In a culture that embraces a wide expression of sexual ethics, the prohibition against adultery is more than simply a call not to cheat on a spouse. It is a call to a kind of relationship that promotes human flourishing and becomes a source of blessing that reflects God's Kingdom. Breaking this command can open the door to a host of consequences—not only personally, but socially and even societally.
There is something about sexual intimacy that goes far beyond carnal pleasure. If marriage is a gift from God, what does Jesus have to say about the command, "Do not commit adultery" and how can we encourage our brothers and sisters to live out their sexual ethics in a way that reflects the Kingdom of God?

Do not steal. Simple enough, right? But what if stealing meant feeding your family? Surely that is understandable… But what if you lived in a community where you never had to steal in the first place?

Tune in to today's episode to hear how the cultural idiom "finders keepers" is at odds with God's kingdom ethic, and how the rich may actually steal more from the poor than Robin Hood would have you think!
