JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. I am always amazed at the power of words. The words that we use with one another have the power to build up others in their most difficult of moments. The words that we use can also be used to tear down a person’s self confidence and sense of accomplishment.

Jesus said in Matthew 12:34 that from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Jesus was trying to tell us that the words that come from our mouth are directly connected to the condition of one’s heart.

If you are using your words to build up and to encourage, then your heart is the right place. If you are using your words to tear down and destroy the peace of others, then your heart is in need of renewal.

I hope today that you will watch the words that you share with others and intentionally use their power to lift others up. I assure you that a good word has more power than you will ever realize. Come connect with us at Central this week.
