This Sunday at Anchor Church, we continued in our series Ten Commandments: Law That Leads to Life by returning to the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not steal.” This is our second week in this command. This week we see that restoration in action in the story of Zacchaeus, as Jesus transforms a man defined by theft into a joyful steward marked by justice and generosity.

This Sunday at Anchor Church, we continued in our series Ten Commandments: Law That Leads to Life by returning to the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not steal.” This is our second week in this command. Last Sunday we traced it back to creation, where God made us stewards of His world, called to reflect His generosity. This week we see that restoration in action in the story of Zacchaeus, as Jesus transforms a man defined by theft into a joyful steward marked by justice and generosity.

This week in our series Ten Commandments: Law That Leads to Life, we came to the eighth command: “You shall not steal.” Scripture shows this is far more than a rule about property. It reaches to worship, trust, justice, and the kind of people God is forming us to be. The Bible begins with a God who gives—and it forms a people who steward gifts, not grasp for them.

It was a heavy week. Charlie Kirk died last Wednesday. After a week of conversations and social media battles our nation feels fractured and weary, and the common fault lines in the the world around us have been felt inside our own church family. One thing is for sure, we don’t all process moments like this the same way—but we all feel its weight.

Sunday we continued in our series TEN COMMANDMENTS: Law that Leads to Life with our fourth message on the seventh commandment: “You shall not commit adultery.” This week we asked: What kind of church does this commandment create? Our primary text was John 8, where the scribes and Pharisees drag a woman caught in adultery before Jesus.
