This sermon takes an honest look at dishonesty—how even the “little lies” we tell can break trust, hurt relationships, and pull us away from who God calls us to be. Using the story of Ananias and Sapphira, we are reminded that lying is never harmless and that truth is what connects us to Jesus, the One who is truth itself. It’s a straightforward, eye-opening message about why honesty matters in real life, not just in theory.

Pastor Roscoe also shares a real and vulnerable story about facing a financial crisis in a church building project, showing how tough it can be to stay truthful when the pressure is on. The message encourages listeners to drop the act, be authentic, and let God work with who they really are—not the version they pretend to be. In the end, it’s a strong call to integrity: to be people whose words mean something and whose lives reflect the freedom and protection that come from choosing truth over deception.
