Resurrection Discipleship | God Doesn’t Believe You Either

“Fake News Isn’t Just Out There. It’s in You”

May 25, 2025

Matthew 5:33-37

Sixth Sunday of Easter

Rev. Teer Hardy

The fake news we are most tempted to believe is not about others. It is about ourselves.

That if the truth came out, we would be abandoned.

Exposed.

So we lie.

We spin.

We control the narrative.

And Jesus says, “You do not have to do that anymore.”

The resurrection of Christ, promised to us, tells the truth about us.

And thanks be to God, because it is worse than we thought but still more hopeful than we imagined.

At the end of the day, “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no,” is about trust. Not just people trusting you but also us trusting God enough to stop performing.

Jesus says, “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.”

Because his yes, spoken from the cross and shouted from the empty tomb, has already been declared over you.
