Matthew 5:33-37

Listen to Matthew 5:33-37
33 "Again, 1you have heard that the ancients were told, '2YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.'
34 "But I say to you, 3make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is 4the throne of God,
35 or by the earth, for it is the 5footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is 6THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.
36 "Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot * make one hair white or black.
37 "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes ' or 'No, no '; anything beyond these is of 7evil.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire
Liar Liar Pants on Fire
Bishop James E. Collins

In this bold and convicting message titled “Liar… Liar, Pants on Fire,” Bishop James E. Collins pulls no punches as he tackles the spiritual dangers of deception — both the lies we tell and the lies we believe. Drawing from Scripture and real-life application, Bishop Collins reveals how dishonesty disrupts relationships, damages our witness, and distances us from God's truth.With clarity, compassion, and conviction, Bishop Collins calls the Church back to integrity, reminding us that God is a God of truth and those who follow Him must walk in truth — even when it costs.

Don't Swear Part 2
Don't Swear Part 2
Jeff Johnson

From the dad who promises his kids he’d take them to the ballgame and doesn’t, to the couple that vows from death do us part but ends up divorcing… many people today don’t take promises or vows seriously.  God certainly does as we’ll hear today on Sound Doctrine.  We’ll hear that it’s important to do what we say we’ll do, and follow through with our vows.  If we can’t do that, don’t swear to begin with!  Join us in Matthew chapter five as we listen in to part two of Jeff Johnson’s message, “Don’t Swear!”
