Guest speaker Gina Lehrmann leads the class this week in discussing the Eighth Commandment, how we may discern what is gossip, how we may THINK before we speak, and how we may help guide others into not bearing false witness.

The Bible commands us not to steal. What are some ways theft is possible? What may some consider stealing, while others may not? Pastor Otte and the class discuss the Seventh Commandment and more on this week's episode.

Due to popular demand, Pastor Otte provides bonus material of what marriage for God's beloved looks like, what "to submit" means, how wives submit themselves to their husbands as the Church submits to Christ, and how husbands love and give themselves up for their wives as Christ loved and died for the Church.

We conclude our discussion on the 6th Commandment by examining what Jesus had to say not about the subject of divorce, but the subject of marriage. The class also discusses the topic of when a christian divorces, and what may result from that situation.

Pastor Otte and the Upper Room Bible Class continue to unpack the Sixth Commandment by discussing the modern cultural practice of couples living together before marriage, how pastors may treat the situation should the couple want to get married, and how the saturation of the pornography industry may tempt people into "virtual adultery".

Two thoughtful, provoking, and honest questions spark a deep discussion within Messiah's Upper Room Bible Class as we continue our deep dive through the Sixth Commandment.
