In this convicting message from the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Chris Chadwick dives into the Eighth Commandment: "Thou shalt not steal". Through powerful expositional preaching, this sermon expands the definition of theft far beyond grand theft to include subtle, culturally accepted sins like petty theft, defrauding employees, service theft, gambling, and withholding the tithe from God. We're reminded that by sanctioning private property, God commands honesty and hard work, and that stealing, in any form, violates God's law for redeemed people.
