In this message, we are looking at the second out of ten commands that God gave to Moses. God is very clear how we are not to worship Him through graven images or idols. The context of this command is extremely important to help us understand this command fully. These days in our culture, it rare to see graven images or idols, but Scripture is very clear that we all will struggle with idols of the heart. We are going to look at some questions to help us expose the idols that exist in our hearts.

In this final teaching from the 10 Commandments, Pastor Blair examines the word “covet” and what it means to “desire enviously that which belongs to another.” If covetousness is like a tree, then there are generally five roots that nourish it: envy, jealousy, greed, lust, and discontentment.
Into the Wilderness – Ep 26 – "What's Mine is God's" (Exodus 20:15)
April 28, 2024 • Pastor Murray Lutzer • Exodus 20:15
God has established the rights of individuals to possess property and to be stewards (managers) of all that God owns. When people steal, they not only sin against the one who possess the property, but they also sin against the One who loaned it in the first place, namely God. Besides the obvious ‘taking’ of what doesn’t belong to you, have you ever considered the MANY ways that we ‘steal’ from one another?
Into the Wilderness – Ep 25 – "Sexual Sanity" (Exodus 20:14)
April 21, 2024 • Pastor Blair Allen • Exodus 20:14
The Ten Commandments aren’t just about what not to do—they also promote love, kindness, and generosity. This includes having a positive view on sex. Christianity, despite what people may think, actually encourages delight and closeness in sex, but within marriage. The idea of sex being a connection between a Christian and Jesus shows us the joy of being fully loved and appreciated by God. It’s like a story of the gospel and points us to something even greater.
