Lesson Highlight: The Sixth Commandment –
"Do Not Murder"
Sunday, Sam and Noel Gray led a powerful and memorable lesson on the Sixth Commandment: “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Blending biblical truth with personal stories—and even a few sweet surprises—they helped us see how this commandment reaches far beyond physical acts. Jesus taught that anger, hatred, and contempt in the heart are just as serious (Matthew 5:21–22).
Their teaching reminded us that every human life is sacred, created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). We were challenged to examine our hearts, pursue reconciliation, and live as peacemakers who reflect God’s love.
Key Takeaway: Murder begins in the heart. Christ calls us to let go of anger, forgive freely, and reflect His love in our actions.
"If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." — Romans 12:18

This Week:
From Tragedy to Triumph:
A Journey of Forgiveness You Won’t Want to Miss
This week’s extend lesson on Exodus 20:13 – “You shall not murder” will be unlike any other. Helen Perry Simkins and John Sage will share their deeply personal story of losing their sister to a brutal murder—and the extraordinary path God led them on toward forgiveness.
Out of their pain, they founded Bridges to Life, a prison ministry that brings healing to victims and offenders alike through the power of the Gospel. Their testimony is one of heartbreak, grace, and transformation—and a living example of how God can redeem even the darkest of tragedies.
Join us for this unforgettable lesson of real-world faith, as we explore what it truly means to forgive—and to live out the Sixth Commandment with the heart of Christ.
