The 10th Love Instruction - 4/6/25

FROM COVETING TO CONTENTMENT

SUMMARY: 

This Sunday Pastor Dave will lead us in the exploration of the 10th Love Instruction – “do not covet.” To covet means to desire that which belongs to our neighbor. When we covet, coveting leads us down one of two paths both of which result in broken relationship with God or with someone else. We will explore those two paths as we look at two biblical stories and three practical steps to avoid coveting and walking down those two paths. Bottom line, we want to be a people who do not covet but who rather live a life of godly contentment.
