This is the first sermon in this series covering the Ten Commandments. Why is there a need for this series? In this message we'll review a little of our history, from the perspective of the speaker, from twenty-some years ago. We'll focus on our Shepherd, who leads us. We will look into the Scriptures to find the answer to the question, "Are the ten commandments still to be kept by Christians?" And we will hear the approach that we will follow throughout this continuing series, with our focus on WHY God gave each of the ten commandments.
