[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 20]] ## Title: Start With Relationship ## Scripture: (Exodus 20:2) “I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. (NET) ## Observation: God is about to lay out the “rules of freedom.” He is going to help these multi-generational slaves learn how to stay in freedom. Before He shares a single command, He reminds them who is giving the commands. He is the God who loves them so much that He rescued them from slavery. Therefore, everything He tells them to do comes from that foundation. When we read God’s Word, it is possible to sometimes think God is trying to take the fun out of life. It seems all the things we want to do are found in the sections that warn us to stay away. However, when we remember who God is and how much He loves us, we realize there must always be a reason for why He says what He says. You can trust God because of what He has already done. ## Application: Where do you need to trust God today? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us more than we will ever realize.
