Are you tired of chasing things that never seem to satisfy?. In this message, CJ Ward breaks down the final commandment in the Decalogue: "You shall not covet.". Far from being a rule about behavior, this is a diagnostic tool for our hearts. When we desire things we do not have, we lose contentment for the things we do have.

In this video, you will learn:

• Why Coveting is Different: Why this is the only commandment focused on a feeling rather than an action.

• The "Mordor" Effect: How desire, when left unchecked, becomes a consuming fire that burns up our peace.

• The Created Purpose: Why you were built for a relationship with an eternal God, not for finite material gain.

• Breaking the Cycle: How the cross of Jesus tore the veil, making the relationship with God accessible to you today.

Scripture: Exodus 20:17.
