Lutheran Confessions: 010 - The Ninth and Tenth Commandment

Dive into the heart of God's Law with Pastor Justin Wixon as he explores the Ninth and Tenth Commandments from Luther's Small and Large Catechisms in this engaging Bible study from Alive in Christ Church Lutheran.
Discover how these final commandments reveal the deeper sin of coveting—not just actions, but the desires of the heart. Pastor Justin unpacks why God separates coveting your neighbor's house/property from coveting their spouse, workers, or possessions, and how these commands expose our need for a Savior. From real-life examples (like childhood squabbles and modern discontentment) to powerful Scriptures (James 4, Hebrews 13), learn what true contentment looks like: being satisfied in Christ while still pursuing godly goals.
Key topics include:

Why coveting starts in the heart and leads to pride, envy, and conflict
The difference between worldly "first come, first served" attitudes and God's call to love and serve our neighbor
Practical ways to fight dissatisfaction and cultivate gratitude
How the Law shows our sin... and points us to Jesus, our perfect fulfillment

Whether you're studying the catechism, seeking deeper faith, or wrestling with contentment in today's world, this message will challenge and encourage you.
Pastor Justin Wixon, former high school science teacher turned pastor, brings relatable teaching rooted in Lutheran theology (LCMS) to everyday life.
