10th Commandment — Law Homily

This Sunday we concluded our first walk through the Ten Commandments by examining what may be the most penetrating of them all: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house... nor any thing that is thy neighbour's" (Exodus 20:17).

While the first nine commandments deal primarily with outward actions, this final commandment goes straight to our inner life. As the Apostle Paul testified in Romans 7, it was this very commandment that exposed the depth of his sin — showing that sin isn't just about what we do, but about what we desire.

This teaching explores how coveting manifests in everyday Christian life — in our marriages, parenting, careers, and especially in our social-media saturated culture. We examine why coveting is not merely a feeling but a sin against God's sovereignty and goodness, and how the gospel provides the only true answer: Learning to treasure Christ above all else and finding contentment in what God has given us.
