Do Not Steal
5d 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
2w ago00:38:20Tap 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
3w ago00:36:22Tap 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
4w ago00:30:26Tap 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.

Do Not Take God’s Name in Vain
Apr 2600:31:24Tap to summarizeNames are so incredible because they carry identity, history, and meaning, and God’s revealed name is a declaration of who He truly is. The third commandment isn’t just about avoiding misuse of God’s name in speech, but about how we “carry” His name in every part of our lives as people who belong to Him. As those who have taken on God’s name through relationship with Him, we are called to honor it fully with our words, our hearts, and our actions.

No Idols
Apr 1900:36:26Tap to summarizeGod is committed to making you into a breathtakingly beautiful being. But in order for Him to fully do that, you must give yourself completely over to Him. This holy submission will require each of us to submit our ideas of who God is to His revealed nature in Scripture. When we worship the real God—not a substitute–we don’t lose anything… We gain everything!
