The first commandment tells us that we’re to have no other gods but God. He is to be the exclusive object of our worship; the ultimate object of our love and desire. In this message, what we will see is that there isn’t a person here who is capable of dethroning all idols and giving his or her heart to God alone. It’s impossible. But what is impossible with us is possible with God.

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.
