To help both you and your people to discern God's commands for today, make up a list of Jesus' commands, apostolic commands, Old Testament commands, and some non-biblical rules of men. Then ask people to mark each command with a J for Jesus, A for apostles, O for Old Testament, and an X for non-biblical. Then give them the correct answers and let them see how many they got right.

Some examples:

J Forgive 70 times seven times.
A Women must wear a head covering.
O Bring your tithes to the storehouse.
X Be sure you're right, then go ahead.
O Stone people to death who work on Saturday.
