Controlling Your Talk and Your Walk | Colossians 4:2–6

Speech matters. The words we use—how we talk to God and how we talk to people—shape the way others see Christ in us. In this message from Colossians 4:2–6, Paul gives final instructions to the church, reminding us that both our prayers and our conversations carry eternal weight.

Together we’ll see:

- Why prayer is the starting point of all our speech

- What it means to pray with devotion, watchfulness, and thanksgiving

- How Paul’s example teaches us to pray for opportunities to share the gospel

- Why our walk (daily conduct) gives credibility to our words

- How gracious, truthful, and “seasoned with salt” speech reflects Christ to the world

Whether you’re a longtime believer or just exploring faith, this passage challenges us to honor Christ not only with what we say but also with how we live. Our lives and our lips together proclaim the good news of Jesus.
