Sermon by Brandon Clements on October 31, 2021.
In the eighth commandment, we see the call to not steal is also a call towards generosity. Because God has given abundantly to us, we in turn can give abundantly to others.

In the seventh commandment, we see that Jesus is ultimately after our hearts. He commands us to not commit adultery, but also to not do anything that might distort God’s covenant love towards us. Our call then is to love our spouse because it says something about God’s character.

Because God made human beings in His image, all human life has tremendous dignity, value and worth. In light of the sixth commandment then, our call as followers of Jesus then is not just to “do not murder” but to protect life no matter what it costs us.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on October 10, 2021.
Learning how to submit to authority and be a part of a group bigger than us is for our good, and the nuclear family is one such structure God put in place to teach us to respect authority. Honoring our parents becomes the “training wheels” to learn how to honor those over us, and most especially, helps us learn how to honor God.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on October 3, 2021.
Through commandment four, God gives us a picture of His holiness, and a reminder that we can’t save ourselves: The Sabbath. The Sabbath is our call to stop once a week, to rest, and enjoy God. While we often think this is good for our own health, this commandment holds a communal aspect to it. Individuals keeping the Sabbath is for the good and the health of the group.

The way we think about and speak about God is designed to reflect His holiness and defaming Him through our speech brings harm. Yet for many modern people, it’s probably fascinating that this would be one of the 10 most important commands. Commandment three is but another reminder that God takes His holiness and His name seriously.

This week we look at the second commandment, “You shall not make images of God.” Now to our modern ears, this command sounds strange. However, in Deuteronomy 5, Romans 1, and Colossians 1, we see “image making” as describing something universal to the human condition. Ultimately, we need a better image of God and His name is Jesus.

The Israelites spent 430 years in circumstances that normalized the worship and service of different gods. This week we’ll look at the first commandment in Deuteronomy 5 where God gives His people a marker to look back and show them that He is the one true God. No one and no thing come before Him.

Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 5, 2021.
Last week, we introduced a concept called moral foundations theory. It argues that different cultures base their sense of right and wrong through five different moral categories. This week, we'll look at Hebrews 3-4 to see exactly what happens when we forget God’s view of morality and look to ourselves or our culture to determine what’s right and what’s wrong.

Have you ever encountered people who think differently than you and thought they were so incredibly wrong? Do you know of other Christians with opposed political views to yours and wondered how you’ll ever get along with them? Have you ever read the Bible and and thought, “Hold up! How is this okay?” In this week’s sermon, we’ll look at Romans 2:14-16 to unpack the issue of morality, conscience, and ultimately how God’s Spirit and God’s Word lead us into truth.
