Here we consider the 8th command, “you shall not steal,” and how it is grounded in our calling to bear God’s generous image.
The sixth command, “you shall not murder,” can feel remote to people who have never contemplated killing another human being. The Word, however, not only proscribes acts of murder, but common root-sins from which they grow. As well, God wills that we positively respect, defend, and promote human life. Tonight we'll consider how all of this is based on God's love and lordship over life.

Did you know, Scripture not only permits swearing on certain occasions but actually instructs believers to take oaths in God’s name? Come learn why this Law was given, how it functions in daily life, and ways it connects to faith in Christ.
What does it mean to take the Lord’s name in vain? As we’ll see, it means treating everything it signifies as empty, imaginary, and worthless. Tonight, the Spirit will lead us to hallow God’s Name with greater fear and reverence.
In this sermon, we examine the Lord's command not to make graven images. Just how far does it extend, and why? We will also explore and rejoice in certain pictures God has provided to help us see and experience his goodness in Christ.
