God’s commandment and moral law is a litmus test of whether we are righteous or not— whether we love God through obedience, or not--and we are not righteous through law. But the cross is a litmus test as to whether we are righteous or not through faith in Christ. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/jS1HfdzAIJE

Jesus declared on the Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles (tents/booths) that those who turn to him will have rivers of living water flow from them. Are we thirsty? Drink from Jesus. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/fSkmSRLovD0

Christ Jesus, the Son of God, is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. We are cleansed by his blood. We have life through his resurrection. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/YqF_vP7wh3Q

Our hope for society is that it will be just and perfect in the next life. We do not place our faith in laws, as such. Instead, what we need is to soften our hearts and place our faith in Christ. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/kV82HcC9yJE

We are called to the marvellous privilege of loving God, not just obeying him. Watch Here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/kSQBfBP7N7M

God is gracious. His covenants are grounded on grace. His love and grace to us are for our good, but ultimately for his glory. Our blessings in Christ assure us of salvation and a new life with him in our earthly home ahead, when he returns. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/wxQ34hvWT1g

We are prone to wander, to forget, to not remember the Lord our God. Yet, we are called to walk with the Lord, to set our minds on the things of the Spirit, to serve God. We can only do this through faith in Christ Jesus. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/Em9LTC653dA

In Deuteronomy 7 God drove out sin from the land that he was giving to his people. He will also drive out sin from the new heavens and new earth. We will live then in perfect love and joy, without the reality, or possibility, of sin. Watch Here: https://youtube.com/live/GMuvUS4rvA0

There is only one God, who calls us to love him, and teach about him to the next generation. We can do that through the tradition of church creed, confessions, catechisms. Watch Here: https://youtube.com/live/cwaYvxp40zM

The moral law (Ten Commandments) are not just legalistic rules imposed on us. They reflect the character of God. To be close to God, to be like God, we need to obey them. None of us has obeyed them. But Christ Jesus has. In him, therefore, is life. Through faith in him we have justification and life. And in him we can obey the moral law, follow Jesus, walk in the Spirit, and know the Father. The moral law is not optional, in knowing God. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/iqw8HkH4b1c

The Ten Commandments are not just the standard that shows us that we are sinners and need to be justified by faith--they are the pattern for us to live and obey, so that we will walk more closely with Jesus, walking in the Spirit, knowing God as the God who is love.

The Ten Commandments, the moral law, will not prove how good we are. Instead, it shows how sinful we are, and points us to Christ. But, it is also the standard by which we ought to live, in order to be more like Jesus. Obedience to the law is being transformed to be more like Jesus. The moral law is our friend, not to be feared, through faith in Christ, but to be cherished. Watch Here on Yotube: https://youtu.be/LT0B5q04hV0

Obedience to God's moral law is not simply obeying commands, it is how we love God. But we cannot love and obey without faith, without Christ. Let us draw near to Christ, to love and obey God. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/m3etwNnWl7c

Elders are Christ's gift to the church. Through the spiritual gifting of elders, and many other giftings, Christ leads the church. We pray for and humbly obey our elders in the Lord. Let us do so to give glory to Christ. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/4j4wj4gPYUU
