Do Not Covet | Mark Randolph | Venice Church

Why do we sometimes long for what we don't have? What does it reveal about ourselves when we never feel like we have enough, or nothing ever seems good enough? In a culture where it has become easy and "normalized" to covet, what does God say about the bondage that puts us in, and how we can be free from it? In today’s message we unpack the 10th commandment– Do not covet. It turns out, at the core of this temptation is us seeking to find our identity and value in what we have, and what we produce. In today's message we unpack God's Word to discover a better way to live– a free way to live! When we put our faith in Christ and find our identity in Christ, we will discover we are already free. Here's 4 ways we can practice that freedom: Practice gratitude. Learn contentment in Christ. Fight envy with generosity. Redirect your desires through worship. True contentment comes from trusting God to meet our deepest needs and being satisfied with what He provides. When we do that, we will start to live the way free people were created to live! ––––– If this message spoke to you, share it with someone who needs encouragement today! ––––– – To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, click here: https://eastlake.church/give 🔔 Subscribe for more messages of faith, hope, and love for your everyday life. #Jesus #OldTestament #bookofexodus #tencommandments #10commandments #churchforeverydaypeople #churchonline #encouragingsermon #hope #calling #purpose #thechurchgodcallsustobe #familychurch #chulavista #sandiego #freedom #livefree #donotcovet #identiyinchrist #enough #worthy #loved ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
