MESSAGE NOTES

Say What? | Part 3

My words please God when they are spoken in the right ____________ (tone), with the right ________________ (tenor) and at the right ______________ (timing). The right word at the right time is like a custom-made piece of jewelry, and a wise friend’s timely reprimand is like a gold ring slipped on your finger. Proverbs 25:11-12 (The Message) Congenial conversation—what a pleasure! The right word at the right time—beautiful! Proverbs 15:23 (The Message) How can my words be timely? 1. Like Jesus, be _________________________________________. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful…Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:2, 6 (NIV) 2. Like Jesus, be _________________________________________. You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger…If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. James 1:19, 26 (NRSV)

God’s Vision for Grace Church: To partner with God in transforming people from unbelievers to fully devoted disciples of Jesus to the glory of God.
