Matthew may have originally been composed in Aramaic then translated later into
Am I My Brother’s Keeper? 'Point of Reference' from Fred Price

The Ten Commandments MovieMinistry Bible Study Series
How can you obey the law you do not know?
After testing numerous teens, college-aged students, adults, and even entire congregations it is clear that the majority of Christians can not even list the 10 Commandments. That is why MovieMinistry created this 10 Commandments Bible Study Series. Each study incorporates a film clip (from readily available DVDs) that illustrates some aspect of each Commandment. Using clips temporarily takes the focus off the participant and allows them to examine situations involving others. Then the study drives them toward the Scriptures where they can hear the Commandment from Exodus 20 and look at other passages that illuminate it. Finally, each participant is challenged to change their attitudes and behaviors , taking God's Word and letting it transform their lives.
The Ten Commandments Bible Study Series contains the following individual studies:
Why Should I Care About God's Law, You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me, You Shall Not Make Idols for Yourselves, You Shall Not Misuse the Name of the Lord, Remember the Sabbath Day by Keeping It Holy, Honor Your Father and Your Mother , You Shall Not Murder, You Shall Not Commit Adultery, You Shall Not Steal, You Shall Not Give False Testimony, and You Shall Not Covet.
