The Third Word

In this sermon on the third commandment, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain,” we discover that this command is about far more than avoiding irreverent phrases. It’s about how we bear the name of the Lord in all of life. As children of God, we represent Him to the world—through our worship, our work, our words, and our witness. Jesus perfectly bore the name of the Father, and through Him, we are empowered to do the same. This message unpacks the meaning of the commandment, the glory of God's name, and the Spirit’s power to help us live as those who carry the name of Christ with honor.
