Listen to Matthew 5:33-37

33 iterum audistis quia dictum est antiquis non peierabis reddes autem Domino iuramenta tua

34 ego autem dico vobis non iurare omnino neque per caelum quia thronus Dei est

35 neque per terram quia scabillum est pedum eius neque per Hierosolymam quia civitas est magni Regis

36 neque per caput tuum iuraveris quia non potes unum capillum album facere aut nigrum

37 sit autem sermo vester est est non non quod autem his abundantius est a malo est

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

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!”
