Thou Shalt Not Steal (Exodus 20:15)

"The whole human race is a band of thieves, and if we were to hang all of them, where shall we find enough ropes to hang them all?” For such a widely unaccepted sin as stealing, can we confidently say we are not guilty? We may be clear on what constitutes an act of theft, but our actual sin may be lying where we least expect it - in our inaction. In this message, Pastor Paul deals with everything that falls under the 8th commandment: what we shouldn’t do, what we should do and how this command is more than “stealing” as we know it. 📄 Follow along with this sermon's transcript: https://www.bethelbpc.com.au/sermon-database/thou-shalt-not-steal 📍 Sermon Outline 00:00 Trailer 01:40 Introduction 04:16 I.
