Sermon: Making a Contribution
Date: March 2, 2014
Series: Ten Commandments
Listen to Sermon: Track 1
The temptation to steal is more powerful than we might initially imagine. We usually think of it as a violation of someone else’s property rights, and we frown upon stealing because it is bad for society. This Sunday, as we consider the commandment that prohibits stealing, we will consider the angle of Ephesians 4, where the Bible does not talk about how bad stealing is for society, but instead helps us see that the habit of stealing actually robs the thief of the opportunity to make a positive contribution.

Sermon: Protecting What Is Valued
Date: February 23, 2014
Series: Ten Commandments
Listen to Sermon: Track 1
Galatians 5 introduces us to a category of behaviors that are referred to as “works of the flesh.” These traits often seem normal, and many would consider them “benign.” However, the Bible tells us that those who practice these things, won’t be able to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. We will consider this teaching as we continue our series on the Ten Commandments.

Date: January 19, 2014
Series: Commandments
Listen to Sermon: Track 1
When you know someone’s name, you can get their attention, ask for favors, and contact them regularly. When God gives us His name, He teaches us to utilize that power of knowing Him with great care. In Acts 19, we get a glimpse of what happens when His name is used flippantly.
