“Strengthening the Truth?” (Lutjens)
Sunday Sermon (Matthew 5:33-37)
We live in a society that counts on the power of the oath to hold us to our word. Who hasn’t made a promise, “cross my heart and hope to die?” In the sermon series on the Gospel According to Matthew, Ron Lutjens explores Jesus’ injunction against taking up meaningless oaths. He shows us that instead of needing to be held to what we say we are going to do by the formality of an oath, kingdom Christians should be of the character to keep their word, for God’s sake.
