Fear, Love, & Trust - 10 Commandments
When you Carry the Name
Today we’re diving into the Second Commandment - and it’s about more than just watching your language. We’ll explore what it means to carry God’s name, not just in what we say, but in how we live. From our prayers to our posts, from our parenting to our priorities - His name is on us. Hear how Jesus bore that name perfectly and what it means for us to live with grace, truth, and integrity. Whether you're new to church or have been here for years, we invite you to join us as we unpack what it means to bear God’s name in a world that desperately needs to see it.
Exodus 20:7
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4. Application: Where is God calling you - in a specific relationship, conversation, or action - to carry His name with more reverence and grace this week?
