April 30th, 2023 | Oath Taking | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

Have you ever sworn on the life of a beloved pet or relative? "I swear on Mr. Fluffybutt's life!" The history of how 'swearing on' something is actually pretty interesting and once you learn about it, its really clear as to why Jesus says that Christian's should not swear on anything. As Christian's, our "yes" should be "yes" and our "no" should be "no". Despite this, we human beings have an incredible capacity to lie - most of the time innocently but sometimes intentionally. We must repent of our default to deception. Listen in this week as Mark unpacks Matthew 5:38-42 and what Jesus says about swearing an oath and how telling the truth fosters deeper and better relationships.
