The Ten Commandments — A Family Study Guide

The Ten Commandments were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai approximately 3,400 years ago. They have never been improved upon. Every legal system in the western world traces its roots to these ten statements. They are not outdated. They are the foundation.

But most people think the Ten Commandments are a list of rules. They are not. They are a covenant document between God and His people — and the most important thing about them is the sentence that comes before any of the commandments: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. God did not give these commands to earn His people's freedom. He had already freed them. The commandments describe how the redeemed live.

This family study guide walks through all ten commandments with your child — one at a time, with depth and honesty. For each commandment you will find the scripture in its original context, the biblical meaning explained clearly for parent and child together, a family application that connects the commandment to your child's daily life, and a Soul Check question that brings it all the way home.

The guide closes with a section connecting all ten commandments directly to the Two Roads framework from Matthew 7:13–14. The commandments are not the entry requirement for the narrow road. They are its description. A person walking the narrow road does not refrain from murder because it is illegal. They refrain because every human being around them is made in the image of the God they love.

Includes two cinematic illustrations — Moses receiving the tablets on Mount Sinai, and Elijah studying the Ten Commandments with his mother and Tucker as Jesus points to the words on the page.
