The Ten Commandments 

(The focus for our Wednesday evening Services, and for Holy Week and Easter, has been the 10 Commandments. Local pastors were provided with a sermon corresponding to their assigned commandment, the sermons are from a sermon series, written by Rev. Brent Kuhlman of Trinity Lutheran Church, Murdock, NE for Concordia Pulpit Resources, which our Circuit selected for us to use in our Lenten Services. Pastors were encouraged to use as much or as little as they liked from the Pr. Kuhlman’s sermon series)

The Tenth Commandment - Ash Wednesday

You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbour’s wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty.

The Ninth Commandment - Ash Wednesday 

You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not scheme to get our neighbour’s inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it.

Rev. Lucas André Albrecht: Associate Pastor of Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Regina Saskatchewan, CA. Read the Sermon

The Eighth Commandment

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbour, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.

Rev. Lucas André Albrecht: Associate Pastor of Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Regina Saskatchewan, CA. Read the Sermon 

The Seventh Commandment

You shall not steal. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not take our neighbour’s money or possessions, or get them in any dishonest way, but help him to improve and protect his possessions and income.
