Outline

Introduction: Have you ever said, “I swear…” ?

I. PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE
How do the Pharisees relax the law and damage it in the process?

II. THE EXCEEDINGLY BROAD (AND SIMPLE) COMMANDS OF GOD
How does Jesus broaden (and simplify) the scope of the law and get to the heart of the issue?

III. WHEN GOD SWEARS...
The power of keeping your promises is to know that God keeps His promises, even to His own hurt.

Takeaway: The sufficiency of a simple “Yes” or “No”
