Do Not Steal | Blake Hicks

What if the eighth commandment isn't just about avoiding theft, but about discovering the freedom that comes from living with open hands? You'll discover how stealing is rarely about stuff—it's about trust in God's provision, and how our culture of taking creates anxiety while generosity brings freedom. You can expect to be challenged not just to stop taking, but to start giving like Jesus did, understanding that transformed hearts naturally lead to open hands. This explores the difference between mere morality (don't steal) and Christianity (give generously), calling you to build a legacy marked not by what you accumulated, but by what you gave away.

Lord's Name In Vain | Luke Morgan

Why did God wait over a thousand years to reveal His personal name, and what does that tell us about how seriously He takes it? You'll discover that the third commandment isn't just about avoiding casual profanity—it's an invitation into profound intimacy with the God who has made Himself known as "I AM." You can expect to learn how God's name connects your everyday vocation, passions, and heart to authentic worship, and how Jesus fulfills every "I AM" promise as the greater Moses who went first for you.

Don't Make Idols | JJ Mannschreck

Are you chasing the wrong things, hoping they'll finally make your life feel complete?

You can expect to identify the hidden idols in your own life and learn practical steps to replace them with genuine intimacy with Jesus. This exploration of the second commandment reveals that God doesn't want your rituals or formulas—He wants your heart in a relationship that truly satisfies.

No Other Gods | JJ Mannschreck

Why do we keep slipping back into old habits we hate, even after God has set us free? You'll discover how the Ten Commandments aren't restrictions but God's compassionate guide for living in true freedom after trauma and slavery. Through the story of Israel's exodus from Egypt, you can expect to understand how loving God first is the key to breaking free from whatever "Egypt" still has a grip on your life. You'll learn to identify the modern idols competing for your worship and find courage to step boldly into the new identity God has for you.

1st Love | Joshua Holtrop

Do you remember the passion and excitement you felt when you first encountered Jesus—and wonder where it went? You'll discover how easy it is to drift from that first love while still doing all the right things, and why serving God out of obligation rather than devotion leaves us empty. Through the warning Jesus gave to the church in Ephesus, you can expect to learn the practical steps to reignite your love for God and return to the works you did at first—not out of duty, but out of genuine passion for Him.
