This Week's Message "Ten Words: Bearing God’s Name" Pastor Jeremy | Exodus 20.7 In this message on Exodus 20.7, we explore what it means to bear God's name in the world. Taking God's name is more than avoiding a curse word--it's about representing His character, reputation, and holiness in everything we say and do. From our words and promises to our motives, worship, and daily conduct, this sermon calls us to live with integrity so that our lives reflect the God we claim to know. As we walk with God, the Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit in our lives, making our love for our neighbor a tangible reality. In case you missed it or would like to listen again you can watch last week’s sermon 👇Watch OnlineSubscribe To Our Podcast Community Prayer We carry each other through the spiritual practice of prayer.
