Have you ever had someone tell a lie about you? When God gave Israel his top 10 rules for their flourishing, number 9 was a command to not lie about each other. But why did God care so much about what we say about others? In this message, we’ll consider the significance of this command, how it changed the whole course of history, and how it impacts you and me today.

Stealing isn’t always about robbing banks—it can show up in our words, our workplace, our relationships, and even in the small compromises we think don’t matter. In this message from our Written in Stone series, we’ll discover how a lack of contentment, trust, and faithfulness can lead to theft in big and small ways. Learn how to quit stealing, work with integrity, and live generously—reflecting the heart of the One who gave everything for us.

Honoring your parents isn’t just a command for kids. This is a command for all of us, no matter our age. In this message, we’ll learn that honoring our parents means that we love them by obeying them and showing them respect and gratitude, even when it’s hard.

When it comes to the topic of sex and marriage, we are often deceived by what culture says rather than what God says. In one of the 10 commandments, God reminds us of the value of faithfulness to our spouse and him. Do not commit adultery is often viewed as just a physical command, but it's way deeper than that. It impacts not just our marriages, but our walk with God.

Everyone knows that murder is wrong, so what does the command, “You shall not murder” reveal about God’s heart? We’ll explore Jesus’s surprising teaching on murder, and discover along the way the immeasurable love of God for every person.

Sabbath, as a rule, is over, but Sabbath as a rhythm is powerful! God didn’t suggest rest—He commanded it.  Not because He’s demanding, but because He’s good.  Sabbath isn’t just a break from work.  It’s a weekly declaration: “I’m not God.” Is your refusal to rest actually pride in disguise?

Have you ever met someone who called themselves a Christian, but their life would bring that into question? The behavior of some Christians has turned many away from God and Christianity. God tells His people not to take His name in vain, but what does that mean? In this message, we’ll dive into why the 3rd of the 10 commandments has much more to say about how we live than just what we say.

 We often create false images of God which we place our faith and trust in. These can be due to our backgrounds, our families, culture, or just because of our sinful nature. But instead, we are called to know the real God, as perfectly revealed in the person of Jesus, and give Him our full trust and faith.

God doesn’t just want part of you—He wants to be first. We say we worship God, but our time, energy, money, and joy often say otherwise. Even good things can become gods.  Jesus isn’t asking for a place in your life. He’s asking for the throne. If someone watched your life this week—who would they say your god really is?

There is a war raging against us that many are unaware of. We may not see the battle, but we are casualties of the battle. The enemy is on the hunt for our families, our friendships, our faith, and ultimately our hearts. It is one thing to be aware of the battle, it’s another thing to win the battle. In this message, we’ll dive into God’s Word and the example of Jesus to learn how we can win the ultimate battle.
