The Decalogue: Eighth Word
October 22, 2023 19:00 - 54 minutes - 100 MBStealing, at first glance, seems easy to understand. Everyone knows that it’s wrong to steal. Even the definition of stealing is simple, to steal something is to take something that is not yours. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that, and so is the eighth commandment. Pastor Sonny discusses this in our ongoing study of the Book of Exodus.

October 15, 2023 19:00 - 54 minutes - 99.7 MBAdultery is marital unfaithfulness or infidelity, which puts the covenant of marriage at the heart of our understanding of the seventh commandment. Pastor Sonny discusses this in our ongoing study of the Book of Exodus.

October 01, 2023 19:00 - 49 minutes - 90.8 MBIf honoring everyone means treating all human life with dignity and respect, then the worst thing you can do in disobedience or in rebellion to this command is to take that life away from them.

The Decalogue: Fifth Word
September 24, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBIn this week’s message, Pastor Sonny discusses the first commandment that deals with our relationship with other human beings — and the only command with a promise. However, what is God’s real purpose for this commandment? How should we act in obedience to it, and how can I honour parents who are dishonourable?
The Decalogue: Fourth Word
September 10, 2023 19:00 - 51 minutes - 95.2 MBThe Biblical idea of a day of rest has been in effect ever since the beginning of time. For the Israelites in the wilderness, it was a reminder of God’s faithfulness to provide for their needs and therefore reinforce or strengthen their faith in Him. What does it mean for us today? In this week’s message, Pastor Sonny explains the application of God’s Fourth Commandment in our ongoing series on Exodus.
The Decalogue: Third Word
September 03, 2023 19:00 - 46 minutes - 86.4 MBBiblically speaking, names are important, which is why the Third Commandment is seemingly so harsh about prohibiting the taking of the Lord’s name in vain.

In this week’s message, Pastor Sonny explains the deeper meaning of God’s Third Commandment in our ongoing series on Exodus.
The Decalogue: Second Word
August 27, 2023 19:00 - 56 minutes - 105 MBThe key to living a virtuous life is to orient ourselves to a “good” and perfect law giver first and trust that He and His laws are truly good, and then obedience will come. This leads us to the first two commandments.
The Decalogue: First Word
August 20, 2023 19:00 - 56 minutes - 103 MBWithout a standard, without a judge, our society’s way of dealing with morality will only result in chaos and confusion, which will ultimately lead to our own destruction. This is why the first statement in the Ten Commandments is of utmost importance. As human beings, we need our morality to be grounded on something absolute and solid, so we need to go back to the decalogue to find out what that something — or Someone — is.
The Decalogue: Introduction
