Jesus & The Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:33-37

In Pastor Jeff Hollis' sermon on Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus teaches that His followers are to be people of complete honesty, not just careful oath-makers. Confronting the Pharisees' misuse of vows to avoid accountability, Jesus makes clear that God is sovereign over all things and present in every word we speak. Rather than relying on elaborate promises, Jesus calls His people to such integrity that a simple "yes" or "no" is enough. This passage reminds us that truth reflects the character of God, while deception aligns with evil, and invites believers, already secure in God's grace, to live as people whose words and lives consistently reflect Jesus, who is Truth, Himself.
