The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments are more than simply rules and laws. They are a foundation of moral teaching and shape our obligations as Christians in relationship to God. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai after being rescued by God from slavery in Egypt. These Commandments are the expression and sign of the Covenant between God and God’s people and are just as powerful and binding as they were when they were written.

I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods before me

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain

Remember to keep holy the Lord's day

Honor your father and your mother

You shall not kill

You shall not commit adultery

You shall not steal

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor

You shall not desire your neighbor's wife

You shall not desire your neighbor's goods

The 2 Greatest Commandments

When asked which was the greatest of the commandments, Jesus responded with two. In this teaching of Jesus, these commandments complement each other and cannot be seen as existing apart from the other. The first is to love the Lord thy God with all thy YOUR heart, soul, mind and strength and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself.

The 8 Beatitudes

These are teachings of Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount in which he describes the attitudes and actions that should characterize his disciples and followers. They can be seen as blueprints for living an authentic Christian life.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land

Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy

Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven
