Your Words Your Bond

This sermon from Matthew 5:33–37 teaches that Christians should be known for their honesty and integrity, making every word they speak trustworthy—whether or not it’s part of a formal oath. Jesus confronts the habit of using oaths to excuse dishonesty and calls His followers to a higher standard where “yes” means “yes” and “no” means “no.” The sermon challenges believers to reflect God's character by being truthful in both big and small matters, showing that everyday honesty matters deeply to God and powerfully impacts how others see Christ through us.
