Into the Wilderness – Ep 28 – "The Grass is Not Always Greener" (Exodus 20:17-21)
In this final teaching from the 10 Commandments, Pastor Blair examines the word “covet” and what it means to “desire enviously that which belongs to another.” If covetousness is like a tree, then there are generally five roots that nourish it: envy, jealousy, greed, lust, and discontentment.

Into the Wilderness – Ep 26 – "What's Mine is God's" (Exodus 20:15)
God has established the rights of individuals to possess property and to be stewards (managers) of all that God owns. When people steal, they not only sin against the one who possess the property, but they also sin against the One who loaned it in the first place, namely God. Besides the obvious ‘taking’ of what doesn’t belong to you, have you ever considered the MANY ways that we ‘steal’ from one another?

Into the Wilderness – Ep 25 – "Sexual Sanity" (Exodus 20:14)
The Ten Commandments aren’t just about what not to do—they also promote love, kindness, and generosity. This includes having a positive view on sex. Christianity, despite what people may think, actually encourages delight and closeness in sex, but within marriage. The idea of sex being a connection between a Christian and Jesus shows us the joy of being fully loved and appreciated by God. It’s like a story of the gospel and points us to something even greater.

Into the Wilderness – Ep 24 – "We Weren't M.A.I.D. For This" (Exodus 20:13)
What is the difference between killing someone and murdering someone? What are the ethical issues facing our society today about death and dying? Take your Bible and join us for this continuing study through the 10 Commandments. The title tells you a little of what we are going to look at together. :)

Into the Wilderness – Ep 23 – "R.E.S.P.E.C.T. - Honour Your Parents"
What comes to mind when you think of your father or mother? For some, the thought is uplifting. For others, it’s devastating. Yet the Bible says, “Honour your father and mother” and provides no exception clause for those of us who have had horrific experiences at the hands of our parents. So what does it mean to honour them? How do we do this?

Rescue – Ep 04 – "Rescued from Eternal Death"
On Easter Sunday, we celebrate and remember that Jesus triumphed over the grave! He died and is now alive forevermore, holding the keys to Death and Hades (Rev. 1:18). Those who trust in Him need not fear death. Jesus got what He didn’t deserve, namely our sin, and we got what we didn’t deserve, His gift of righteousness.
