This is the word of the Lord.

So I'm glad to be here with you and thankful, as John was saying, for the support that Emmanuel gives to us and the encouragement that I've had over the years and still today.

As you've heard, we are looking at the commandment, you shall not murder.

And it might be among the most obvious verses in the Bible, right? Why have a sermon on you shall not murder when, you know, well, it's hard to find someone who disagrees, isn't it? Or at least who will admit it.

And I don't know how you've read the Ten Commandments before.

I think it's really interesting to take a slow look at them like this because myself in the past, you know, I would have skipped over it.

If you wanted to see the Ten Commandments as a list of boxes to tick, I haven't done that.
