Sermon from November 8th


The Ten Commandments

8. You Shall Not Steal
9. You Shall Not Give False Testimony...
10. You Shall Not Covet

Exodus 20: 1 - 17

1. We see a progression in God's Laws: They deal with your God, your parents, your life, your family and now your personal property, your reputation, and your heart.
2. God understands the importance of owning and keeping our own possessions. Matthew 6:20
3. Paul said no Christian should be a thief, but should work so he can help others. Ephesians 4:28
4. Giving false testimony is lying to hurt someone.
5. Coveting is a matter of the heart. It means we envy others for what they have. We have already stolen from them in our hearts.
6. Paul said these Commandments can be summed up by the command "Love your neighbor as yourself" Romans 13:6, Leviticus 19:18
7. Jesus did too. Matthew 22:37 - 40

I wish more people, especially in the non-Christian American culture, would see the practical applications of the Big 10.
