A Life of Faith
5d ago00:36:04Tap to summarizePersecution can cause anyone to question and even doubt their deeply held beliefs. But, according to Peter, questioning and doubting can be a sort of refining furnace for one’s faith. For anyone who places their faith in Jesus, the fire, though unwelcome, can produce a more genuine article. A life of faith must be tested, yet this is not a bad thing; it is essential to the believer's growth.

Do Not Covet
2w ago00:38:54Tap to summarizeThe final commandment in the Big Ten might be the most silent sin. It has been said that it is also the least confessed sin of them all. You shall not covet. What makes this commandment so important is that it is a sin of the heart. How we hold what we see. And whether we are willing to acknowledge it or not, it is something that we all struggle with.

Do Not Bear False Witness
3w ago00:31:41Tap to summarizeWe’ve all heard the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” But that’s not true, words do hurt. They matter and leave a lasting impact in the lives of those around us. In a world where gossip spreads quickly, half-truths feel normal, and people are paid to tear others down. God’s command in Exodus 20:16 reminds us that truth still matters. Join us as we explore how our speech can either bring healing or cause harm. To follow Jesus is to walk in truth even when it costs us something. May we be people who speak life, use our words as a protection, and encourage others with the truth found in Jesus.

Do Not Steal
4w ago00:40:44Tap to summarizeWe shouldn’t be surprised that God is just. The Lord values things being done well and in an honest and equitable way. It might surprise us that God wants us to honor personal property. He invites us to own things and asks that we respect each other’s things. That is the heart of the commandment not to steal. But there is still much for us to unpack on this powerful commandment.

No Adultery
May 2400:38:20Tap to summarizeEverything we're tempted with has a life cycle. We perceive something, we dwell on it, and eventually, we act on it. Adultery is no different. It has a beginning, middle, and end, and Jesus shows us that it is as much a matter of the heart as it is a harmful act. But this command is not only a warning. It is also an invitation into deep, undivided faithfulness, the kind of faithfulness God has already shown to us.

Do Not Murder
May 1700:36:22Tap to summarizeOftentimes, we take for granted things that seem obvious to us. As we are now looking at the second tablet of the Ten Commandments, we see how the Lord wants society to be ordered. Many of these commandments seem obvious to us but they teach us some very important things about God and about ourselves.

People of Honor
May 1000:30:26Tap to summarizeHonor. A word and concept we often hear–but it can feel heavy, complicated, or even be misunderstood. Yet, the Bible shows us that God has a lot to say about how we honor and care for one another. As we continue in The Law of the Heart series, we’ll see the commandments begin to shift from our relationship with God into our relationships with others. Join us as we explore what it means to live as people of honor, how honor starts at home, and how choosing honor in all relationships helps to form us into the likeness of Jesus.

Keep the Sabbath Holy
May 300:39:35Tap to summarizeEveryone knows that rest is needed for survival. God created humans to rest every single day. It may seem like an inefficient use of our time, but most people use at least one-fourth of every day for rest. But what about finding rest in your waking hours? That is a different story. Our culture is littered with issues from a lack of rest in our hearts and souls. We hear about burnout, stress, and all sorts of other very real maladies. Yet, our Lord knew the human capacity for self-sabotage. Within God’s law, God instituted the sabbath as a way to help His people find rest in Him. The Lord Himself modeled this rest on the seventh day of creation. Join us this weekend as we explore the commandment to keep the sabbath holy.
