Notes

THE POWER OF OUR SPEECH

Our “words” are evidence of our faith just like our “actions”

1. The Power of Our Speech

• The Power to Direct

• The Power to Destroy!

2. The Problem of Our Speech

• It’s Untamable

• It’s Inconsistent

• It’s Contrary to Nature

HOW CAN WE CHANGE OUR SPEECH?

• Become a follower of Christ (a new heart)

• Walk by the Holy Spirit (a new direction)

• Think before you speak … Is It True? Kind? Necessary?

• Pray
