Build Others Up With Your Words
Scripture: Ephesians 4:28–30
“Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
Explanation:
Paul shows that transformation affects not just actions, but our speech. Our words have power—to harm or to heal. Speaking in a way that builds others up is a sign of spiritual maturity and honors the presence of the Holy Spirit in our community.
Application:
Watch what you say today. Let your words bring life and hope. Use every opportunity to encourage someone, speak kindly, and avoid tearing others down. You have the power to lift others—use it well.
Discussion Questions:
When was the last time someone’s words built you up?
Are there habits of speech you need to surrender to the Lord?
How can you be intentional this week in encouraging someone in your group?
