The realisation that contemporary society shows many alarming signs of having turned its back on God gave J.John the desire to reach out to people in a new and engaging way. In January 2000, J.John began presenting a new series of area-wide, inter-church missions in towns and cities across the UK, based on the ten commandments. But unlike the do’s and don’ts most people imagine when quizzed about the Maker’s instructions, the message was to be both a challenge and an encouragement. ‘Thou shalt not steal’ is entitled ‘prosper with a clear conscience’ and ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’ is unpacked as ‘affair-proof your relationships'.
‘These DVDs were filmed in London and the North-East of England, the latter in front of live audiences of more than 5,000.’
They are best used over a ten-week period, showing one episode each week starting with commandment ten – ‘find contentment’, working down to number one - ‘live by priorities’ on the last week. Each includes J.John’s brief welcome followed by a 3-4 minute film that introduces the subject of each commandment. After this, during most ‘live events’ an interview takes place where individuals get to tell their story which, in some personal way, related to the commandment. If you use this resource in a church setting, you might consider a similar live interview with local people. One or two of these interviews have been included in some weeks which will give you a good idea of how they work. Next comes the main part of the episode where J.John presents the topic in greater detail.
Included in this pack is a study guide which can be used in conjunction with the series. It probably works best in a group setting but will also prove helpful when followed individually.
J.John presents the commandments in a positive light, showing that far from being a set of rules to restrict us, they are the key to finding freedom in life.
