Sexuality Created

Scripture Reference: Exodus 20:14

We live in a time of greater confusion about sex and gender than ever in our nation’s history. Slicing through the fog, however, is God’s simple: No Adultery. What seems hopelessly quaint to some is a window into Jesus’ desire to be intimate with his people.

Sermon Points:

  • The Maze of Sexuality
  • The Power of Sexuality
  • The Purpose of Sexuality

No Murder

Scripture Reference: Exodus 20:13

The image of God present within the constitution of every single person, places a great burden on every OTHER person not only to avoid damaging that image, but also to do everything within our power to bless that image bearer.

Sermon Points:

  • Living With The Image of God
  • Taking Life Away
  • Giving Life Away

Honoring the Family

Scripture Reference: Exodus 20:12

There are few things more complicated in people’s lives than the relationships with our family. God’s design is for legitimate lines of authority to be “honored” by all, while realizing that HE is the only true Father of us all.

Sermon Points:

  • The Permanence of Family
  • The Posture of Family
  • The Power of Family

The Rhythms of Work & Rest

Scripture Reference: Exodus 20:8-11

For most of us, the rhythm of life is a chaotic and frenetic mess, scrambling around trying to stay ‘productive’ and have your ‘head above water.’ In this chaos, the 4th Commandment enters and invites God’s people into a deep rest of the soul.

Sermon Points:

  • The Nature of Work
  • The Need to Rest

No Worthless Name Taking

Scripture Reference: Exodus 20:7

The 10 Commandments forbid us to “take God’s name” in a worthless manner. His “name” is the summation of his character, his reputation. But how do we guard the reputation of the God of the Universe?

Sermon Points:

  • Respect- Giving Weight To God
  • Hypocrisy- Spoiling God’s Reputation
  • Hope for Disrespectful Hypocrites
