The Weight Of Words, The Power Of Promise

Key Points


Words are foundational to existence and have power beyond mere
speech


Jesus is the Word (Logos) incarnate, the source of all creation
and truth


Our words, thoughts, and actions define our character and
spiritual state


Repentance involves changing our mind and aligning with God's
truth


The Bible is a direct way to understand God's mind and will


We must be cautious of teachings that elevate human will over
God's sovereignty


True faith is submission to God's will, not commanding God or
"manifesting" our desires


As GOD spoke light to the darkness, disorder and chaos, we
rehearse the same w the Gospel





Discussion


Words are unimaginably powerful. Share an example from your own
life where words had a significant impact on you or someone else.


How does understanding Jesus as the "Logos" (the Word) change
your perspective on creation and your relationship with Him?


What we allow into our hearts through our ears and eyes is
important. How mindful are you of the media and influences you
consume? What changes might you need to make?


Discuss the difference between the "Word of Faith" movement and
true biblical faith. Why is it important to distinguish between
the two?


What challenges do you face in surrendering your own desires to
God?


How does the concept of being "in the name of Christ" (walking in
righteousness and harmony with Jesus) challenge or encourage you
in your daily life?





Application


Media Fast: Choose one form of media (social media, TV, music,
etc.) to fast from for a week. Replace that time with reading
Scripture or listening to worship music.


Word Watch: For the next week, pay close attention to the words
you speak. At the end of each day, reflect on how your speech
aligned with God's Word.


Bible Reading Plan: Commit to reading a chapter of the Bible each
day, focusing on passages about God's character and promises.


Encouragement Challenge: Each day this week, use your words to
genuinely encourage at least one person, reflecting Christ's love
through your speech.
