester, we will learn how we are to live as those who are no longer slaves to sin, but are set free in Christ.
Every student should know:
- God is the One True God, and He has all authority

- The law is given by God to tell His redeemed people how to live

- Read through the book of Exodus
- Memorize the Bible verse each week
- Be obedient to God’s commands and repent of disobedience
Every student should feel:
- Grateful for God who brings His people out of slavery
- Convicted of the ways that they ignore the law that revives the soul
- Responsible to use their influence to make much of God alone
Every student should desire to:
- Repent of their tendencies to assume their own authority
- Grow as faithful servants of Jesus
- Help others move out of slavery to sin toward freedom in Christ
