We've said throughout this sermon series that God's law is an expression of his love to bring us freedom. But freedom from what? And for what? This Sunday we wrap up our series on the 10 Commandments considering them as a whole. We'll see how God's law frees us to love Him and love one another.
In a season when many resolve and desire for more, God's word for us this week is to consider the danger of coveting and the freedom of contentment. This Sunday we'll conclude our sermon series in the 10 Commandments from this past fall with the final word: You shall not covet.
The ninth commandment shows us impact of our words in loving our neighbors. We are charged in the previous commandments not to take our neighbor's life, wife, or property. The ninth command tells us not to take our neighbor's reputation—to honor those around us with truthful words. We'll see on Sunday how we can be faithful, not false, witnesses in all of our lives.
Today is Black Friday, a day to "get a steal" or a good bargain. But in God's eyes stealing is never a bargain. Few people would admit to violating the 8th Commandment in a significant way. And yet we'll see this Sunday not only what so many of us often steal, but why we do it, and finally who our treasure is for anyway.
We dive back into our sermon series on the 10 Commandments this Sunday. We'll see why faithfulness in marriage is so crucial to the health and holiness not just of individuals but of the entire community of God's people, whether married or not.
"You shall not murder." Well that's pretty simple and easy, check! Finally we come to one of the 10 commandments that we don't have to worry about. Right? Not so fast. Sunday we'll see how these four little words have vast application not only to our world but also to our own hearts.
The 10 commandments cover some pretty important topics: worship and idolatry, killing and stealing, adultery and lying. But why does God uses one of the "big ten" to tell us to listen to Mom and Dad? Of course it seems good to do that, but why is it such a big deal? We'll explore this on Sunday as we dive back into our How Free People Live sermon series.
It's healthy to take a day off from work and to take a vacation once in a while, too. And yet, God uses one of his famous 10 Commandments to require his people to rest, every week. As we study the 4th Commandment this Sunday, we'll see the significant spiritual reason why God commands you to rest.
Why does God care so much about how we use his name? As Shakespeare writes in Romeo and Juliet, "What's in a name?" More than we first think. This week we continue in our sermon series with the Third Commandment: "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God."
In the second commandment this Sunday, we'll see that God is not only concerned about who we worship but how we worship. The way we worship the Lord matters!
This Sunday, we begin a sermon series on the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17). When most people think of God's rules or his law, they think of something that limits them in the least or oppresses them at worst. But as we'll see beginning even this week, the Ten Commandments were written so that we would live in freedom.
