Intro:
Turn to the sitting next to you
This is a test!
You won’t be graded, but let’s test your memory.
Quickly, name 10 cars, by brand.
\\ Now, name 10 Movie Stars, living or dead, male or female.
\\ Now, name 10 famous musicians or bands….
You know, like Elvis, the Beatles, and so forth.
\\ NOW: Name the 10 Commandments!
In order, preferably.
Name as many as you can.
\\ \\ If you are having trouble remembering them all, you are not alone.
\\ In 2004, a group or 25 Senators sponsored a bill to protect the display of the Ten Commandments on public property.
They said the 10 Commandments were the cornerstone of a civilized society and they represent all the United States was founded on and should stand for.
But when a reporter asked if any of them could name the Ten Commandments, only one of them could!
\\ According to a recent PollTronics poll, less than 10% of Americans can name more than four!
(23% thought the 2nd Commandment gave us the right to bear arms!
31% said the 9th Commandment prohibited the removal of Ten Commandment displays!)
\\ How would you like to learn how to remember all Ten Commandments \\ Repeat this to yourself a few times and you’ll remember it forever!
\\ \\ \\ \\ ONE - GOD is ONE, there is NO OTHER.
“You shall have no other gods before Me .”
(Exodus 20:3) \\ \\ TWO - TABOO.
What is taboo?
Idols.
Images.
False gods.
“You shall not make for yourself an idol.”
(Exodus 20:4) \\ \\ THREE - VANITY.
From “vain,” i.e., “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, .”
(Exodus 20:7) \\ \\ FOUR – CHURCH DOOR.
It’s what you should enter through every Sunday.
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy .”
(Exodus 20:8) \\ \\ FIVE - ALIVE.
Only one commandment out of the ten has a promise connected to it.
The Fifth Commandment promises “long life” to those who obey it.
So, to stay alive longer, “Honor thy father and thy mother.”
(Exodus 20:12) \\ \\ SIX-FEET UNDER.
Don’t put anybody six feet under, or in other words, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13) \\ \\ SEVEN-YEAR-ITCH.
The old movie by that title illustrated a statistical fact; that after seven years of marriage many develop a wandering eye and are tempted to play musical beds.
“You shall not commit adultery.”
(Exodus 20:14) \\ \\ EIGHT - GO STRAIGHT!
Picture yourself watching an old black-and-white Humphrey Bogart movie.
He’s the convict about to be released from prison, standing before the wardens desk.
The warden says, “Here are your release papers.
Now, don’t get in any more trouble.
No stealing.
From now on, go straight.”
Hence, Eight - Go Straight.
“You shall not steal.”
(Exodus 20:15) \\ \\ NINE - MALIGN.
What does it mean to malign someone?
It means to falsely accuse them, to slander them, to do harm to their name, character, or reputation.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
(Exodus 20:16) \\ \\ TEN - A PERFECT TEN!
We often grade things on a scale of one to ten.
One being the least, and ten being the very best.
If a car is a 10 it is an amazing car.
If a man or a woman is said to be a 10, they are a real knockout.
We like and admire a 10.
But be careful, because what you admire, you might begin to lust after.
\\ “You shall not covet.”
(Exodus 20:17)

Gods Positioning System
A series of sermons on the ten commandants
The commandments are like the GPS it is a way that God has provided for us to always know how to find him
And God spoke all these words:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
The first commandment guides us to say to the lord “ you are my lord and God.
I want nobody but you on the throne of my life.
you alone, you uniquely, will have this exclusive place in my life
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’a
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
*How to recognize a God*
Let us start by asking a few questions
*What is a God?*
Exodus 20:5 (NIV) \\ 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them;
A God is not we say is a God but what we bow down and worship is our God.
If we say it is what we worship then it would be things that would describe worship.
For the sake of this illustration I will use soccer or pele as my God.
I need to explain the raltionship
*Sacrificing *
Give valuable things or gifts
Example: I would pay extra money to have the cable station just to watch soccer anytime I wanted to.
