The Weight of a Word: Truth, Justice, and the Ninth Commandment | Exodus 20:16 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Don’t lie. That’s how we’ve summarized it. But that weakens the depth of it. The ninth commandment wasn’t written for polite conversation. It was written for the city gate - the ancient courtroom where elders weighed witnesses, established truth, and handed down verdicts. And bearing false witness in that context wasn’t just dishonesty. It was violence. Proverbs 25:18 says it plainly: a false witness is like a war club, a sword, or a sharp arrow. In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what
Open Hands: Scarcity, Stealing, and the Generous God | Exodus 20:15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do not steal. Simple enough, right? But the biblical definition of stealing goes further than most of us want to admit — taking without consent, yes, but also defrauding, deceiving, and withholding what is rightfully owed. And underneath all of it is the same mentality: there isn’t enough, so I better take what I can get. In this message, Eric walks through the eighth commandment and makes the case that this is really a generosity sermon. He traces the scarcity mentality from COVID toilet paper
Steadfast Love: What the Seventh Commandment Is Really Protecting | Exodus 20:14 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two Hebrew words. ”You shall not commit adultery.” But God isn’t merely guarding sexual behavior. He is guarding a covenant union He designed to tell the truth about Himself. In this message, Pastor David traces four movements through the seventh commandment — the boundary God protects, the blessing He reveals, the covenant He keeps, and the love He sends. From Genesis 1’s picture of one-and-many, to ezer kenegdo (the woman as strong ally, not assistant), to Hosea and Gomer, to Jesus on the Serm
The Fire We Keep: Anger, Idols, and the Life Jesus Gives | Exodus 20:13 Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week: contempt, two paths, a better word. This week: Jesus goes deeper. He’s not after the spark of anger. He’s after the fire we keep. In Matthew 5, Jesus connects lingering anger to murder — and then uses a word nobody expected: Gehenna. Not a metaphor. A real valley south of Jerusalem where the kings of Judah once burned their children alive. A valley so defiled that by Jesus’ day it had become the Jewish word for final judgment. And He puts contempt on that continuum. In this message, P
Two Paths and a Better Word: The Sixth Commandment | Exodus 20:13 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You shall not murder. Easy enough, right? But Jesus doesn’t stop at the act. He goes upstream - to the anger, the insult, the quiet contempt. And He stacks them, not because they’re three levels of a grading system, but because they all come from the same root. There’s an English word for that root: contempt. Taking the judge’s seat over another image bearer and declaring them worthless - with your hands, your words, or just your silence. In this message, Pastor David traces three verdicts acros
