The commandment that prohibits adultery is usually where people either keep God out of their private lives or prevent Him from getting too close because of pain or shame. But if the commandments are windows into God's character and our calling, then we need to look more closely at why this commandment exists. Pastor Glenn Packiam explains how sex is more powerful and sacred than we realize, and how we are tempted toward adultery when we make an idol of our marriage, our spouse, or of sex itself. With the warning of God's truth comes the welcome of God's grace as we place our trust not in our faithfulness but in the faithfulness of Christ.

Honor your father and mother. The command seems straight forward, right? In this sermon, Pastor Jason Jackson challenges us to reconsider the text's primary audience and to consider the text's primary assumption in order to call us to embody what the Fifth Commandment values in our relationships and in ourselves.
