The Sin Nobody Sees, Part 1 of 3 (The Ten Commandments)

August 19, 2020

There’s something in all of us that wants what others have. But no matter how many possessions we acquire, we can’t take them with us after we die. And this should change our perspective today. The sin of coveting is what God addresses in the last of the Ten Commandments.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

You can’t win in the race of life when you don’t tell the truth. God made it plain in commandment number nine: do not bear false witness. Whether it’s a “little white lie” or an elaborate deception, any falsehood breaks this commandment. In this message we find out why lying is so prevalent, and so destructive.

A holy life requires honesty—telling the truth. As we explore the ninth of the Ten Commandments, we’ll see why this sin is so prevalent, and so destructive. Imagine you’re in court. Will you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Many people frequently exaggerate, brag, or slander. For some, telling a “white lie” is okay. But it’s not okay with God. If what comes out of our mouth is inconsistent with how we live, then we are liars. Lying violates the ninth commandment in the Bible, and God values integrity. Do you always tell the truth?

Theft is theft, whether large or small. It can be obvious theft, such as robbery; but it can also be hidden theft, such as tax fraud, stealing time, or even not paying back a loan. In this message on the eighth commandment, we consider how when we steal, we steal from God.

Whether we steal office supplies, or an employer’s time, stealing violates a prime directive from God. The eighth commandment tells us to respect the property rights of others. God takes note when we fail to do so. In this message we learn more about the eighth commandment.

Stealing is on the rise as people say, “what’s yours is mine.” It’s more than burglary. People steal from their employers with hardly a second thought. We forget that stealing of any kind violates one of the Ten Commandments.

It’s dangerous to get too close to a fire. And it’s also dangerous to get close to a possible sexual sin. That’s why the seventh commandment teaches us to avoid all forms of such sin. Obedience to God’s command results in a life free of entanglements that can stop us in our tracks.

Television and movies teach us that sensuality of all kinds is normal. But God’s message is one of sexual restraint—and He plainly prohibits adultery in the Ten Commandments. The consequences of seeking sexual fulfillment outside of marriage can never be avoided. Even if it remains a secret, inner defilement will take hold.
August 7, 2020
Each of us has a strong desire for intimacy. But keeping our sex drives under control is one of our biggest challenges. Sex in its proper place is a great gift, while passions out of control can ruin our future. In this message we learn about the high price of adultery.
August 6, 2020
God’s plan for a stable society involves each of us caring for our children, and then our parents as they age. This results in tight family bonds that stand the test of time. In this message we take a final look at one of the Ten Commandments, one designed for our good.
