And what does the Bible require about truth-telling? Join us as we examine the 9th Commandment in Exodus 20:16 and consider what the Scripture says about truth-telling.

The 8th Commandment is simple. Never steal! We get it. But what if it means more than shoplifting, embezzlement, or failing to return a neighbor’s borrowed tools? Join us as we consider what the 8th command teaches about economics, faith, & true riches.
04/09/2023 | “Defining Moments” | Matthew 27:62-28:20

04/02/2023 | “Cross Examination” | Matthew 27:1-61
Pilate’s courtroom is the greatest miscarriage of justice in history. Everyone is guilty –judge, prosecutors, and jury – everyone that is except the one on trial. He alone is innocent.

03/26/2023 | “Chastity” | Exodus 20:14
Chastity is not just about sex, but holiness. Do you strive for holiness? Guard your eyes, thoughts, and words? The 7th Commandment is about more than adultery.

03/19/2023 | “Looks that Kill” | Exodus 20:13

03/12/2023 | “Showing Honor” | Exodus 20:1-21

03/05/2023 | “A Day Like No Other” | Exodus 20:8-11
Is the Lord’s Day a feast day? A Market Day for your Soul? A day unlike any other? Or is it just another day? Is it distinguished by the pursuit of the things that will last forever? Or only more of what will quickly fade away? Join us as we examine Exodus 20:8-11 and consider the Lord’s Day – a day like no other.
02/26/2023 | “What’s In A Name” | Exodus 20:7
Names are important. And none more than God’s. Yet no name is more unused and misused. In the Bible, His name includes everything whereby He makes Himself known. And the 3rd Commandment reveals what it means to hallow God’s name and not take it in vain. Join us as we examine Exodus 20:7 and consider what it means to keep and break this commandment.
02/19/2023 | “Worship: Reformed According to Scripture” | Exodus 20:1-21
When God gave the law to Israel, he used sound, not sights – words, not pictures. He spoke but did not show himself. It is by His Word that we understand, worship, and follow him. Not through sanctified imagination or imagery. God’s word is enough. Join us as we examine Exodus 20:4-6 and consider what the second commandment requires, what it forbids, why it is given, and what it promises.
