The Eighth Commandment reminds us that our words matter. We can use them to spread rumors, twist a story, or make someone look bad — or we can use them to tell the truth, protect others, and help when someone is hurting.

The Seventh Commandment reminds us to respect what belongs to other people. It teaches us to be honest, trustworthy, and content with what God has given us — instead of letting “I want it” take over.

The Sixth Commandment reminds us that love is faithful. God gives marriage, family, our bodies, and the people around us as good gifts — and He teaches us to treat those gifts with care, respect, and love.

The Fifth Commandment reminds us that life is God’s gift. It is about more than not hurting someone — it is also about protecting, helping, caring for, and showing love to the people God created.

The Fourth Commandment reminds us that honoring others means more than just doing what they say. It means listening, showing respect, helping, and recognizing the important roles God has given them in our lives.

The Third Commandment reminds us that God sets apart time for His Word and worship. Through His Word, the Holy Spirit gives faith, strengthens faith, and keeps pointing us back to Jesus.

The Second Commandment reminds us that God’s name is holy and good. We do not always use His name rightly, and His name is not just a word to avoid misusing — it is the name we call on in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.

The First Commandment reminds us that God belongs first in our hearts. We do not always fear, love, and trust Him above all things — but Jesus did perfectly for us, and through Him we are forgiven and made His own.

Proclaim It Loud & Claire is taking break during August, so catch up on past episodes, follow along (@loudandclaire.audiduced) for updates, and get ready for "Loved & Led: The 10 Commandment" starting Sunday, September 6.

Luke 14:15–24 reminds us that God’s invitation is pure grace. Everything is ready because of Jesus, and there is room at the table for sinners like us.

Matthew 13:45–46 reminds us that our hearts are always searching for something that truly lasts. In Jesus, God gives us the Savior we need most — forgiveness, life, and a place in His kingdom forever.

Matthew 13:47-50 reminds us that the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea — catching all kinds of fish. God's Word goes out to everyone, and through faith in Jesus, we belong to Him forever.

Galatians 5:1 reminds us that the greatest freedom is found in Christ. As we celebrate the blessings of our country, we remember that Jesus sets us free from sin, guilt, and separation from God.

Matthew 25:14–30 reminds us that God gives His people good gifts to use in love. We don’t use them to earn His love — we use them because Jesus has already loved us, forgiven us, and made us His own.

Matthew 7:24–27 reminds us that our lives need a foundation that will never fail. Jesus is our Rock, and when our lives are built on Him, we are held by the One who never shifts and never lets us go.

Luke 12:16–21 reminds us that the stuff we store up cannot last forever and cannot save us. But Jesus gives His people what does last — forgiveness, life, and salvation through Him.

Matthew 25:1–13 reminds us that just like a lamp needs oil, faith needs to be fed. Jesus keeps His people trusting in Him through His Word, His promises, and the forgiveness He freely gives.

Luke 12:35-40 reminds us to wait with hope—because Jesus is coming again, and He has already made us His own.

Matthew 20:1–16 reminds us that salvation is not something we earn by being “better” than everybody else—it is a gift of grace through Jesus.

As life feels tiring, distracting, and overwhelming at times, Hebrews 12:1-2 remind us that endurance is found not in ourselves, but in Jesus—the One who has already finished the race for us.

Romans 1:16 reminds us that the gospel is the power of God for salvation — a message too good to keep to ourselves. Featuring special guest Jennie Williamson, focusing on sharing that good news through word and song!

Matthew 18:21–35 tells a story about a debt that could never be paid… but was completely forgiven. And it helps us see what Jesus has done for you.

Luke 10:29 asks, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus answers that question with a story…but it shows us something even greater—the One who didn’t pass you by, but came to save you.

What happens when everything good is broken by a lie? A Tale of Two Princes tells a story of a kind king, a deceiver, and a world that turns upside down…But it doesn’t end there. This story helps us see the Gospel—and the true Prince who came to rescue us. Check out the story, "A Tale of Two Princes" by Eckart Zur Nieden: bit.ly/ReadIt-TwoPrinces

He is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive. Sin, death, and the devil are defeated! Your sin is gone… and you are His.
