Ten

Commandments

After you do something that isn’t right, do you wonder if you’re still a member of God’s family? Everyone who believes in Jesus needs to know that Satan can’t pull you away from your forever family. No one, no how, no way can separate you from the love of God. Not even your own sin. Before you placed your faith in Christ, you were like a kite on the ground with no strength to fly. Then it was as if Jesus picked you up, tied a long unbreakable string around your heart, and set you aloft. He’ll never let you go. He permanently holds you tight. So enjoy the flight. You’re on your way up, up, up to heaven, and that’s worth hollering about with everything you’ve got. God’s Love Holds Me Tight Like a Kite! He Will Never Let Go!

^{The Ten Commandments}

Do you have rules in your home?

Are there things you are not allowed to do?

What are some of the rules at your school?

How about laws and traffic rules?

God gave the Israelites ten rules, called “The Ten Commandments”. They were rules that would show them how to love and respect one another and God.

The Ten Commandments

#1 “You must not have any other god but me.”

#2 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens oron the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord yourGod, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods.”

#3 “You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God.”

#4 “Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”

#5 “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

#6 “You must not murder.”

#7 “You must not commit adultery.”

#8 “You must not steal.”

#9 “You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.”

#10 “You must not cove tyour neighbor’s house. You must not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.”

No one has ever been saved by keeping the ten commandments. God wanted US ALL to realize that WE fall short and that WE need a savior. That savior is Jesus!

When Jesus came to earth, He summed up the ten commandments into just two

#1 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”

#2 “You shall love your neighbor like you love yourself.”

The rules show us that we can't be good enough on our own. They help us see we need Jesus, who died for our sins to bring us close to God. Jesus Shows Us How to Live: We follow these rules not to make God love us, but because we already love Him.

Blessings are special gifts from God, including special things He does for people. Abraham wanted God to bless him with children. God told Abraham that his kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and everyone else born into his family would number more than the grains of sand by the sea! God has blessings for you, too: healthy days, people to love you, food to eat, pets to love, God’s Word to guide you, life with God forever, and so much more! God gives everyone who believes in Him as many blessings as there are grains of sand on the seashore! And that’s just too many to count. God’s Blessings For Me Are Like The Sand By The Sea

Brothers and sisters often fight because no one wants to share the spotlight. That’s the way it was with Joseph and his 10 older brothers. Joseph was his daddy’s favorite, and that made his brothers very jealous. The jealousy grew into hatred, and they finally sold Joseph as a slave to some men going far away to Egypt. Sometimes parents and other family members do things that are unfair. But the message to us is pretty clear: Allowing ourselves to become jealous can open the gate to hate. Jealousy Opens the Gate to Hate

A mirror on its own is just a piece of glass with a special coating. What makes a mirror really special is the way it shows the figure or image in front of it. You probably used a mirror this morning to get ready for the day. Maybe you brushed your hair and made sure your clothes were just right. Your mirror’s job was to show or reflect your image. When God made people, He gave us the job of reflecting His image like a mirror. That’s extra special, isn’t it? Everyone – including you – has God’s image inside. You reflect what God is like just as your mirror reflects how you look! When we are kind and forgiving, we allow God’s love to be “reflected” off our life like a mirror reflects the way we look. Then everyone can understand God a little better. Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall, God’s Image Is In Us All

Satan is tricky and speaks through whatever gets our attention. The Bible says that in the beginning, snakes didn’t have to crawl on the ground. They were very smart and very clever. So Satan used a snake to sneak up on Eve and ask: “Did God really say that?” Whenever any voice tells us not to believe God’s words in the Bible, remember that the devil’s behind it, coiled and hissing at us like a snake. Don’t listen. Don’t even get close! Call to God for Help to understand Satin’s tricks. And be ready to go the other way. I Make a Mistake When I Listen to the Snake

Weaving is the process of making cloth by crossing two sets of threads over and under each other. One set, the warp, is stretched up and down on a loom or frame. The other set, the weft, gets woven from left to right. Get it? Weft-left. To make cloth, a weaver threads the weft over and under the warp again and again. God is the Master Weaver. He promises to make every up-and-down and over-and-under weave of your life work together for your good. Learn to believe in God’s perfect weave. Tell Him often, out loud, that you trust His leadership in your life. No matter what. I Believe in God’s Perfect Weave

What does it take for God to get your attention? Do you check out God’s Word to see what He wants you to do? Do you listen to your parents and teachers? Or does it take something bigger for you to follow Him? God will do whatever it takes to get our attention. One day when Moses was minding his own business, God showed up in a burning bush that didn’t burn up. God told Moses to go back to Egypt and lead his people out of slavery into the Promised Land. God used that burning bush to push Moses into action. How is God trying to get your attention? Whatever He does, stop and listen. Then do what He says. You’ll be glad you did. God Can Use a Burning Bush Whenever I Need a Push
