This week we begin a new series discussing the weight of our words. We will focus particularly on speaking weighty words. We have the words of Scripture, which are the most important words to read and speak. But we’ve all had the experience of listening to someone teach or preach Scripture and we feel as though listening to them is optional. Their words are weightless.
So what gives weight to a person’s words? It is the fact they have been entrusted by God. In this series, John Snyder will be joined by Teddy James to discuss what makes a person trustworthy with God’s messages. This is something special that goes beyond hermeneutics. It is a particular help that only comes after we have done the hard work of studying and applying Scripture to our lives.
Can your family, your church, your community afford to have you speak good and true things but without the weight and effectiveness that only God can give? The simple answer is no. But how do we pursue that gifting from God?
