Good.

Turn to Matthew chapter 12 and we're going to

continue our series. And we're going to continue our series.

The series is entitled The Wealth of a Word, not The Word, but A Word.

And last week we talked about what's a Word Worth?

How much is a Word Worth? And if you weren't here, please get a copy of that CD or go to the internet.

All of our sermons are on the internet. You can go right there and listen to them every week.

Please listen to last week's message so you

catch up with us all right today we're going to talk about can I speak freely have

you ever heard that little expression can I speak freely well we we're going to talk about that. Are

any words free? Even words when we joke around are they free or do they call something?

Are all words worth something?

Matthew 12 is a passage we read last week,

but I want to read it again because we're going to go deeper into this passage.

Matthew 12, beginning in verse 33.

Matthew 12, verse 33. Matthew 12 verse 33.

Either make the tree good and its fruit good

or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad

for a tree is known by its fruit.

And again, let me remind you, in this passage,

a tree refers to the heart and fruit refers to the mouth.

A tree is known by its fruit. In other words, a heart is known by the mouth. What it says. Keep going, you'll see that. Bruda Vipers, how can you be evil speak good things?
