Sermon – 9th Commandment: Truth Worth Living

This past Sunday, August 30, as our Lead Minister, Tom Gerdts, was out of town on vacation.  I was called to fill in on preaching.  We are wrapping up our “Law & Order” series on the Ten Commandments, and I was given the ninth.  The Scripture says that, “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor” (Ex. 20:16 NIV).  However, I believe God was merely scratching the surface here to the deeper issue of lying.  Instead of believing all the lies we hear and participating in them, we should instead model truth and tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  If you feel up for it, take a listen.
