The Ninth Commandment - HC

The Ninth Commandment

Feb 22, 2026

Preacher: Clint Pressley

Series: Exodus

Summary:

What does it mean to be truthful in a world of filters, artificial intelligence, and casual deception? Pastor Clint tackles the ninth commandment's prohibition against bearing false witness, revealing its deeper implications for Christian living in 2026. Drawing from Exodus 20:16 and Matthew 5:33-37, he shows how this ancient command speaks powerfully to our modern crisis of truth. Beyond simply avoiding lies, Pastor Clint challenges believers to examine their daily conversations for subtle violations like exaggeration and gossip, offering practical questions to filter our speech: Is it intentionally detrimental? Is it helpful? Is it encouraging? The sermon culminates in Jesus's radical call to let our yes be yes and our no be no, reminding us that our words aren't just about personal integrity—they reflect the holiness of God and the truth of the Gospel we proclaim. For Christians navigating today's complex world, the message is clear: our witness depends not just on believing the truth, but speaking and living it in every interaction.

Outline:

What We Say and How We Live Must Reflect the Truth We Believe.

  1. With Our Words We Establish Our Witness.  Eph 4:29

  2. With Our Words We Value Other People.
