The Good Life Study: Do Not Commit Adultery

1. What was your biggest takeaway from the video teaching time? How significant is it that God devoted a second command to the family? What does this tell us about how the church should value and protect the family?

2. Read Exodus 20:14 and Deuteronomy 5:18. Again, this commandment is stated simply and directly. Why do you think God included this commandment in the list of ten? Why is God so concerned that we handle the gift of sex rightly? What damage can it do?

3. Read Matthew 5:27-30. How strongly did Jesus speak against adultery? How did He deepen the original commandment? How does this help us understand the true meaning of faithfulness? What does faithfulness look like in our relationships with both God and with our spouses?

4. How is our culture’s view of sex both too high and too low? How have we elevated sex to an unhealthy place? In what ways has our culture missed the point of what sex is?

5. Read Ephesians 5:21-33. Paul tells us that the covenant between a husband and wife is a picture of the covenant between us and God. How does marriage paint a picture of the Gospel? Between this command and the fifth, how can our homes represent Christ?
