Change Your Words, Change Your World

What the Bible has to say about the importance of your words

Wednesday night I felt called by God to do a message on words. I dug on my computer that night and managed to find a sermon outline I had made in 2006. I had so many positive comments in response to this message, and I felt it would be good to review this message as a complete church family today. The simple fact is that changing your words you speak over your life is often all you need to massively change your world. The things in your life you are unsatisfied with could be the result of the words you are speaking. Understanding what the Bible has to say about words is crucial for the Christian's life.

Framing Your World with God's Word

December 27, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Proverbs 18:21

I would like to share out of the book of Proverbs 18:21. It says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Whether you realize it or not, you got saved because of the power of words. The tongue produces not only words, but also makes an impact and brings about what we speak. Some people may want to exclude some details and say only life is in the power of the tongue, but the Bible is clear that where the tongue can bring about life it can also cause destruction.

Be a Shepherd

December 24, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Luke 2:8–20

The shepherds are a central element of the Christmas story. They came from the fields hoping to see Christ through earnest desire of seeking God, and were rewarded for their effort. But in addition to coming and seeing, they went out and told others about what they said seen, proclaiming Christ. The believer should desire to be like a shepherd in these two regards: we should seek Christ, and speak Christ to others.

The Christmas Story

December 20, 2023 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Luke 1—2

It is important to not let the familiar Christmas story become dull to one and fail to hear the great insights contained. Tonight, I'd like to talk over some points of interest and obtain biblical truths from the iconic moments known by billions around the world. In this story we observe a variety of attributes of God displayed, his providence in organizing the events, and his bringing of the shepherds to be among the first to take in the Christ child. A truly amazing story that would change the world forever.
