10 Commandments 04: Remember the Sabbath and Keep it Holy
This message emphasizes the importance of observing the Sabbath rest, not as a legalistic obligation but as a principle for maintaining a sustainable and healthy lifestyle physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Pastor John challenges us to evaluate if we are living over-scheduled and stressed lives and encourages us to be willing to slow down, dwell in God's rest, and for non-believers, to find true rest in Jesus Christ.

10 Commandments 03: Do Not Take The Lord's Name in Vain
In this message, Pastor Zach walks us through the Third Commandment, "Do not take the Lord's name in vain," emphasizing that it means more than just avoiding profanity. It calls Christians to bear God's name well by living in a way that glorifies and represents Him to others. He further explains that bearing God's name involves living an "unusual" life of love, integrity, justice, and holiness that stands out from the world around us.

10 Commandments 02: No Graven Images
In this message, we unpack the Second Commandment, "You shall not make for yourself an idol." Pastor Robert emphasizes that this commandment is about more than just physical idols. He highlights that idolatry can also present itself in other ways - getting impatient with God's process, making good things required rather than following God's guidance, and adding man-made rules or requirements to the worship of God. We are challenged to examine our lives for areas where we may be exhibiting these symptoms of idolatry and realign our focus on loving God and others, rather than following a checklist mentality.

10 Commandments 01: No Other Gods
In today's message, we talk about the First Commandment - "You shall have no other gods before me", and how we often put things like money and ourselves (our desires, careers, etc.) before God in our lives. Pastor John emphasizes that the Ten Commandments are not just rules, but guidelines for how to love God and love others, which Jesus summarized as the greatest commandments.
