Elements of Faith
Jun 2100:36:04Tap 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
Jun 1400:38:54Tap 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
Jun 700:31:41Tap 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
May 3100:40:44Tap 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.
