Workshop Lesson 10
Ten Commandments - Coveting

Memory Verses

The Ninth Commandment
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not scheme to get our neighbor’s inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it.

The Tenth Commandment
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant,
his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbor’s wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty.

Terms to help us understand:

Covet

Loyal

Scheming

Entice



Student Thought Time

  1. What was the last thing you really wanted but couldn’t possess? When might wanting something badly be good?

  2. Look at Luther’s explanation of the ninth commandment. How might coveting and cheating someone be related? How might coveting and gambling be connected?

  3. What besides a physical house might the ninth commandment be talking about?

  4. What does it mean to “urge them to stay and do their duty”?

  5. How is the ninth commandment different from the tenth? How are they similar?

Assignment for the week of January 5, 2005

  • You will need a spiral notebook or three-ring binder specifically to save each Lesson’s assignment and the work accomplished. Your guide may ask to see the work at any time.

  • Faith Story focus for this week:

    • Get a newspaper or news magazine and find examples of people keeping and breaking the 9th & 10th Commandments. Share your observations about what happens when people keep, and when they break, these commandments. Make notes on your findings.

  • Attend weekly worship. Fill out the Worship Notes (available in the narthex) and return them to Nancy Schuett when completed.

Your Faith Story

  At the conclusion of this year, you have the opportunity to compose and share your faith story. Your faith life has been influenced by parents, family, friends, mentors, Sunday School classes, youth group experiences, etc. Take some time over this coming year to write about how these faith life experiences have affected you and your faith. Each week you will be given a thought to think and write about. Write a paragraph and keep it in your spiral notebook or three-ring binder. Each thought will guide you in eventually writing your faith story in February. Show Nancy at least monthly that you are accomplishing these assignments.
