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.

The Fifth Commandment: Honour Your Parents | Exodus 20:12

It would be no exaggeration to say that these days, the family is under attack. Divorce rates are sky high. There are many single parents who are raising their children and families that are dysfunctional. Children are broken by their parents’ divorce and adultery, which has a huge impact on their relationship with their parents. On top of this, the culture is normalising perversion - same-sex relationships, transgenderism – actively encouraging children to embrace this wickedness and evil, even if it means rejecting the authority, wisdom and guidance of their parents. 
In this sermon we look at the Fifth Commandment: honour your father and mother. In the midst of a world which is showing increasing distain for healthy families, for the honour of parents, God’s Word shines a light into this present darkness. Indeed God really cares about families because he created them. This Commandment shows us God’s will for how children are to relate to their parents. But as we’ll see, it speaks into more than just thefamily. In fact, this Commandment applies to all authority that God has established. We’ll see that because God has blessed us with parents and other figures of authority, and established them as authority figures in our lives, we are to honour and obey them.
