This week in our Top Ten series, Pastor Brandon dives into the 9th Commandment “You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:16). In a world swirling with half-truths and spin, God calls His people to live lives of truth, integrity, and encouragement.
Key Scriptures:
Exodus 20:16 – “You must not testify falsely…”
Proverbs 18:21 – “The tongue can bring death or life…”
Ephesians 4:25 & 4:29 – Speak truth and build up others.
John 8:32 – “The truth will set you free.”
Sermon Highlights:
Tell the Truth – Truth-telling isn't optional for God’s people.
God Values Truth and Integrity – Reflect His character in what you say.
Words Build or Break – What we speak has power.
Avoid the Spin Cycle – Speak truth plainly and lovingly.
Integrity Protects Others – Honesty guards relationships and reflects Christ.
Whether in the courtroom or the conversation, the truth matters to God and it should matter to us. Let’s be a church known for our honesty, encouragement, and the freedom that comes from living in the truth.
