Confidence out of Confusion
Job 14:14, 19:25-26 April 4, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) Modern-day living can certainly be a confusing and confounding experience! However, there is a lesson that you can learn from one who lived long ago, that ancient man of the Bible—Job. Job had everything going for himself—family, friends, and finances. Yet, when all of these were taken away he experienced massive amounts of personal confusion, which lead to self-doubt, self-pity, and extensive soul-searching. In the midst of Job’s personal despair he asks...

Deuteronomy 5:19 March 21 and 28, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) We come now to the 8th Commandment which reads, “And you shall not steal” (Deuteronomy 5:19). At the heart of this commandment is the admonition in both the Old Testament Law (Leviticus 19:18) and the New Testament Gospels (Matthew 22:37-40), that “you shall love your neighbor as yourself”. Indeed, the whole second table of the Law (Commandment’s #5-10) deals with the injunction to “love your neighbor as yourself”. Thus, it is fundamental to the...

“The 7th Commandment: You Shall Not Commit Adultery” (Parts 1-2) Deuteronomy 5:18 & 1 Peter 3:1-7 March 7th and 14th, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) Both Christians and non-Christians alike would readily admit that the family is under attack in the world in which we currently live. Academics of a more liberal persuasion are urgently trying to redefine the family, primarily so that it can be used as a tool for rapid social change. The problem with this effort to redefine the family is that God is the one who...

read moreThe 6th Commandment and Anger
“The 6th Commandment and Anger” Matthew 5:21-26 February 14, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) Our Lord takes the 6th Commandment to an entirely new level in this potent passage from the Sermon on the Mount. Whereas the Jewish Rabbis taught that the 6th Commandment was only an external standard, Jesus instructed his disciples that it was an internal standard as well. In other words, if you even contemplated murderous thoughts then you were guilty of breaking the 6th Commandment. This was a shocking development for...

“You Shall Not Murder” Deuteronomy 5:17 February 7, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) Two weeks ago thousands of American citizens gathered together to recall a notorious decision by the United States Supreme Court regarding abortion on demand (Roe vs. Wade, January 23, 1973). It is hard for me to believe that we have endured this wicked judicial action for over thirty-seven years! For the Christian, then, what does the Bible say about taking another person’s life? It is clearly forbidden in God’s Law (cf. Exodus...

“The 5th Commandment: Honor Your Father and Mother” (Part 1) Deuteronomy 5:16 January 24, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) In the first table of the Law (Commandments 1-4) we learned about we should relate to our holy God. Now as we come to the second table of the Law (Commandments 5-10) we learn about how we should relate to one another. Specifically, how would the Lord have us treat our parents, and our superiors? The answer is clearly stated in the Bible (cf. Exod. 20:12; Deut. 5:16; Eph. 6:1-3). However, there...

“Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy” Isaiah 58:13-14 January 10, 2010 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) How do you and your family observe the Sabbath day week by week? The answer to this question throughout the history of Christ’s Church has generally evoked two opposite extremes—license and legalism. License, or doing whatever you wish, leads to an apathetic attitude regarding the 4th Commandment. Legalism, or the observing of special rules and regulations to justify yourself, leads to a rigorous and austere attitude...

Deuteronomy 5:11 December 27, 2009 Pastor Marcus J. Serven Covenant Family Church (RPCGA) Bible Text: “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” Deuteronomy 5:11 Introduction: Many Christians are exposed to blasphemous remarks directed against our Lord on a daily basis. Whether it may be at work with the cursing of a co-worker, at a family celebration with an uncouth relative, or in your own home with a movie or book containing some profanity, people wrongly...
