Okay, so if you've been depressed about not being up-to-date in our series on the 10 Commandments, fret no more!
We had a minor issue with the 7th Commandment which kept us from posting the others (since we wanted to keep them in order). That minor issue had to do with not being able to find it... therefore, I attempted to re-preach it. The problem with re-recording that night was that the last part of the sermon was largely shaped through the thoughtful and insightful discussion that the various table groups had and offered to the larger worshiping group. There was no way to re-create that... Therefore, you will not hear Meagan say the words "anal sex" in the context of worship. Sorry. Do not despair. I tried to say "genitals" a few more times, just to make up for it. :)

The 7th Word: Sex and Marriage and Spirituality
The 8th Word: Stop Stealing
The 9th Word: Can You Handle the Truth? - The Jesus Way is the way of truth-telling. We have been invited into a new way of getting on in the world. The truthfulness of God refuses to allow us to continue living in self-deceit and unconfessed sin, or with dehumanizing and dishonest speech toward our neighbors. God created us to Live the Truth. The Truth needs a Truth-Telling Covenant Community in which find its home.
The 10th Word: Your Heart Desires - What a perfect bookend to the 10 Commandments. God's strong desire is that we would desire Him with all of our desire. This final Word names some of those desires that creep into our hearts and minds, begging for us to pursue them. These misplaced desires separate us from God and they separate us from our neighbor. Before we know it we have everything our heart desires, but we've lost our soul.
