10 Commandments (Lent I)

This Lent, we are spending each week looking at a different section of the Bible. This week we are looking at the Torah (sometimes called "Pentateuch"), the first five books of the Old Testament. Lots of Sunday stories come from this section of the Bible, but adults readers don't often go here for a variety of reasons. One of the most important stories in this part of the Bible is the giving of the 10 commandments. So what do these old -- very old -- laws say about God and humanity? Three key words: Relationship, relevance and repentance.
