Episode Synopsis

What does it really mean to obey the Eighth Commandment in today’s culture of entitlement, corruption, and “what’s mine is mine”? This message unpacks the full scope of what it means to steal—from tangible theft to hidden heart-level dishonesty—and reveals God’s deeper call to integrity, generosity, and trust.
In this convicting and hope-filled sermon, you’ll learn:


Why stealing is about more than just taking what isn’t yours


How God is the true owner of everything—we’re just stewards


The dangers of stealing time, credit, resources, and even glory


What Scripture says about greed, envy, and withholding good


How Christians can steal from God through neglect or disobedience


The importance of financial faithfulness (Malachi 3, Matthew 25)


How Jesus restores and redefines true wealth and value


Practical steps to restore integrity and make things right


Whether you’re in business, ministry, or simply navigating daily life, this message challenges all of us to ask: Am I being honest before God and others?
