Learning the House Rules

Life Group Questions
This Life Group season runs from February 2 – April 6, 2025.
1. Take a look at the ten commandments in Exodus 20:1-17. How much do you think about the ten commandments?
2. The ten commandments are a part of Scripture that we see in our culture. Posted on buildings, posters, or even referenced when people say “thou shalt not [fill in the blank here].” Do you think there is a generally positive or negative view of the commandments in our culture?
3. How could a person’s understanding of the ten commandments impact their view of God’s character? How does it impact your view of God’s character?
4. The ten commandments are a covenant that God makes with Israel (his covenant people). Take a look at the resource below on some differences between a Covenant and a contract. A contract would be a legal matter (law) whereas a covenant is a relational matter. Also, the commandments were provided after the Israelites were freed, not before. How do these details impact your view of the function of the ten commandments?
5. Because they are from the Old Testament, sometimes people think the ten commandments are irrelevant for today. Read Titus 2:11-14. What part do the ten commandments play in saying “no” to ungodliness? How could the commandment help you live a more godly life as you await the return of Jesus?
