Thou Shalt Not Covet (Part 2)

Introduction

II. Coveting & Sin

A. Desires Lead to Actions (Matt. 15:18-19)

David's sin with Bathsheba began as a sinful desire (breaking the 10th Commandment), moved to deceptive actions and lies (breaking the 9th Commandment), the stealing of another man's wife (breaking the 8th Commandment), committing adultery with her (breaking the 7th Commandment), and finally killing her husband—Uriah (breaking the 6th Commandment).

B. Dissatisfaction Always Leads to Sin

III. Covetousness & Idolatry

A. Covetousness is Idolatry (Col. 3:5; Eph. 5:5)

B. The Cycle of Holiness

Conclusion

Jesus First. Others Second. Yourself Last.

Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6
