The Ninth Commandment - Exodus 20:16

Greg Thomas, one of our elders, preaches on the 9th Commandment in Exodus 20:16, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." In this sermon, Greg looks at 3 ways we bear false witness and 4 ways we bear true witness. We see how truth is a matter of life and death and how we can only look to Christ as a perfect law keeper and the ultimate source of truth and mercy. 

The Eighth Commandment - Exodus 20:15

**Recording begins a minute or so into the sermon**

The Seventh Commandment - Exodus 20:14

*Audio gets better at 3:01*
Pastor Matt preaches on the 7th Commandment in Exodus 20:14, "You shall not commit adultery."

The Sixth Commandment - Exodus 20:13

Pastor Matt preaches from Exodus 20:13 on the Sixth Commandment, "You shall not murder." In this sermon, we look at the command itself - why we need it, why we have it, and what doesn’t qualify as murder. Then we see three ways we can love our neighbors well in light of this commandment and the rest of the Scriptures.

The Fifth Commandment - Exodus 20:12

Pastor Matt preaches from Exodus 20:12 on The Fifth Commandment. In this sermon, we consider what it means to honor our fathers and mothers, how that changes from one stage of life to another, and how those who struggle with this command might find healing and hope through Christ's Gospel and His church. 

The Fourth Commandment - Exodus 20:8-11

Pastor Matt preaches on the Fourth Commandment from Exodus 20:8-11. Of all the Ten Commandments, the command to keep the Sabbath is the one most likely to be seen as no longer applying to Christians under the New Covenant. Pastor Matt shows that while there are varying degrees of observance, the Sabbath - now the Lord's Day - is still a day to be kept holy to the Lord. 

The Third Commandment - Exodus 20:7

Pastor Matt preaches on the Third Commandment from Exodus 20:7. In this sermon, Pastor Matt walks us through the importance of God's name, why God takes His name so seriously, and ways we are guilty of taking God's name in vain. It's a lot more than saying bad words with the word "God" attached to it. 

The Second Commandment - Heard But Not Seen

Pastor Matt preaches on the 2nd Commandment from Exodus 20:4-6.  He shows how people have always desired to worship God through images and through their own ways, but that God has revealed Himself to us as a God who is heard, but not seen, and has commanded us to worship Him in specific ways in the Scriptures. 

The First Commandment - Exodus 20:3

Pastor Matt preaches from Exodus 20:3, the first of God's Ten Commandments. In this sermon, we begin by looking again at the Christian's relationship to these Old Testament commandments. We then look at both what is forbidden and what is required by the first commandment. 

The Ten Commandments: The Preamble (Exodus 20:1-2)

Pastor Matt preaches from Exodus 20:1-2. In this sermon, we look at the Preamble to the Ten Commandments, the Commandments themselves, and other Scriptures, to see that they are God's gracious, revelatory, and enduring commands to His People.
