Tell the Truth - Matthew 5:33-37 (Sermon on the Mount Series)

Author: Marci Ferrell: Christian Homemaker, Wife, Mother and Grandmother January 25, 2022 Duration: 25:21
Jesus calls us to be people of the truth and people who keep their word. We need to be people whose yes is yes and whose no is no.  Matthew 5:33-37:  "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil.

In the everyday rhythms of homemaking, where faith meets the practical tasks of family life, Thankful Homemaker: A Christian Homemaking Podcast offers a space for genuine conversation. Hosted by Marci Ferrell, who draws from her own journey as a wife, mother, and grandmother, this podcast is less about presenting perfect methods and more about sharing grace-filled perspectives. You'll hear discussions rooted in scripture, exploring how biblical truth directly shapes the challenges and joys found in managing a home, nurturing relationships, and personal spiritual growth. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat with a friend who understands that this calling is both deeply ordinary and profoundly sacred. The aim is to move beyond surface-level tips to consider how our faith informs everything from daily routines to heart attitudes, fostering a sense of shared purpose and resilience. This is for any woman seeking authentic, gospel-driven encouragement, reminding us that our work within the walls of our homes is meaningful and seen. Tune in for a podcast that consistently points back to the foundation of thankfulness and trust in God's guidance for every aspect of life.
