The 10 Commandments | No Adultery

Continuing our Ten Commandments series, this sermon focuses on the Seventh Commandment — the call not to commit adultery. As we unpacked this command, we saw that its scope extends far beyond marital fidelity; it reaches into the realm of the heart and the spiritual life. We discovered that fulfilling this command begins with seeking spiritual satisfaction in the Lord, for only He can curb the desires of the flesh. Secondly, we must slay every hint of sin, taking a radical and uncompromising approach to purity. Finally, Scripture calls us to stay steadfast with our spouse, enduring and working through the trials of marriage with covenant faithfulness. As our Savior teaches, adultery begins in the heart — therefore, we must root out the seeds of unfaithfulness before they take root and bloom.
