RELATIONSHIPS :: It's Complicated // The Power of Words - "What did you say?!"

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Ephesians 4 (Genesis 1:3, 20, 24 & 26; 3:1; John 1:1 & 14; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 8:6; 10:17; Proverbs 15:1-2; 18:6 & 21; Ephesians 4:2-3, 15, 26-27, 29-30 & 32; 5:25; 6:1 & 4; Luke 6:45)

 

Relationships were created by God to make us better, bring glory to God, and fulfill the mission of God. God gave us a powerful tool to build relationships…words!

We probably don’t think of words as being a tool, but they were created by God to bring us together. What complicates relationships is when we use this tool to hurt rather than build. Relationships have been destroyed because of how we use our words, in the wrong way.

Do you use your words to bring glory to God? Do you use your words to help others? You might be surprised to discover what God has commanded concerning words and relationships.
