MESSAGE NOTES

GRACE NEWS Say What? | Part 1

A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense. God doesn’t miss a thing—he’s alert to good and evil alike. Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim. Proverbs 15:1-4 (The Message) How can the tone of my words bring out the best in people and glorify God? 1. Ask God _______________________________________________________________. But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Psalm 19:12 (NIV) 2. Confess to God _____________________________________________. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. Psalm 19:13 (NIV) 3. Allow God _____________________________________________________________. May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14 (NIV)
