Season 2, Episode 119In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on sin, desire, identity, and holiness by examining the biblical doctrine of concupiscence and the ongoing struggle against indwelling sin. Building on the previous discussion of original sin and fallen human nature, the conversation addresses a difficult question: What should Christians think about sinful desires that seem to arise without conscious choice? Drawing from passages such as James 1, Romans 7, Galatians 5, Hebrews 4, and the Tenth Commandment, the episode explores the distinction between external temptation and inward corruption, the historic debate over whether sinful desire is itself sin, and why the Reformers insisted that disordered desires must be taken seriously as part of humanity's fallenness. Along the way, Michael and Zach discuss the sinlessness of Christ, the doctrine of impeccability, the reality of remaining corruption in the believer, and the Spirit-empowered battle of sanctification. The episode concludes with a message of both honesty and hope: the presence of sinful desire is not proof that grace is absent, but neither is it something to celebrate. Rather, the Christian life is a real war against sin in which God progressively transforms His people through the gospel, His Spirit, and the ordinary means of grace.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/M9nVPTdYieUMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

The Tenth Commandment forbids more than wanting good things. It warns against desires that grow unchecked — desires that become demands, and when unmet, harden into envy and resentment. But here's the tension: if coveting helped create the problems we inherited, what makes any generation think it will be different? Every generation says, “We'll be different.” Yet real change begins when we recognize the problem is not only around us, but within us.
The Law of God and the Christian Life (Lesson 10)
In this final message of The Law of Love series, we examine the Tenth Commandment and discover that coveting is more than wanting things—it is a heart problem rooted in trying to find significance, security, and satisfaction apart from God. Coveting fuels comparison, worry, and a host of costs because created things can never fill what only the Creator can satisfy. From Philippians 4, we learn that contentment is something we must cultivate, and as we do we find that true peace is not in having more, but in knowing Christ is enough.

Today's Reading: Catechism: Tenth CommandmentDaily Lectionary: Genesis 47:1-31; Genesis 48:1-49:28; Mark 13:24-37Urge them to stay and do their duty. (Small Catechism)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.I have found it helpful when trying to understand a word or concept to try to consider its opposite. So what's the opposite of coveting? Contentment. Instead of an unhealthy obsession with what I do not have, to be content or satisfied with what I do have, with what I've been given. Such contentment is a gift. And something many people want. A good picture of this might be of children on a playground. They are free to play, run, pretend, and have fun because Mom and Dad are there and provide all they need. That's true for us as children of God! Because we have a Father in heaven who created us and gave us life, His Son who redeemed us and forgives us, and the Holy Spirit who gives us the Gift of contentment. As a child of God, I am free to live and enjoy life!But sadly, we don't always live that way. We listen to a culture that encourages us to want more and more, bigger and better. To not be satisfied with what you have. What happens then is that we become slaves to our desires, unhappy, and caught up in pursuing what we don't have. That's why St. Paul calls coveting idolatry (Colossians 3:5), that is, something that takes the place of God in our hearts. And with that, Paul has “closed the loop” on the Commandments that also begin with idolatry. The First Commandment teaches us that we have a God who wants to be our God and Father, and the Tenth Commandment teaches us that we have a God and Father who wants to provide everything for us and for our neighbor. I don't have to covet what God has given my neighbor because I know He has good He has planned for me and wants to give to me. So just as I can support my neighbor in every physical need, help him to improve and protect his possessions and income, and protect his reputation, I can also urge my neighbor's wife, workers, and animals to stay and do their duty, because I know God has given them to him and will provide for me. For if God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for me and my spiritual life, I can be sure He will also graciously give me all I need for my physical life as well (Romans 8:32). He promised!In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Heavenly Father, You have made me Your child in Baptism and made me an heir of all Your gracious promises in Christ Jesus. By Your Holy Spirit, strengthen me to forsake all covetous desires that my heart cling to You alone for all I am, all I need, and all my joy; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
In this episode, Pastor Jeff continues exploring Faith Question 12, focusing on the Tenth Commandment and God's call to live with contentment rather than envy. We'll learn how comparing ourselves to others can steal our joy and how thankfulness helps us remember the good gifts God has already given us. Galatians 5:26 "Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."

What is at the heart of the tenth commandment? Deuteronomy 24:17–26:15 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these forty verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the heart is the heart of the tenth commandment. The devotional presents a comprehensive exposition of the Tenth Commandment's call to contentment, gratitude, and justice, rooted in Israel's identity as redeemed slaves and sustained by God's covenant faithfulness. Central to this teaching is the recurring call to care for the vulnerable—strangers, widows, and fatherless—while maintaining integrity in justice, honesty, and personal conduct, all reflecting a heart that esteems others as made in God's image. The law's applications—from refusing to exploit laborers and maintaining honest weights to preserving dignity in punishment and honoring marital duty—reveal that true generosity flows from a transformed heart that trusts God's provision and rejects covetousness. Gratitude and generosity are not mere duties but expressions of identity and worship, pointing forward to Christ's self-emptying love. Ultimately, the law reveals that holiness is not fragmented but holistic, demanding a life of thankfulness that mirrors God's character.

The Tenth Commandment is against “coveting.”That's an old-fashioned concept that no one really seems to talk about any more.Which is a shame, because coveting is a sure way to be unhappy.This is because coveting is wanting something that isn't yours to have.Including someone else's life. And wanting something that isn't yours to have is a sure way to be miserable.It's like when Peter asked Jesus what the future held for the Apostle John.Jesus's response? “What's that to you, Peter?”It's the same for us—we are constantly allowing ourselves to covet things that aren't ours: other people's lives or bodies or families or bank accounts.The only solution to this is gratitude.

A little debate broke out on social media when a left-wing progressive mocked the idea that “absolute” standards of living are more important than “relative” ones. To some, what people aspire to is merely “to have a better life than the people around them,” and not “to have a better life.”What is the truth here? And does it matter? If people really are merely concerned with “upping” their neighbors, couldn't we do that pretty easily without driving burdensome things like “progress”?On today's Capital Record, David takes on the reality of human nature and the fundamental aim of economics. Ultimately, we find ourselves back to the Tenth Commandment to resolve one tension, and to the Garden of Eden to resolve another! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

By Matthew Hernandez - We'll be exploring the dangers of the Tenth Commandment and where it can lead. But also, how to fight this sin.
What does the Tenth Commandment have to do with Target runs, Amazon carts, and Instagram ads? In this episode, Mark and Emily explore “Do not covet” and talk honestly about living in a world designed to stir desire and fuel discontent.They discuss why coveting runs deeper than wanting stuff — it's about wanting someone else's life — and why modern advertising, comparison culture, and curated online lifestyles make contentment both harder and more essential. With practical ideas like 24-hour purchase rules, fasting from buying, gratitude habits, and learning to rejoice in others' good, this conversation invites us into a lifestyle shaped by worship, simplicity, and joy in God's provision.Resources:Cornerstone Church Sermons: Listen online
We find ourselves in one of the most challenging sections of Romans, where Paul confronts us with a profound truth: the law reveals our sin but cannot save us from it. Through the lens of the tenth commandment—'thou shalt not covet'—we discover how deeply sin runs in our hearts. The message uses a simple yet powerful illustration of children wanting each other's ice cream to show us something profound: we are perfectly content with what we have until we see what others possess. This isn't just about material things; it's about the human heart's tendency to compare, desire, and ultimately rebel against God's boundaries. The beauty of this teaching lies in its honesty—we learn that even the greatest saints, like Paul himself, wrestled with sin daily. The law acts as a mirror, showing us our need for a Savior, but it cannot cleanse us. Only the blood of Jesus can do that. When we stand before God, it won't be our good deeds that save us, but Christ stepping onto the scales of justice in our place. This message calls us to guard our hearts, cultivate gratitude instead of covetousness, and remember that when we do fall—and we will—we have an advocate in Jesus Christ who pleads our case before the Father.### Sermon Notes: Understanding Romans 7:7-14#### Detailed Notes1. **Introduction** - The sermon focuses on Romans 7:7-14, noted as a dense and challenging part of the scripture where Paul discusses the law and sin. - Central theme: The law's role in revealing sin and the struggle of living under sin's influence despite knowing the law.2. **Prayer for Clarity** - Asking for divine help to illuminate the passage and remove distractions for better understanding.3. **Missions Update** - Brief updates on church missions to Malawi, South Africa, and Myanmar, emphasizing global reach and community impact.4. **Exposition of Romans 7:7-14** - Example of coveting as illustrated in Exodus 20:17 (The Tenth Commandment). - Story of personal experience with grandchildren to highlight the human tendency toward covetousness. - Emphasis that coveting stems from the heart, leading to actions contrary to God's commandment.5. **Boundaries and Sin** - Illustration of boundaries using a playground metaphor, explaining how humans naturally push against established limits. - The law serves as a boundary to reveal the sin within, not to save.6. **Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21)** - Jesus teaching against covetousness by focusing on the parable where temporal possessions take precedence over spiritual richness. - Warning against the dangers of greed and the temporal nature of material possessions.7. **David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12)** - The story of King David's sin due to covetousness as a demonstration of how a desire stems from the heart and leads to breaking multiple commandments. - Nathan's confrontation of David and the ensuing consequences.8. **Covetousness and Spiritual Life** - Recognizing that covetousness begins in the heart and can lead to a cascade of sinful actions. - Encouragement to guard the heart against such desires (Proverbs 4:23).9. **Paul's Struggle with Sin** - Insight into Paul's internal struggle with sin, possibly rooted in personal inadequacies and past actions. - Importance of grace through Jesus as the only path to overcoming sin.10. **Practical Implications of the Sermon** - Recognizing our daily battles with sin and relying on Jesus as our advocate. - Importance of gratitude as a weapon against covetousness and material obsession. - Encouraging humility and recognition of one's sinfulness to experience growth and redemption.#### Practical Applications1. **Cultivate Gratitude** - Regularly practice gratitude to combat covetousness. Maintain a gratitude journal or share daily thanks with family or friends.2. **Guard Your Heart** - Be mindful of thoughts that lead to coveting. Establish personal 'guardrails' when engaging with media that fuels envy or discontentment.3. **Recognize Boundaries** - Identify areas in life where you push against God's established boundaries and work on staying centered through prayer and reflection.4. **Pursue Spiritual Richness** - Prioritize investments in spiritual growth over material acquisitions. Participate in church activities, bible studies, and community services.5. **Rely on Jesus' Advocacy** - When struggling with sin, verbally acknowledge Jesus as your advocate in prayer to foster reliance on His grace.#### Discussion Questions1. How does understanding the purpose of the law help you in your daily struggle with sin?2. Can you identify ways in which covetousness surfaces in your life? How do you typically respond to it?3. Reflect on a situation where gratitude has helped you overcome feelings of envy or dissatisfaction. Share with the group.4. In what ways can we as a community support each other in establishing and respecting personal and spiritual boundaries?5. How does the understanding of Jesus as your advocate change your perspective on personal failings and sins?
In the final episode of our series on the Ten Commandments, we dive into the powerful principle behind the Tenth Commandment: gratitude. Why do we constantly desire what others have? Why does happiness always seem just out of reach? Tim and Kimberly unpack how coveting steals joy, the psychological trap of the hedonic treadmill, and the biblical antidote: cultivating gratitude for what God has already given us. Learn practical ways to develop contentment, strengthen your spiritual perspective, and experience true joy rooted in Christ.

In this closing episode of the Ten Commandments series, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the final commandment: Do not covet. He reflects on envy, desire, and Ibn Ezra's teaching that all mitzvot aim to straighten the heart—reminding us to live with gratitude, mindfulness, and compassion as we enter a new year.

“You must not covet your neighbor’s house. You must not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17 NLT) The tenth and final commandment stands apart. While the other commandments, to a large extent, deal with what we do outwardly, this one deals with what we do inwardly. While the other commandments deal primarily with actions, this one deals with a state of mind and heart. A Roman Catholic priest who heard the confessions of thousands of people said he listened to folks admit to sins of almost every kind, including adultery and even murder. But he could not recall even one person who confessed to the sin of coveting. Maybe that’s because no one knew what it was. Coveting is looking at something, admiring it, and essentially taking it. For instance, let’s say your friend has a car. You say, “I like that car.” That’s not coveting. You say, “I want a car like it.” Still not coveting. You say, “I’m going to buy a car just like it.” Still not coveting. You say, “I want your car.” That is a problem. You say, “I’m taking your car.” That’s coveting—and grand theft auto, in this case. It is taking something that belongs to another. Something that was never meant to be yours. You’ll notice that the commandment says, “You must not covet your neighbor’s wife.” It’s not wrong to want a wife or a husband, but it is wrong to want someone else’s wife or husband. Second Samuel 11 tells the story of King David and Bathsheba. David saw Bathsheba bathing, asked about her, and discovered that she was the wife of Uriah the Hittite, one of David’s loyal soldiers. David demanded that Bathsheba be brought to him. He coveted her—and thus began his downfall. He committed adultery with her. He arranged for her husband to be killed in battle. He tried to cover it up by lying. David set in motion a series of broken commandments when he coveted. He, like everyone else, discovered that keeping the Ten Commandments is practically impossible. And that’s the point of them. How many of the Ten Commandments have you broken? Have you misused God’s name? Have you failed to honor your father and mother? Have you stolen anything? Have you lied? Have you committed adultery? Have you coveted? If so, you experienced the need to repent and ask God for forgiveness. The Ten Commandments aren’t intended to frustrate us or make us miserable. They’re intended to show us our need for repentance and forgiveness. The Ten Commandments weren’t given to try to make us holy. They were given to show us that we can’t be holy through our own ability. We are all guilty before God. The good news is that when Christ died on the cross, He atoned for every broken commandment. He took our penalty and our punishment on Himself. He died in our place so that we can be forgiven.
