The Ten Commandments: A Biblical Theology of God's Name

Taking the Lord's name in vain is about more than just speech. Mark Vance and Emily Jensen unpack the Third Commandment and show how it’s about more than avoiding certain words—it’s about living as representatives of God in the world.Together, they discuss how God’s people carry his name, what it means to bear that name well, and how this commandment speaks directly into everyday life—from the words we speak to the way we act as his witnesses.Episode Highlights:00:00 — Introducing the Third Commandment04:20 — Why it’s about more than just “not cussing”10:45 — Bearing God’s name as His representatives17:30 — Everyday examples of carrying God’s name in our lives24:50 — How this commandment shapes our witness todayResources:Cornerstone Church Sermons: Listen onlineThe Unseen Realm by Michael HeiserAsk Mark a Question!Suggest a topic or question for Mark to discuss on a future episode of the Equip Podcast!
