Listen "The Danger of Disordered Desire"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon centers on the tenth commandment—'You shall not covet'—presenting it not merely as a prohibition against theft or adultery, but as a profound call to purity of heart and spiritual integrity. It explores how coveting, though internal, corrupts the soul, distorts relationships, and reveals idolatry by placing created things above God, ultimately dehumanizing both the coveter and the object of desire. Drawing from Scripture, including the fall of Adam and Eve, the sin of Achan, and the transformation of Paul, the message underscores that true righteousness begins with a heart transformed by grace, not legalism. The preacher emphasizes that genuine faith is marked by contentment, stewardship, and selfless love, exemplified in Christ's incarnation and Paul's ministry, where the pursuit of others' souls, not personal gain, defined true service. The call is for believers to reject materialism, greed, and self-centered ambition, trusting in God's promise to never leave or forsake them, and to live as free people whose hearts are fixed on Him alone.
