We believe and teach the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. We stress the importance of observing all of God’s commandments. The fourth commandment reads, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work (Exodus 20:8-11) …” This commandment is just as important as the other nine commandments. “Thou shalt not kill” and “Thou shalt not steal” are the sixth and eighth commandments respectively and just as we believe in observing them, so we believe in observing the fourth commandment regarding The Sabbath (7th Day). The seventh day (Sabbath) is Saturday. As stated above, we cannot go to work on this day. Furthermore, the Bible commands us to have A Holy Convocation (Church Service) and refrain from all commerce on the Seventh day (Saturday). Again, this is a very important part of our faith. We, therefore, humbly ask, that you allow the above employee/student to miss work/school on Saturday, without prejudice. Lastly, the Bible speaks of seven annual Sabbaths, which we also observe (Ex: Passover, Pentecost, Atonement). The dates of these Holy Days vary from year to year according to the lunar calendar. Our members are given a list of these days well in advance and accordingly we ask you to allow them to miss work/school on these very special religious observances. Your consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Elijah Israel Elijah Israel Pastor/Teacher Note: This year the feasts will be observed on: Passover- 3/26/21; Unleavened Bread – 3/28/21 & 4/3/21; Feast of Pentecost – 5/23/21; Trumpets - 9/8/21; Atonement - 9/17/21; Feast of Tabernacles - 9/22/21 & 9/29/21. .

Bible Study Notes: the Ten Commandments
– Anita Dole Bible Study Notes Volume 2 – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Exodus 19:16-25;20:1-21 First see how much the children can tell about the crossing of the Red Sea. Then remind them that when the people found other difficulties and dangers as they traveled through the wilderness, the Lord saved them each time. They reached Sinai in the third month after they left Egypt. The teacher in preparation should read carefully chapters 15-19, especially all of the nineteenth chapter, and begin the story for today with the events of that chapter. Doctrinal Points The ten commandments are divine laws-not man-made ones. Notes for Parents The journey of the children of Israel through the wilderness was to last for forty years, although the Israelites had no idea of this when they started out. They were a great multitude of people-some six hundred thousand-with flocks and herds which had to feed along the way. But their delay was caused by their own complainings and rebellions and cowardice, not by the length or difficulty of the journey. So it is with us. The wilderness journey pictures the period in our lives when, after we have deter mined to break off the fetters of worldly and selfish living, we are trying to make our lives over, to break our bad habits and learn good ones. We, too, often complain and rebel and waste time and strength looking back instead of pressing forward. You know the many wonderful ways in which the Lord met the needs of the people one after another as they arose.

Catholicism and the Ten Commandments
Catholicism and the Ten Commandments https://www.dummies.com/religion/christianity/catholicism/catholicism-and-the-ten-commandments/ According to Exodus in the Old Testament, God issued his own set of laws (the Ten Commandments) to Moses on Mount Sinai. In Catholicism, the Ten Commandments are considered divine law because God himself revealed them. And because they were spelled out specifically with no room for ambiguity, they’re also positive law. Hence they’re also known as divine positive law. The Church doesn’t see the Ten Commandments as arbitrary rules and regulations from the man upstairs but as commandments for protection. Obey them and eternal happiness is yours. Disobey them and suffer the consequences. For more, take a look at the Twelve Articles of Catholic Faith. The ten commandments, in order, are: 1. “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.” This commandment forbids idolatry, the worship of false gods and goddesses, and it excludes polytheism, the belief in many gods, insisting instead on monotheism, the belief in one God. This commandment forbids making golden calves, building temples to Isis, and worshipping statues of Caesar, for example. 2. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” The faithful are required to honor the name of God. It makes sense that if you’re to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, then you’re naturally to respect the name of God with equal passion and vigor. 3. “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.” The Jewish celebration of Sabbath (Shabbat) begins at sundown on Friday evening and lasts until sundown on Saturday.

Second Sunday of Lent
2nd Sunday of Lent Every year we have, in all three years of the liturgical cycle, the Gospel story of the Transfiguration on the second Sunday of Lent. This year we have Mark’s version. Genesis 22:1-2. 9-13. 15-18 Abraham is the great Old Testament figure of faith. At the age of seventy-five he answered the call of God and set off for an unknown land. Romans 8:31-34 Paul poses questions: “With God on our side who can be against us?” “When God acquits, could anyone condemn?” The answer is “No!” Mark 9:2-10 For the second time in the Gospels, at Jesus’ transfiguration, the voice of the Father informs the disciples that Jesus is the Father’s beloved Son and adds, “Listen to him.” Reflection "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him". Soon after Jesus' first prediction of his passion and death, he took three of his disciples up a mountain and gave them a glimpse of his future glory. It was on a mountain that God was revealed to Moses, the liberator and Law-giver, and to Elijah, the great prophet. The appearance of Moses and Elijah on the Mount of the Transfiguration was a revelation that Jesus was the new liberator and the new prophet, showing the unity and continuity of God's redeeming work. Peter was awestruck and proposed to set up three tents (such as ones the Israelites lived in, on their journey to the Promised Land). A cloud overshadowed them all, reminiscent of the ‘shekinah’ or ‘glory of God’ that filled the tent in the wilderness (Ex 40:35).

The Ten Commandments
Welcome to OUR 9th VIRTUAL GSP class! the Ten Commandments. O Almighty Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. PSALM 19.7-8 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and gives light to the eyes. WHERE DO WE FIND THE TEXT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? The Ten Commandments, a set of Biblical principles relating to ethics and worship fundamental to both Judaism and Christianity, appear twice in the Old Testament at Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6- 21. The text of these two references are virtually identical. The commandments are called “the ten words,” “the ten sayings,” or “the ten matters.” In the Septuagint the “ten words” in Greek became “Decalogue.” Exodus 20: 1-7, King James Version (1611) 20 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Thou Shalt Not Covet (Exodus 20:17)
(Devotional #32) Christian Liberty and the Law – The Ten Commandments: The 10th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Covet (Exodus 20:17) WHAT SHALL WE THEN SAY? That the Law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the Law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the Law had not said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COVET’ – Romans 7:7 AND HE SAID TO THEM, ‘take care, and be on guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions’ – Luke 12:15 PUT TO DEATH, therefore, what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry – Colossians 3:5 YOU SHALL NOT COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE; YOU SHALL NOT COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR’S WIFE OR HIS MALE SERVANT OR HIS FEMALE SERVANT OR HIS OX OR HIS DONKEY OR ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO YOUR NEIGHBOR – Exodus 20:17 (“Thou Shalt Not Covet” is the King James translation of the 10th Commandment.) One could say, ‘OUR CULTURE VALUES COVETING.’ MADISON AVENUE INCITES US TO COVET! Think about the Media. The Media has made an industry out of discontent. The never-ending message is: ‘Look at these people! They are living a great life! Look at what they have! Now look in the mirror – at YOU! If you had what they have, you would be happy too! BUY TODAY, PAY TOMORROW! Don’t worry if you don’t have the money – CHARGE IT! You can have it now – interest free for six months!’ One writer has said, “the American motto no longer is, LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS; it is LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURCHASE OF HAPPINESS.

The Eighth Commandment: Thou Shall Not Steal
The Eighth Commandment: Thou Shall Not Steal by: Ronald L. Dart The Ten Commandments are truly a remarkable collection. I know that is stating the obvious, since God is the one who handed them down, but when you think about them altogether, a fascinating picture comes forward. These are not merely good things for an individual to do, a prescription for right and wrong conduct by a single person. These are the building blocks of civil society. The last six of the Ten Commandments are said to be summarized by the statement "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." And that's well enough, but I want to take another look at them from the community standpoint. God’s Ten Commandments Are the Building Blocks of a Civil Society In this series on the Ten Commandments, we've recently been through Commandment number five and six and seven. Now we come to number eight, and for some reason, it really struck me, as I was preparing for this, how important these laws are to society. The Fifth Commandment, for example, "Honor your father and your mother so that you may live long in the land which the LORD your God has given you," establishes the importance of family ties. Jesus interpreted this commandment to include taking care of your elderly parents if they could not take care of themselves. I think I mentioned earlier, I asked some elderly friends of mine, "What did people do before Social Security?" They said, "Families took care of them." People who got old, and if they were infirmed and couldn't take care of themselves, their children took care of them.

The Commands of God (The Ten Commandments)
The Commands of God (The Ten Commandments) When thinking of the commands of God, it is easy to put them off as something the Lord spoke many years ago. Relics of the past and possibly not even relevant to the manner in which our lives are carried out today. However, given the eternal nature of God, He is always relevant, no matter the year, generation, time period or otherwise. God does not necessarily have to do a new thing either. The immutability of God says that He doesn’t change (Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not…). He is the same yesterday, today, and will be forever more. Although God is immutable, that does not mean He doesn’t understand the ever changing and evolving nature of our world and societies. Therefore as we seek to address the immutability of God in an ever-changing world, what of the commands of God. They have not changed either. They need not change, and they never will. It is the unchanging nature of God’s commands that offer stability in this cosmos as it evolves. What is needed now more than ever before is to know what God commands relative to our relationship with him, and then secondly how we are to love and care for one another. The one set of constructs or “Commands of God” that address this as well as, if not better than any other is the Ten Commandments. In this study (of a two-part study) we will look at the commands of God within the context of the Ten Commandments: what they are, what they mean, and their relevance in our ever-evolving world.
