Matthew 5:33-37

Listen to Matthew 5:33-37

Oaths

33 "Again, you have heard what was said to your people long ago. They were told, 'Do not break the promises you make to the Lord. Keep the oaths you have made to him.'
34 But here is what I tell you. Do not make any promises like that at all. Do not make them in the name of heaven. That is God's throne.
35 Do not make them in the name of the earth. That is the stool for God's feet. Do not make them in the name of Jerusalem. That is the city of the Great King.
36 And do not take an oath in the name of your head. You can't make even one hair white or black.
37 "Just let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes.' Let your 'No' mean 'No.' Anything more than this comes from the evil one.

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!”
