CATECHISM READING- LORD’S Day 44
Q&A 113
Q What is God's will for you in the tenth commandment?
A That not even the slightest thought or desire contrary to any one of God's
commandments should ever arise in my heart. Rather, with all my heart I should always
hate sin and take pleasure in whatever is right.

Q&A 114
Q But can those converted to God obey these commandments perfectly?
A No. In this life even the holiest have only a small beginning of this obedience.
Nevertheless, with all seriousness of purpose, they do begin to live according to all, not
only some, of God’s commandments.

Q&A 115
Q No one in this life can obey the Ten Commandments perfectly: why then does God
want them preached so pointedly?
A First, so that we may come to know our sinfulness and look to Christ for forgiveness of
sins and righteousness. Second, so that, we may never stop striving to be renewed
more and more after God's image.

Q. What is God's will for us in the seventh commandment?
A. God condemns all unchasity. We should therefore thoroughly detest it and,

Q&A 109
Q. Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery?

A. We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and God wants both to be
kept clean and holy. That is why He forbids everything which incites unchastity,
whether it be actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires.

CATECHISM READING- LORD’S Day 40

Q&A 105
Q What is God's will for you in the sixth commandment?
A I am not to belittle, insult, hate, or kill my neighbor - not by my thoughts, my
words, my look or gesture, and certainly not by actual deeds - I am not to harm
or recklessly endanger myself either.

Q&A 106
Q Does this commandment refer only to killing?
A By forbidding murder God teaches us that He hates the root of murder: envy,
hatred, anger, vindictiveness. In God’s sight all such are murder.

Q&A 107
Q Is it enough then that we do not kill our neighbor in any such way?
A No. God tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves to be patient, peace-loving,
gentle, merciful, and friendly to him, to protect him from harm as much as we
can, and to do good even to our enemies.

A That we neither blaspheme nor misuse the name of God by cursing, perjury, or
unnecessary oaths, nor share in such horrible sins by being silent bystanders. In
a word, it requires that we use the holy name of God only with reverence and
awe.

Q&A 100
Q Is blasphemy of God's name by swearing and cursing really such serious sin
that God is angry also with those who do not do all they can to help prevent it

blaspheming His name. That is why He commanded the death penalty for it.

may be portrayed, yet God forbids making or having such images if one's
intention is to worship them or to serve God through them.

Q&A 98
Q But may not images be permitted in the churches as teaching aids for the
unlearned?

CATECHISM READING- LORD’S Day 34

Q&A 92
Q What does the Lord say in his law?
A And God spoke all these words, saying:
1. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them;
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work:
5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land
which the LORD your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.

Q&A 93
Q How are these commandments divided?
A Into two tables. The first has four commandments, teaching us what our relation to God should be. The second has six commandments, teaching us what we owe our neighbor.

Q&A 94
Q What does the Lord require in the first commandment?
A That I avoid and shun all idolatry. That I sincerely acknowledge the only true God, trust Him alone, look to Him for every good thing humbly and patiently, love Him, fear Him, and honor Him with all my heart.

Q&A 95
Q What is idolatry?
A Idolatry is having or inventing something in which one trusts in place of or alongside of the only true God, who has revealed Himself in His Word.

A. It is wholehearted joy in God through Christ and a delight to do every kind of
good as God wants us to.

Q&A 91

He may be praised through us.

Over the past few months, members of our congregation have been the target of what is
called a phishing attack. Phishing is a type of social engineering attack designed to get
access or money. With artificial intelligence being commonplace these attacks are only
going to become more common and sophisticated.

Here is an acronym to help you identify attacks: P.H.I.S.H
P – Pressure / Urgency (“Act now or lose your account!”, “Can you do me a favor?”)
H – Hidden or fake sender (wrong email, phone number, look-alike domain)
I – Impersonation (pretends to be your pastor. bank, boss, Apple, etc.)
S – Suspicious links or attachments
H – Harvests your secrets (passwords, 2FA codes, SSN, gift cards)

Quick Checklist You Can Use Every Time. Ask yourself:
1. Did I expect this message?
2. Is the sender’s email/phone number exactly, correct?
3. Does the link URL match the o icial website when I hover (or type it manually)?
4. Are they asking for passwords or payment over email/text?
5. Is there urgency or a threat?
If the answer to any of the last four is “yes,” it’s almost certainly phishing.

If you do receive an alert that you want to verify, do not follow links that were sent, instead
go to the source directly. For example, if you get an alert from your bank about a suspicious
purchase, do not follow the links in the email or text, instead in a new window or tab go to
your bank’s website and login. If your bank calls you, hang up and call the bank with their
number on their public site.

Q&A 75 
Q. How does the Lord's Supper remind you and assure you that you share in
Christ's one sacrifice on the cross and in all His gifts?
A. First, His body was offered and broken for me and His blood poured out for me on the
cross. Second, He nourishes and refreshes my soul for eternal life with His crucified body
and poured-out blood.

Q&A 76 
Q. What does it mean to eat the crucified body of Christ and to drink His
poured-out blood?
A. It means to accept with a believing heart the entire suffering and death of Christ. But it
means more. Through the Holy Spirit we are united more and more to Christ's blessed
body.

Q&A 77 
Q. Where does Christ promise to nourish and refresh believers with His body
and blood as surely as they eat this broken bread and drink this cup?
A. In the institution of the Lord’s Supper: The Lord Jesus took bread and said, “Take, eat,
this is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way, also
the cup saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink

CATECHISM READING- LORD’S DAY 24
Q&A 62
Q. Why can't the good we do make us right with God, or at least help make us right with Him?
A. Because the righteousness which can pass God's scrutiny must be entirely perfect, even the very best we do in this life is imperfect and stained with sin.

Q&A 63
Q. How can can you say that the good we do doesn't earn anything when God promises to reward it in this life and the next?
A. The reward is not earned; it is a gift of grace.

Q&A 64
Q. But doesn't this teaching make people indifferent and wicked?
A. No, it is impossible for those grafted into Christ through true faith not to produce fruits of gratitude.
