His Name Matters
Description

Are you truly honoring God, or are you taking His name in vain without realizing it? In this powerful installment of the “Set Free to Live” series, Rev. Dwight Fairclough explores why the name of God is so significant.

We dive deep into how the name of God represents the revelation of His true nature and why respecting His name is inseparable from respecting His person. Rev. Fairclough identifies four critical ways His name is misused—from hypocrisy and false representation to manipulation—and reminds us of the severe weight God places on these actions. Discover how the exaltation of the name of Jesus Christ changes our perspective on worship and reverence today.

Focus Scripture: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” — Exodus 20:7

Before God ever gave a command, He gave a deliverance. Pastor Connor explains that we don't obey to get God’s love; we obey because we already have it. At Metropolitan Baptist Church, we explore a God who speaks, saves, and delivers. Learn why your obedience should be fueled by gratitude for what He has already done, rather than a payment for what you hope He will do. Stop trying to earn your way to Heaven and start living in the freedom of being already redeemed.
