Edify – Week 1
February 5, 2023
Key Scriptures
Key Points
- Our words can build up or tear down.
- God wants us to speak love to build up those in the Body of Christ.
- Isaiah was repentant for his and his people’s unclean lips. God purified him with a burning coal, atoned for the sin, and sent him.
- Born-again believers need to refrain and repent from perverse (rotten) talk and speak grace as it fits the occasion.
- Speaking the truth in love includes correction. Correction is also a means of grace
Discussion Questions
- How would you evaluate your tendencies? Are you more of a criticizer, judge, or encourager?
- In your own words, how does love build up?
- Have you been hurt or wounded by others’ words?
- Who do you know that needs to be encouraged right now? What is your next step?
