The message focuses on Matthew 5:33–37 and Jesus’ teaching about oaths within the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew, writing to a largely Jewish-Christian audience, emphasizes Jesus as King and the character of His advancing kingdom.


In this section, Jesus challenges the traditional practice of swearing oaths to prove one’s honesty, teaching instead that kingdom people should be so truthful that oaths become unnecessary.
