Sermon Summary:

This sermon explores the final commandment against coveting and delves into the deeper issue of seeking contentment and worth outside of God. It emphasizes that true peace and satisfaction come from understanding our identity as adopted children of God, rather than comparing ourselves to others or seeking fulfillment in material possessions or achievements.

Key Points:

  • Coveting is desiring something that's not ours, leading to discontentment
  • Comparison with others fuels coveting and robs us of peace
  • Our broken relationship with God creates a core insecurity that nothing worldly can satisfy
  • Through Christ, God redeems us and adopts us as His children
  • We should look to God's view of us for our sense of worth, not others' opinions
  • Understanding our adoption by God leads to contentment and peace

    • Exodus 20:17 (The tenth commandment against coveting)
    • Galatians 4:4-6 (God's adoption of believers through Christ)
