Coveting

We finish off this series by looking at the command that goes after the motives behind what we do. The command to not covet isn't about our conduct but our hearts, which God is most interested in and has been from the very beginning.

Stealing

Stealing

Studies show that a high majority of people feel they have completely satisfied God's command against stealing. This sermon looks at the many ways people steal in the Bible and why none of us stand innocent. It closes with the reminder that we all need something from God that only He can provide - it can't be earned, it can't even be stolen, it must be given.

Idolatry

The First Commandment forbids us from worshipping false gods; the Second Commandment forbids us from worshipping the true God falsely. The Second Commandment raises lots of questions: What’s wrong with making images of God - especially if it seems like they might aid our worship? Why does God give this command?

No Other Gods

In this kick off message to a summer series on the Ten Commandments we begin by asking whether we should study the Ten Commandments at all. Are Christians obligated to follow commands from the Old Testament? We then look specifically at the first command to have no other gods before God Himself and what that means for us today.
