  • Commandments 9-10 (& Conclusion)

    In this final episode of the Lenten series, the ninth and tenth Commandments are explored through the lens of truth and coveting. These Commandments guide us in standing against, not only falsehoods, but also against jealousy and discontentment.

    • False Witness (00:01:32)
      • The Ninth Commandment forbids bearing false witness or lying.
      • Beyond literal falsehoods, it also condemns actions that harm or detract from others.
      • Witness for Truth (00:09:01)
        • Christians are called to be truthful and to speak up for what is right.
        • We must use truth to build up and encourage, rather than to tear down.
        • Undue Silence (00:17:11)
          • Failing to speak out against wrongdoing is also a form of false witness.
          • We must have courage to stand up for truth, even when it is difficult.
          • Coveting (00:28:47)
            • The Tenth Commandment prohibits coveting or desiring what belongs to others.
            • Coveting leads to discontentment and can destroy relationships.
            • Relationship with Jesus Transforms the Commandments (00:43:45)
              • When we come to the Commandments through a relationship with Jesus, they become a guide for our character.
              • The spirit of the Commandments is to promote love, life, and justice.
              • Feel free to share this with anyone who you think might be interested in growing deeper in their faith and Christian discipleship.
