Simply Yes or No – A Call to Integrity
📖 Matthew 5:33–37
🗓️ Part of our “Sermon on the Mount” series
What does it mean to live with real, everyday integrity? Is honesty something we turn on and off depending on the situation—or is it something deeper, more spiritual?
This week, Pastor Adam dives into Jesus’ powerful teaching in Matthew 5:33–37, where we’re challenged to let our “yes” be yes and our “no” be no. In a world full of fine print, loopholes, and broken promises, Jesus calls His followers to be people whose words match their hearts. People who don’t need extra oaths or flowery language to be trusted—just a life of consistent, humble integrity.
💬 From Used Car Lessons to Eternal Truth
Pastor Adam shares a hilarious and humbling story about buying a “luxury” car in college that turned out to be… not so luxurious. It’s a funny reminder of how easily words can be twisted to sound sincere, even when they’re not. That same danger still exists in our world today—and even in our own hearts.
🌎 Why This Message Matters
We don’t just have a truth problem. We have a trust problem.This message looks at:
How religious leaders in Jesus’ time manipulated words for personal gain
Why Jesus stripped away the games and got to the heart of the issue
What it means to be a person of integrity in every space—home, work, online, and in church
Why dishonesty is more than bad behavior—it’s a reflection of our heart and our view of God
🧭 Key Takeaways:
God is not playing your game. There are no house rules or half-truths in the Kingdom.
Integrity means wholeness. The same person in public and in private.
Integrity is practice, not performance. It's how we live when no one is looking.
🙌 The Good News:Jesus didn’t just preach integrity—He lived it. He is the Truth (John 14:6), and through Him, we’re not only forgiven for our failures—we’re empowered to live changed lives.
📖 “Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.” – Ephesians 4:25 (NKJV)
