This sermon reframes the Ten Commandments as “Ten Words”—divine instructions pointing toward blessing rather than mere rules to avoid punishment. Understanding that grace precedes law, these moral guidelines reflect God’s character and protect our relationships with Him and others. While ceremonial and civil laws were fulfilled in Christ, the moral law remains binding, summarized in loving God and neighbor wholeheartedly.
