- Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery (Exodus 20:14)
”You have committed adultery with her already in your heart.”
In an age which overflowing with immorality, how and why must the Christian respond? If lust is such a powerful and ruinous sin, how can the Christian possibly overcome it? In this sermon, Ps Paul reveals the real reason why God cares so deeply about the exclusivity of the marriage bond, the precise meaning of the 7th Commandment, and 3 practical, biblical strategies you need to be employing to win the victory over lust.📄 Follow along with this sermon's transcript: https://www.bethelbpc.com.au/sermon-database/thou-shalt-not-commit-adultery📍 Sermon Outline00:00 Trailer01:53 Introduction02:46 I.

Your own heart is betraying you. Why? How?
Today’s sermon explains SIN: Why do we sin? Where does it come from? How does it work as a process? What does it result in? What practical steps does the Bible prescribe for remedying temptation? Grasped correctly, this truth humbles and drives us to the only One who can save us from ourselves.📍 Sermon Outline

51 min - Thou Shalt Not Kill (Exodus 20:13)
Why does God see you as a murderer? God sees human life as sacred; so sacred that both physical and non-physical acts of violence are seen as attacks on the life He gives and sustains. This has personal and institutional implications for how we treat human life, many of which Pastor Paul deals with in this sermon.
Ultimately, in Jesus’ summary of the Mosaic Law, He stresses this truth in the positive, that His disciples must love their neighbours as themselves. And so we are called to everything we can to preserve the sanctity of human life. But what does this look like?

45 min - Remember the Resurrection (2 Timothy 2:8)
How does Christ want us to remember His resurrection?
Despite this increasingly secular age, we still gather together to remember the resurrection. Why do Christians remember the resurrection despite the backlash from the world? How does remembering the resurrection affect our lives?This sermon was preached by Rev Samuel Joseph from True Life Bible-Presbyterian Church (Singapore).📍 Sermon Outline

What is the paradox of the crucifixion? Jesus’ death on a cross looks like a failure. Why do Christians believe that His suffering somehow fits into God’s plan? How did all the evil forces against Him, culminate in Him saving us from our sins? And if this really happened, how then do you and I receive this gift of salvation? This is the message of all messages that you need to hear. It’s no coincidence that you are reading this.

How should Christians regard wealth?
Rarely does a man's greatest desire go beyond acquiring wealth or enjoying prosperity - everybody wants to be rich, and nobody wants to be poor. But is this goal truly biblical? Could it be that we’ve misinterpreted our spiritual situation by focusing too much on the financial? How does God view us in our poverty or wealth?James 1:9-12 teaches an unpopular truth about wealth that most Christians are oblivious to.📍 Sermon Outline

41 min - Thou Shalt Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother (Exodus 20:12)
Why was stubbornness and a refusal to listen to one's parents punishable by death in the Old Testament?
As with many other historically gross sins, society has come to celebrate a spirit of rebellion under the guise of bravery and ingenuity. Is what some call an “inevitable phase of growing up”, really that? Is it merely a physiological phenomenon, or is it a spiritual malady, healed only by a spiritual power?
And why, of all the Ten Commandments, does this commandment have a promise attached to it?

52 min - Thou Shalt Keep The Sabbath Day (Exodus 20:8-11)
Does “keeping the Lord’s Day holy” only mean going to church? This is another polarising topic in Christianity today. In this sermon, Pastor Paul cuts through both sides of the spectrum (man-made rigidity VS antinomianism) to deliver the keys to truly understanding the purpose of the Christian Sabbath.
Does the Sabbath principle still apply today? If so, why is it held on Sundays? What should and shouldn’t a Christian do on the Lord’s Day? What’s the right way to think about keeping the Lord’s Day holy? Which parts of this commandment do Christians constantly forget about?📄 Follow along with this sermon's transcript: https://www.bethelbpc.com.au/sermon-database/thou-shalt-keep-the-sabbath-day📍 Sermon Outline00:00 Trailer00:51 Introduction03:50 I.

Why do bad things happen to good people? In this sermon, Pastor Paul reveals the divine principle always at work in our lives; the blueprint we’re oblivious to while we ponder: “Why is God letting me suffer?”
In James 1:1-4, the Apostle singles out “patience” as the preeminent virtue obtained by passing God’s tests. He goes further to say that patience holds the power to make you “perfect”. What kind of patience is he talking about and how can it possibly perfect us?

48 min - Thou Shalt Not Dishonour God’s Name (Exodus 20:7)
Why does the 3rd Commandment have a double warning? In Ephesians 4:1, the Apostle Paul exhorted the believers to “walk worthy” of their calling from God. Where did he get that idea from? One place he might’ve drawn inspiration from is the third of the Ten Commandments.
Like the rest of its counterparts, this commandment entails much more than refraining from casually using ‘OMG’ in our speech. Obeyed correctly, it may alter the course of a conscientious believer’s life. Listen on to find out how
