Learning to Live Without Lying: Study 05, Learning to Live Without
24-05-2026
by Rev. Peter Evans
Passage: Matthew 5:33-37 & Colossians 3:1-10
Series: Learning to Live Without
Duration: 26:37

Learning to Live Without Lying: Study 5 in the 10-part Series "Learning to Live Without", a Deep Dive into the Sermon on the Mount.

Big Idea: We lie when disconnected from God's kingdom and are unsure of our protection, identity and care, but in His kingdom we learn to speak truth in love.

  1. Why oaths existed … and what went wrong
  2. Why we lie … Getting to the heart
    • Fear and Desire
    • False Narrative
    • We lie because we don't trustworthy
    The Gospel: Jesus, the one who told the truth
    • Jesus told the truth, paid for it, and was raised because of it
    • We are known completely
    • We are loved completely
    Learning to speak truth in love
    • Notice your lies
    • Practice plain speech
    • Root your truth-telling in the gospel
  3. The paradox of honesty

Passage: Matthew 5:27-30 & John 4:1-26
Series: Learning to Live Without
Duration: 26:48

Learning to Live Without Lust: Study 4 in the 10-part Series "Learning to Live Without", a Deep Dive into the Sermon on the Mount.

Big Idea: Lust is the creation of a false image that we worship, trying to fill a deep need for intimacy which can only be satisfied in union with God and his church.

  1. The thirsty soul.
    • The world we live in.
    • What Jesus actually said.
    • The real problem ... the real cure.
    • Lust is a spiritual hunger that has lost its way.
  2. The woman at the well.
    • A word about pornography.
    • You are not beyond the reach of living water.
    • This is not a battle to fight alone.
  3. The old yoke and the new yoke.
  4. So what do we do?
    • What is the real thirst?
    • Are you drinking from the right well?
    • Who are you bringing this to?
