Sermon

A Word to the Wise, Part 2

March 17, 2013 Mike MinterSermonsProverbs

Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Words are a signature of the soul, and the weight and power our words carry is directly proportional to the relationship you have with that person. Do you use your words wisely?

  3. How have you personally seen or experienced the power of words and speech in a positive way? In a negative way?
  4. "Words are the signature of the soul." Can you think of any examples where you've observed this?
  5. How can intellect and wisdom be at odds regarding how we use our words?
  6. How does the Gospel help us grow in wisdom in how we use our words?
  7. Who is someone you can impact in a positive way this week though the power of your words?  Share with your small group and plan to follow up on this the next time you meet together.
