In this message from the 10x series, Rev. Caz Minter explores the Third Commandment and uncovers a deeper meaning behind reverence for God’s name. Rather than reducing the command to avoiding certain words or phrases, this sermon invites us to see that God’s people are called to bear His name in the world. Drawing from Exodus 3 and Exodus 20, the message highlights the holiness of God’s revealed name and the remarkable truth that God claims His people as His own. Because we carry His name, every part of life becomes an opportunity to reflect His character through our relationships, work, decisions, speech, and witness. Reverence is not merely what we say about God, but how faithfully we represent Him in the everyday moments of life. As followers of Jesus, we are invited to embrace both the privilege and responsibility of belonging to God, living in a way that blesses others and points them toward His goodness. May you walk boldly in the assurance that you are claimed by God and faithfully bear His name wherever He sends you.
