The Ninth Commandment: Speak The Truth | Exodus 20:16

"What is truth?” These words were spoken by Pontius Pilate in John 18:38, as he questioned Jesus, before his crucifixion on Good Friday. In many ways, not much has changed over the past 2000 years. Truth is still seen as relative, just as it was in the pagan Greco-Roman world of the NT. But today what we would consider self-evident truths, such as being able to tell the difference between a man and a woman, between good and evil, right and wrong, can no longer be presumed. In fact, we are facing increasing pressure from our culture to go along with their charade, their lies, that we must call evil good, wrong right and affirm the delusion of mentally ill men who think they are women. And if you think that that craziness is just limited to the USA and Cape Town, just ask any school teacher in our area.
In the face of a truth-averse world, God, who is truth, who alone gets to determine what truth is, reveals to us in this Ninth Commandment that we, his people, are likewise to be people of the truth. The problem with falsehood and lies is that they destroy. They destroy ourselves, other people, and even societies. What we are going to see in this sermon is that because God is truth, we are to love our neighbour by speaking only the truth.

The Eighth Commandment: What’s Mine Belongs to God | Exodus 20:15

When the Nazis took power in Germany in 1933, they started a process of gradually seizing property from its Jewish citizens. They began to seize Jewish businesses, then they began to confiscate from the Jews their financial assets and investments. Then they forced them out of their homes and any land they owned, seizing most of their earthly possessions in the process. Herded into the concentration camps, the Jews took with them the little they couldsalvage in a few suitcases. But even these was seized from them once they arrived at the camps. Even their gold fillings were ripped out, before most of them were murdered in the ovens and gas chambers. This is one example of shocking state-sponsored theft – from an entire people.
In this sermon, we look at the Eighth Commandment, "Do not steal." God’s design for a flourishing humanity is that we are to respect what belongs to others – don’t take what doesn’t belong to you! Private property is therefore a good thing, something that God hasordained. But ultimately everything that we have belongs to God himself. What we’re going to see is that because all things belong to God, we are to be good stewards of our own property and respect the property of others.
Preacher: Rev. Antonio Coppola.

The Seventh Commandment: The Sanctity of Marriage | Exodus 20:14

In most movies and series that you watch these days, you’ll typically see two people who fall in love and then almost immediately they’re sleeping together, quite obviously not married. This quick progression is presented absolutely natural and normal. In fact what is portrayed as abnormal and unnatural is people who wait until marriage. The sad thing is that this view in not just in the movies, but has almost been adopted wholesale by most people, even many professing Christians unfortunately, as our culture has been very effective at catechising us in this regard.
What this all betrays is frankly a very low view of sex and ultimately marriage. Sex is too often seen as something common, purely a bodily function, something that you do for convenience sake with whomever you are in love at a particular time, with commitment being optional.
In stark contrast to this popular low view of sex and marriage, God’s view of sex is infinitely higher. He has designed it to be something special and sacred to be shared between husband and wife in order to draw them closer, as one flesh, in their life-long covenant bond of love, to bear fruit, to multiply their joy and intimacy and to bring him glory. It is precisely for these reasons that the Seventh Commandment prohibits the desecration of the marriage bed. The command to not commit adultery not only prohibits adultery, but has implications for all sexual conduct. What we’ll see in this sermon is that because God created the institution of marriage, we are to jealously guard the marriage bed.
Preacher: Rev. Antonio Coppola.
