August 17, 2025‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬-‭32‬ ‭ESV‬‬“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”Big Idea: Even though we are a sinful people, God has invited us to participate in extending His kingdom. Our primary tool for this Divine mandate is the spoken word. The words that we speak not only reveal the condition of our hearts, but we also use them to affirm or corrupt one another.
