In this Message Pastor Les Teaches on the third commandment “Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.” It’s more than words—it’s about how we live and represent God. From Acts 19, we see the sons of Sceva try to use Jesus’ name without knowing Him. The lesson? Authority in His name comes only through intimacy with Him. We carry God’s name in vain through complacency, compromise, mixture, hypocrisy, and powerlessness. Taking His name isn’t about empty speech—it’s about identity. When we misuse His name, it’s identity theft. When we honor it with reverence and obedience, We steward His name and Represent Him rightly  The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com
