Workshop Lesson 8
Ten Commandments - Murder and Adultery

Memory Verses

The Fifth Commandment
You shall not murder.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need.

The Sixth Commandment
You shall not commit adultery.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we lead a sexually pure and decent life in what we say and do, and husband and wife love and honor each other.

Terms to help us understand:

Capital Punishment

Murder

Neighbor

War

Adultery

Marriage

Pure



Student Thought Time

  1. What do you think of capital punishment? How do you see God’s word in Exodus 20:13 applying?

  2. Luther suggested that killing doesn’t simply mean ending someone’s life. What else are we not supposed to do to our neighbors?

  3. How do each of these break the fifth commandment?
              Harsh words & insults
              Beating someone up
              Gossip
              Skipping church

  4. What was God’s intention and first instruction for sex according to Genesis 1:28?

  5. What is God’s intention for your sex life according to Genesis 2:24?

  6. What was Jesus’ interpretation of the purpose of marriage according to Matthew 19:5-6?

  7. According to Luther’s interpretation in the Small Catechism, what does God require in the sixth commandment and how do we sin against it?

Assignment for the week of December 1, 2004

  • You will need a spiral notebook or three-ring binder specifically to save each Lesson’s assignment and the work accomplished. Your guide may ask to see the work at any time.

  • Faith Story focus for this week:

    • Get a newspaper or news magazine and find examples of people keeping and breaking the 5th & 6th Commandments. Share your observations about what happens when people keep, and when they break, these commandments. Make notes on your findings.

  • Attend weekly worship. Fill out the Worship Notes (available in the narthex) and return them to Nancy Schuett when completed.

Your Faith Story

  At the conclusion of this year, you have the opportunity to compose and share your faith story. Your faith life has been influenced by parents, family, friends, mentors, Sunday School classes, youth group experiences, etc. Take some time over this coming year to write about how these faith life experiences have affected you and your faith. Each week you will be given a thought to think and write about. Write a paragraph and keep it in your spiral notebook or three-ring binder. Each thought will guide you in eventually writing your faith story in February. Show Nancy at least monthly that you are accomplishing these assignments.
