WORDS THAT HURT….WORDS THAT HEAL…A CHALLENGE FOR ALL OF US….

Joseph Telushkin has written a book entitled, Words That Hurt, Words That Heal. In workshops he asks his audience if they can go 24 hours without using unkind words. He gets various responses. He says, "If you cannot go for 24 hours without drinking liquor, you are addicted to alcohol. Similarly, if you cannot go for 24 hours without saying unkind words about others you are addicted to unkindness."

 

CONCLUSION OF SUNDAY’S SERMON… THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS….PETER THE ROCK

1. GOD’S CALL DOES NOT DEPEND ON WHOM, WHAT YOU ARE OR WHO YOUR FAMILY MAYBE… IT HE WHO SEE THE POTENTIAL  IN YOU FOR THE KINGDOM WORK
    
2. THE PAST FAILURES AND PROBLEMS CANNOT KEEP YOU FROM FUTURE USAGE BY GOD
    
3. FAILURE IS NO REASON TO KEEP BEATING YOURSELF UP…ACCEPT AND LIVE IN GOD’S FORGIVENESS
4. IN BROKENNESS THERE IS HEALING STRENGTH
    
5. YOUR LIFE, LIKE PETERS CAN BE AN ENCOURAGEMENT…PETER PRAYED….WROTE AND …CARED FOR THOSE WHO SUFFERED…
    
   MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU…
   MAY YOU KNOW HIS POWERFUL GRACE EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY!!!!
    
   GOD BLESS YOU!!!
    
   SEE YA SUNDAY!!!
