"Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips." — Psalm 141:3

Our words are powerful—they can build up or tear down, bring life or bring death. In this message, we dive into the truth that what comes out of our mouths reflects the condition of our hearts (Matthew 12:34) and that we will give account for every word spoken (Matthew 12:36-37).

Drawing from Scripture—Psalm 17:3, Proverbs 18:20-21, Romans 12:17-18, and more—we see that the words we speak are not just casual expressions; they carry eternal weight. Solomon reminds us that "a man's stomach will be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth," emphasizing the life-giving or destructive power of speech.

This sermon challenges us to:

• Guard our tongues and align our words with God's truth

• Speak life and blessing instead of negativity and gossip

• Live with integrity, honoring God in every conversation

• Let our hearts be transformed so our mouths reflect His goodness

Words can either align with the viper or align with the Vine. Choose to speak life, and watch how God uses your words to bless, heal, and encourage.
