Proverbs | Watch Your Words | How Proverbs Teaches Us to Speak Life, Not Lies

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me…” That’s not true—and you know it. Words stick. They shape how we see ourselves, others, and even God.
In this week’s message, Pastor Steven unpacks powerful truths from Proverbs 15 and beyond, showing how the Bible calls us to something better:
🔹 To speak life, not lies
🔹 To use our words with honesty, kindness, clarity, and restraint
🔹 To see how our words reflect what’s in our hearts
🔹 To let God’s Word define us—not the voices of our critics

Whether you’ve been hurt by words—or you’ve been careless with yours—there’s hope. God’s Word heals. Jesus spoke with unmatched grace and truth, and He invites us to do the same.

📖 Key Texts: Proverbs 15:1-4, Proverbs 12:18, Matthew 12:34, John 7:46
