Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. Amen, amen. You may be seated. I want to encourage us all today to be bucket fillers.

What's a bucket filler?

A bucket filler is someone who is willing to make deposits, positive deposits, in the life of other people.

Not only with their words, but with their actions.

See, a bucket filler is someone who is willing to give.

There's too many bucket dippers in this world.

Too many bucket dippers.

What's a bucket dipper?

A bucket dipper is someone who dips out of the emotional bank of others

with harsh words and criticism.

Someone who dips out of the emotional bank of others with harsh words and criticism. Someone who dips out of the life of other people.

You see, the thing about bucket dippers, bucket dippers don't even realize that they're depleting

their own bucket.

You see, when you fill other people's buckets, you'll have your bucket filled.

We want to be bucket fillers.

We have tremendous power and influence with our words.

Listen to what it says in Ephesians 429.

It says, let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is

helpful for building others up, for benefiting the hearer, for extending grace to those other people,

for building people up.
