The Program and Bulletin for the SPC Worship Service - Sunday, July 26, 2026

Jesus reframes the ten commandments from a list of external rules into matters of the heart. He taught that true righteousness is not merely about avoiding bad actions, but about harboring pure thoughts and actively demonstrating love for God and humanity. During the months of July, August and September, we’ll consider the Ten Commandments Through the Eyes of Jesus, focusing on the following topics:

July 5 - the Ultimate Summary
July 12 - No Other Gods
July 19- No Idols
July 26 - Do Not Take God's Name in Vain
August 9 - Keep the Sabbath Holy
August 16 - Honor Your Father and Mother
August 23 - Do Not Murder
August 30 - Do Not Commit Adultery
September 6 - Do Not Steal
September 13 - Do Not Bear False Witness
September 20 - Do Not Covet

On Sunday, we'll discuss the Third Commandment:

“You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. [Exodus 20:7, CEV]

Below is the bulletin and program for the service. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). You can hear a podcast of the service at the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel or the Sligo Presbyterian Spotify Page.
