May 3: Power of the Tongue: Positive – Proverbs 15:23-28 and I Timothy 6:11-16

What we say shapes and molds who we are and what we become. Do you make a positive confession. Do the words that come out of your mouth reflect the graciousness and goodness that God wants to give us? Let’s talk about what the positive words we speak can do.

Sermon Series: WORDS

April 26: Power of the Tongue: Negative – James 3:3-6

The words we use have a great effect on us personally and others socially. What comes out of our mouths is often so toxic and destructive that it destroys and we aren’t even aware of what we’ve done. Let’s look at what the power of words from our tongue are having.
