Tenth Commandment 12 Of 12

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Now we come to the last of the ten commandments. Perhaps God saved this tenth commandment until last for a special purpose.

The Lord, in the previous nine commandments, has told us, "Thou shalt not...”. The tenth commandment deals with the thing what will CAUSE US TO VIOLATE ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS, THE SIN OF COVETING. Illus: Joseph Exell said, "The history of the world is stained and ...read more

Ninth Commandment (11 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

A pastor announced that the next week he would be preaching on the ninth commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

He requested that the congregation go home and read Mark, chapter seventeen before the next Sunday. When next Sunday came, before he started preaching, he asked, “How many of you read Mark, chapter seventeen this week?” About half of the congregation raised their hands to indicate they had. Then ...read more

Eighth Commandment (10 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This morning we dealt with the commandment, "Thou shalt not Steal." We found out that we can steal in many ways. We found, for example, that we can steal:

1. Through gossip: We can say many things about people that can rob them of their good reputation. 2. Through being a bad employee. Not doing the job that we are being paid to do, or even perhaps dipping our hands in the till. 3. Through being a bad employer. An employer can easily steal from his ...read more

Sixth Commandment (7 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

There is a book on the market called the Shoot-em up Society by Harry Hollis, Jr. The purpose of the book is to revealed on the cover of the book. We read, “An appeal for Christian alternatives to the insanity of violence.”

But we do not have to read a book to discover that we live in a violent society. Every day we hear news reports of all kinds of violence around the world. Illus: Death is always sad, but it seems we are troubled the most when a murder has gone on a rampage and shot down innocent people that they ...read more

Sixth Commandment (6 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This is the shortest of all of the commandments and so simple that even a small child could understand it. However, in our society today this simple commandment is misunderstood by some.

For example, some carry this so far as to apply "Thou shalt not kill” to the killing of insects. Illus: Let me ask you something, if I see a fly on the table and I walk into the other room, get the fly swat, and carefully walk back to where the fly is, raise the fly swat in such a way as ...read more

Fifth Commandment (5 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Again I want to remind you that God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. They could not deliver themselves, but God, by His marvelous grace delivered them.

Now, as a new nation was beginning to be established, God gave these laws to them so they would know how to govern themselves. Why? Because a country cannot exist without regulations and laws. Some people today feel these laws are now archaic. Illus:Those who feel that we are past the age ...read more

Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

The Jews of old usually gave their children names that had meaning. Today we give our children names and have no idea what they mean, we go more by how they sound. Some do not even go by sound.

Illus: In Connecticut four ministers were named Wright none of them were related. To avoid confusion: • One was referred to as: “Minister Upright". • Another was referred to as, “Minister Downright”. • And another was referred to as, “Minister Outright.” • And the fourth was referred to as, ...read more

Second Commandment (2 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

As we preach through this series on the commandments I would like to remind you again of the importance of the importance of considering just why God gave these commandments to children of Israel.

They had been in cruel bondage for four hundred and thirty years. Then God freed them from that bondage. God reminds them of that in verse 2, we read, “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” Isn’t it amazing, if I do you a big ...read more

First Commandment (1 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

With this sermon we are beginning a series of messages on the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Before we preach on the commandments themselves we need to consider why God gave Israel these commandments. It has been stated by many that of all the documents that have ever been written not one has been more important than the TEN COMMANDMENTS. The commandments were not imposed on Israel by ...read more

Jesus said that all 613 laws (365 thou shalt not’s – 248 thou shalt’s), and words of the Prophets hang on just two commandments.

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Aug 12, 2018

Part 11 of this series discusses why this series was preached. We need to return to holiness by understanding that through Jesus Christ we were made holy and now it's up to us to live out who we are in Him.
