Digital Booklet - The Ten Commandments

In this final teaching from the 10 Commandments, Pastor Gary Hamrick examines the word "covet" and what it means to "desire enviously that which belongs to another." If covetousness is like a tree, then there are generally 5 roots that nourish it: envy, jealousy, greed, lust, and discontentment. Join us for today's Bible study as we ask the Lord to help us put an ax to the root of covetousness.

Is it ever OK to tell a lie? What if it's one of those little "white lies" to protect someone's feelings? The 9th Commandment is a call to TRUTHFULNESS. God is the "God of truth" (Psalm 31:5) and "it is impossible for Him to lie" (Heb. 6:18). Therefore, God wants His children to walk in similar honesty and truthfulness. We invite you to open your Bible to Exodus 20:16 for our continuing study in the 10 Commandments with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

God has established the rights of individuals to possess property and to be stewards (managers) of all that God owns. When people steal, they not only sin against the one who possess the property, but they also sin against the One who loaned it in the first place, namely-God. Besides the obvious "taking" what doesn't belong to you, have you ever considered the MANY ways that we "steal" from one another? Join Pastor Gary Hamrick for today's study of the 8th Commandment.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 92% of Americans think that adultery is "morally wrong." And yet, not as many people practice what they believe. God values marriage and ordained it as a loving, lasting, binding, holy, life-long covenant between a man and a woman. Adultery violates this sacred bond and leaves countless lives devastated in its aftermath. Still, there is forgiveness and grace for those who have fallen. In today's study, Pastor Gary Hamrick offers 3 things we can do to honor the 7th Commandment.

In today's study from Exodus 20:13, Pastor Gary Hamrick examines Commandment #6 "You shall not murder." What is the difference between killing someone and murdering someone? What are the ethical issues facing our society today about death and dying? Take your Bible and join us for this continuing study through the 10 Commandments.

God defined the family as the foundation of a healthy society. And He calls children in each family to honor, respect, and obey their parents so that they might grow up to be respectful citizens who honor God and others. Unfortunately, some parents are not instilling these virtues in their children, and therefore the next generation is growing up largely devoid of these qualities. Join us today as Pastor Gary Hamrick teaches Commandment #5 from Exodus 20:12.

God implemented a Sabbath rest for our benefit and for His honor. In today's study of Commandment #4, Pastor Gary Hamrick looks at some of the historical, traditional, and biblical views of the "Sabbath". We will examine the Practice, Purpose, and Principle of the Sabbath from Exodus 20:8-11.

God reveals Himself in the Bible by more than 350 names and titles besides His proper name, Yahweh. He does this to express the vastness of His character and nature. Thus, when we misuse God's Name (or "take it in vain"), we malign, dishonor, and disrespect the character and nature of God. Pastor Gary Hamrick shares three common ways we might be guilty of breaking the 3rd Commandment in today's study from Exodus 20:7.

The 2nd Commandment is a prohibition against creating something with your hands or your heart that either reduces God or replaces God. In this study, Pastor Gary takes a look at how Israel was guilty of breaking this commandment, and how modern forms of idolatry still exist today.
