Welcome to CCF Cebu!

MAY 31, 2026 SERMON SUMMARY

BE TRUTHFUL, WORSHIP THE GOD OF TRUTH

We have all lied at least once in our lives. Lying rarely starts big; it begins in seemingly harmless situations when the truth feels uncomfortable or inconvenient. But when lying is normalized, the truth is compromised, relationships suffer, and trust begins to erode. Because God is truth, true worship means seeking His truth and living with honesty and integrity in both our public and private lives.

TRUTH SETS US FREE

Lying doesn’t fix problems; it only delays the consequences. We may think one lie can bring a quick solution, but in reality, it often leads to a lifetime of maintaining deceit. When we keep deceiving others, we become trapped in fear and can even lose sight of who we are. The truth sets us free because when we surrender to God His unfailing love forgives those who genuinely confess (1 John 1:8–9), And by Jesus’ truth, we are truly set free from the lies that once enslaved us (John 8:31–36).

TRUTH STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS

Truth is the foundation of every healthy relationship. God calls us to speak the truth in love, even when it’s hard (Ephesians 4:15-16). There will be times when we're tempted to hide our mistakes, avoid hard conversations, or conceal our sin. Yet God calls us to bring darkness into the light (Ephesians 5:11–13). When truth is exposed, the power of deception begins to lose its hold, opening the door to healing, restoration, and trust.

TRUTH SAVES

Lives are not transformed by deception but by the truth found in Jesus Christ (John 14:6). When we persist in dishonesty, it reveals a heart that struggles to fully trust and surrender to God. Jesus came to give life, while the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10–11). Choosing truth is choosing the life that Christ offers. To follow the God of truth is to walk in His truth every day. As we grow in honesty, integrity, and love, we reflect His character and help others experience His grace and truth through us.
