We're going to begin a new series and the title of the new series is The Wealth of a Word, not

the Word, but A Word.

And we're going to talk about words that we speak.

And this week we're going to begin this series with a

message called what's a word worth what's a word worth I think we don't think

enough about our words and how much value our words carry. And so I want us to talk about words.

We're going to talk about lips of life and we're going to talk about tongues of trouble, your tongue ever gotten you in trouble.

And this is going to be a series because it's going to take me several weeks to get you straightened

out. I personally have never had a problem in this area other than what I just said.

Have you ever said something you wanted to take back?

Well, we're going to talk about it.

We're going to talk about words, all right?

You're going to be amazed at how much is in the Bible about words.

Pastor George was saying last week, gave a great suggestion to read a proverb a day.

You read through Proverbs, we just finished this series on finances and giving, you'll

see a lot about money in Proverbs.

Well, let me tell you what else you'll see in Proverbs. You'll see a lot about money in Proverbs. So let me tell you what else you'll see in Proverbs.

You'll see a lot about words.

You'll see a whole lot about how important our words are.

So Proverbs 18, verse 20, a man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.

We really want you to meditate on that this next week.

In other words, the quality of life that you live depends on what you say. Depends a lot on your mouth. A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.
