BIG IDEA
Wise Words Give Life to Others
SERMON OUTLINE
- Stop
- Pray

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Describe a time when you were hurt by words (don’t name names!).
- Talk about your word habits with these people: co-workers, friends, spouse, boy/girlfriend, kids.
- As you think about your hurtful word habits, what do you believe is your real heart issue in those cases? Has it changed at all in the last three months?
- Describe a time when someone used “life-giving” words to you. How did that change the situation?
- Pastor Steve suggested we use the Stop, Pray, Think process to help us use wise words. Do you believe this process can be helpful for you? Is it reasonable to believe we can make long-lasting, heart-level change without God’s help?
NEXT STEPS
- I will apologize to for hurtful words I said to him/her.
- I will choose to give life with my words in my conversations this week.
