Living By Design - Week 1

This weeks message will be uploaded later this week, and not live streamed due to some technical difficulties. We will be back live streaming next week!

This week’s message reminded us that everything in life has a design, and God has designed us with a purpose. The Ten Commandments are not restrictive rules, but God’s blueprint for living in freedom, blessing, and right relationship with Him and with others.

Pastor Dwayne Smith walked us through how God gave Israel the commandments after rescuing them from slavery—laying a foundation for a new nation that would reflect His character. Just like a building is only as strong as its foundation, our lives and society need God’s design at the center.

The Ten Commandments shape the moral framework that keeps communities from chaos and flourishing in harmony. Jesus summed them up in two commands: love God fully and love your neighbor as yourself. When we live this way, we align with God’s good purpose and experience the life He intends for us.
