The Third Commandment

In this sermon Mr. Smith continues his sermon series on the Ten Commandments that he began with two sermons in November. In this sermon he covers the third commandment by first showing the meanings of the key words in the commandment and then reviews many of the names of God given in the Bible. He finishes the sermon by pointing out that as members of God's church, this commandment applies to how we represent God not only in our words but also in our actions.
