        to us, we acknowledge that we have broken each one. Forgive us for
        failing to honor Your festive day of rest. Forgive us when we fail to learn,
        participate, pray, and bring offerings in worship. Forgive us when we do

Sermon Notes
  Ahab’s End
I Kings 22:29-53
Reading of the Law: Exodus 20:1-17 - The Ten Commandments
Minister: 1 And God spoke all these words, saying: 2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought
you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no other gods
before Me.
Congregation: 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your
God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third
and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those
who love Me and keep My commandments.
Minister: 7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not
hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Congregation: 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and
do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall
do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female
servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days
the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the
seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Minister: 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land
which the LORD your God is giving you.
Congregation: 13 “You shall not murder.
Minister: 14 “You shall not commit adultery.
Congregation: 15 “You shall not steal.
Minister: 16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Congregation: 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your
neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey,
nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
