This Week at Our Perdido Key Campus Senior Pastor Kyle Valaer continues our new short sermon series titled “Proverbs: The Way of Wisdom.” This series will explore selected passages from the book of Proverbs, offering practical insights for daily living through God’s wisdom. We hope this resource is a blessing to you. For more information about the Point Church, please visit us online at www.tothepoint.church.
God’s purpose is bigger than you avoiding some four-letter words.
Our words should be true.
- Proverbs 6:12 says, “A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech.
- Proverbs 17:20 says, “A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.”
Our words should build others up.
- Proverbs 12:18 says, “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
Our words should be measured.
- Proverbs 15:28 says, “The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
Our words should be few.
- Proverbs 10:19 says, “When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.”
- Proverbs 13:3 says, “Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.”
In Jesus, we see the powerful, wise, and gracious speech of God in human form.
