Bears Repeating. "Words Matter"



Words are why you think what you think about yourself and everything. They are the shape of every thought you have! So you might as well pay attention to them.

Spend some time as a group reminding yourselves, as we must often do when it comes to our mouths, the power of our words to do good and harm.


Thaw
  • What is something someone said to you at a young age that has stuck with you the most?
  • How do those words shape your current behavior?

Read and discuss each
  • Proverbs 18:21
  • Matthew 12:34
  • Proverbs 26:18
  • Proverbs 15:1
  • Proverbs 12:18
  • Proverbs 16:24
  • Ephesians 4:29

Apply
  • What are some ways you have learned to speak with less regret in your life?
  • How do you ready yourself for others whose words are reckless and unmeasured?
  • How has pre-determining to go into any given scenario as a listener helped you, and are there any opportunities coming up where you can prepare to listen more than to speak?
