I Pinky Swear Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Nov 13, 2014

To often we take vows, pledges and promises way to lightly. We are assured that God doesn't.

Promises Are Meant To Be Kept

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 5, 2012

Promises are not made to be broken. They are meant to be kept. God keeps His. He expects us to keep ours.

Ic3a]: Israel In The Wilderness Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2020

Today's lesson concerns the exodus from Egypt and the Israelites’ unbelief. Because of their neglect to hear God’s message they delayed at the border. Because the people went backward in unbelief, instead of foreword in faith, they missed their inheritance and died in the wilderness.

Legal Counsel For Christians Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 4, 2023

Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more

Living In The Kingdom 10 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 20, 2022

In Part 10 of this series we examine what Jesus said about making an oath. In this message we see that as a Christian our word should be our bond - it should be proof enough of our intention or past actions. We should never have to make an oath to ensure someone believes what we are saying.

Matthew 5 – Part 17 – What Is So Wrong With Swearing? Everyone Does It! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 7, 2010

Why is the F*** word and and the Sh** word used so freely today? Jesus doesn’t directly include this in what He says about oaths in Matthew 5 but it is there by way of application and other passages enlarge on this area of sin, so I am taking a detour.
