Weekend Service for October 5Scripture Readings: Deuteronomy 6:6-9 / Psalm 19:14Every day, the words we choose shape the atmosphere of our homes and the hearts of those around us. God calls us to be true and pure, using words that empower and uplift, whether we are at home, at work, or alone with Him. Just as the soundtrack in a house sets the mood, the language we use creates the culture in which our families grow. The words we speak are a reflection of our hearts, and ultimately, of Christ at work within us. Psalm 19 reminds us that creation itself proclaims God’s glory without a sound, and that the instructions of the Lord revive the soul and bring joy to the heart. Our words, like God’s, should be life-giving, affirming, and rooted in truth.We have the privilege and responsibility to set the “soundtrack” of our homes. Our children mirror what they hear and see in us, and the legacy we leave is built day by day through the habits we form. Life-giving words are not just positive phrases, but affirmations of identity, reminders of God’s promises, and declarations of love and value. These words point our families toward Christ and help them understand that they are deeply loved and never alone. It takes intentionality and daily effort to build a culture of blessing and encouragement, but the impact is profound and lasting.Scripture calls us to pass on the truths of God to the next generation, not hiding His deeds but telling of His power and wonders. The legacy we build is not just for our children, but for generations yet unborn. In a world where many struggle with belonging and self-worth, we have the opportunity to be thermostats—those who set the spiritual climate—rather than mere thermometers who only reflect it. By choosing to speak life, we create an environment where Christ is at the center, and where our families can flourish in His love. The choice is ours: to focus on the negative, or to intentionally set our homes toward Christ, using words that give life and hope.[00:00] Welcome[00:23] The Power of Everyday Words[01:11] The Soundtrack of Your Home[02:21] Psalm 19: Words that Reflect God[03:29] God’s Instructions Revive the Soul[05:13] Seeing God’s Beauty in Creation[06:01] Our Children as Mirrors[07:11] Jesus at the Center of Our Words[08:01] Life-Giving Phrases for the Home[09:26] Blessings, Forgiveness, and Gratitude[10:21] Making Blessing a Habit[11:46] Choosing to Speak Life[12:16] The Legacy of Our Words[14:10] Passing Faith to the Next Generation[15:57] The Crisis of Belonging[17:00] Thermostat vs. Thermometer[18:36] Setting the Spiritual Climate[19:39] - Prayer and Commitment
