Truth has become a casualty in today’s world—from "little white lies" to character assassination, deception is everywhere, even within church communities. In this message on the Ninth Commandment, we explore why God calls us not to give false testimony and how this command still shapes our lives today. Gossip (the whispered lie), slander (the weaponized lie), and flattery (the whitewashed lie) are all ways we compromise truth, damaging relationships and grieving God. From the Garden of Eden to our daily decisions, deception often stems from doubting God's goodness and trying to take control through dishonesty. Many believers don’t realize how these small compromises can hinder their prayers or spiritual growth, yet Scripture warns that God hates a lying tongue (Proverbs 6:16–19). True change begins not with behavior modification but heart transformation. As we follow Jesus—the way, the truth, and the life—our words begin to reflect His character, building others up with grace and truth (Colossians 4:6). Join us and discover how living truthfully brings lasting freedom and deeper connection with God and others.

Drowning in a sea of "more" while feeling less satisfied than ever? The Tenth Commandment—"Thou shall not covet"—might be the spiritual lifeline you've been searching for.

In this eye-opening exploration of contentment, we unpack why this ancient command speaks so powerfully to our modern struggles with materialism and comparison. When Henrietta Garrett died in 1930 with $20 million but no will, a staggering 26,000 people suddenly claimed relation to her—people who never cared about her in life. This cautionary tale sets the stage for understanding how unchecked desire leads to disastrous consequences.

Your value isn't determined by your valuables. Your purpose exceeds your possessions. Join our 10-week journey through the Ten Commandments and discover how being satisfied with what you have might be the most revolutionary act in today's acquisitive culture. Connect with a Life Group near you and start experiencing the freedom that comes when you break the cycle of wanting more.

Struggling with lukewarm worship? You’re not alone. While creation naturally praises its Creator, we often come distracted, disconnected, or overcomplicating what should be simple. Worship doesn’t require perfect music or emotions—it just needs spirit and truth. Some of the most powerful worship in Scripture came from dark places, like Paul and Silas in prison or Job in grief. True worship is praising even when we don’t feel like it. When we shift our focus from problems to God, everything changes—our spirit lifts, God feels nearer, and our perspective transforms. Ready to move from routine to real worship? Come prepared, stay present, and praise anyway.
