Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

Everything you have ultimately belongs to God, and He calls you to manage His gifts faithfully rather than selfishly. The Eighth Commandment challenges you not only to avoid stealing, but also to reject greed, dishonesty, entitlement, and idleness. Through Christ, you are called to become someone who works honestly, gives generously, and uses what God provides for His glory and the good of others. You can also enjoy His blessings with gratitude, recognizing them as gifts entrusted to your care.

This sermon explores the ninth commandment, urging believers to be people of the truth and to protect their neighbor's reputation. Using biblical examples like Naboth's vineyard and the sin of Ananias and Sapphira, it highlights the severity of bearing false witness and the devil's role in deception. The preacher contrasts this with the character of Christ, who is the embodiment of truth, and warns that lying is an abomination to God. Believers are called to reject slander, gossip, and malicious intent, instead cultivating humility and kindness. Finally, it offers comfort to those suffering false accusations, pointing to Christ's example of entrusting justice to God.

A sermon on the commandment: you shall not steal.

Galatians 5:1–6 sets before the church both a command and a warning: stand fast in the liberty Christ has secured, and do not return to the bondage of law-keeping as a ground of justification. This sermon, the second in the passage, moves from verse 1 into verses 2–6, expositing Paul's argument that to submit to circumcision as a means of acceptance before God is to abandon Christ entirely and to become a debtor to the whole law. The relationship between faith, grace, and the hope of righteousness by the Spirit is brought to bear on the pastoral and doctrinal stakes of the Galatian error. Main points: - the command of liberty reviewed — two imperatives grounded in one indicative (v. 1) - the consequence of circumcision — Christ profits nothing and the whole law is owed (vv. 2–3) - estrangement from Christ and falling from grace — the gravity of seeking justification by law (vv. 4–5) - faith working through love — the true mark of those who wait for righteousness by the Spirit (v. 6) Scripture references: - Galatians 5:1-6 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-galatians-5-the-gospels-precious-liberty-part-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on Psalm 110 as the most significant messianic psalm, using Jesus' question to the Pharisees to prove the Messiah is David's Lord, not merely his son. He expounds verses 1-2, showing that the command to "sit at my right hand" signifies Christ's heavenly enthronement, fulfilled at his ascension and exaltation as cited in Acts and Ephesians. The "until" attached to his reign reveals an inaugurated kingdom—Christ rules from heaven now while enemies persist until final judgment, echoing 1 Corinthians 15 and Hebrews 10. God extends Christ's kingly scepter from Zion through gospel proclamation and Church building (Matthew 16, 28; Acts 2), demonstrating his rule even while Satan and persecuting powers remain active. The practical application is that believers should have joyful optimism and confidence in Christ's current enthronement while expecting opposition as normal. He also calls believers to hope, believing that Psalm 110:1's "until" guarantees that all enemies, including death, will ultimately be vanquished.

This sermon explores the distinction between direct divine promises and natural consequences of obedience found in Proverbs 3. It emphasizes that true wisdom originates from God and serves as a guide for navigating life amidst a culture increasingly hostile to absolute truth. By seeking God's understanding, believers gain internal confidence and external testimony, allowing them to walk safely without stumbling. The message warns against living in fear of sudden calamity or societal collapse, urging reliance on divine stability rather than human institutions. Ultimately, trusting in the Lord provides the confidence and solid footing needed to face future uncertainties with faith.

All men are required to perfectly and perpetually keep the Ten Commandments, but no one is able.
