Stealing isn't just about taking physical objects, but can manifest in various forms in our lives and reflects a lack of honor—both for others and for God. Through kingdom culture, we are invited to live as 'givers' rather than 'takers,' reflecting God's character. It's a call to trust in God's provision and to close any 'footholds' we may have left open for the enemy in our lives. In this Sunday's Manhattan message, David Chan invites us to examine areas where we might be 'stealing' from God, whether through our time, talents, or resources, and to recommit to a life of integrity and trust in God's abundance.

In our exploration of the commandment 'You shall not steal,' we uncover profound truths about God's value for us and our neighbors. This seemingly simple directive opens up a world of spiritual insight, challenging us to examine our hearts and actions in light of God's love. We're reminded that stealing isn't just about taking physical possessions, but can extend to time, ideas, and even our relationship with God. In this Sunday's Brooklyn message, Pastor Kevin Myers invites us to consider: Are we living as stewards of God's gifts or grasping at what we think we deserve?

How do we deal with temptation when it comes our way? In the Bible, we see that Jesus was tempted in every way, but never fell into sin itself. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter provides eight steps on how to address temptation.

Through the seventh commandment Jesus raises the bar, teaching us that sin begins in the heart, not just in our actions.Our sexual desires, while not inherently bad, were designed by God for the sacred covenant of marriage. Are we treating these gifts with the reverence they deserve, or have we fallen into a consumer mindset? In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Luis Guerrero calls us to take radical steps towards purity and holiness, not out of shame, but out of a desire for true freedom in Christ.

There is profound significance in covenant relationships and God's design for human sexuality. In Genesis, we see how men and women were created to reflect God's image together and rule side by side. When sin enteres the scene and disrupts this harmony, it leads to power imbalances and the exploitation of one another. The seventh commandment is a challenge to examine our hearts, recognizing that lust goes beyond physical acts to include how we regard others in our minds. In this week's Sunday message in Brooklyn, Pastor Amy Perez invites us to consider how we can honor God's design for sexuality and relationships in our own lives, whether married or single.

In Philippians 2, Paul refers to putting on the mind of Christ and the humility that comes with it. When we trust in circumstances or mountain top expereinces, it can easily try to exalt us instead of bringing us low into humility. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives practical tips and examples on how humility can form us more into the image of Christ.

In exploring the sixth commandment, 'You shall not murder,' we uncover a profound truth: we all have a 'killer heart.' This commandment goes far beyond physical murder, addressing the roots of anger, hatred, and devaluation of human life. Jesus expands on this in Matthew 5, equating anger and insults with murder in God's eyes. The core of this command is clear: all human life is sacred, bearing God's image. We're called to be life-givers, not life-takers, in every aspect of our lives. In this week's Sunday Manhattan message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter invites us to value others as God does, bringing life and peace to our relationships, workplaces, and communities.

In this powerful exploration of the sixth commandment, 'You shall not murder,' we're challenged to look beyond the literal act and into the depths of our hearts. The story of Cain and Abel serves as a stark reminder that violence begins in our thoughts and emotions long before it manifests in our actions. By learning to investigate our anger, we can address its root causes and respond in ways that honor both ourselves and others as image-bearers of God. In this week's Sunday Brooklyn message, Pastor Amy Perez invites us to a deeper level of self-awareness and spiritual growth, challenging us to be 'our brother's keeper' in every interaction.

The fifth commandment is not just about obedience, but about shaping our entire approach to relationships and authority. The Ten Commandments offers a guide to shift from a modern, individualistic mindset to one that values responsibility, legacy, and respect for divinely-appointed authority. In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter encourages us that honoring our parents, even when it's difficult, is a pathway to personal growth, societal stability, and spiritual maturity. It's a call to reflect on how our family dynamics shape our broader worldview and our relationship with God.

In this Leadership Lesson, Pastor Luis Guerrero hosts a conversation with Pastor Kevin Myers and Steph Rivas on how to practically apply the fourth commandment of Sabbath to our modern context.
