Bible Study - "Principles of Sound Speech"
Why is it important that leaders, especially Christian leaders, exemplify sound speech? When a leader does not speak soundly, what is the effect on the hearers? This lesson series teaches the principles of sound speech from the Bible – from the teaching of Jesus, the writings of the Apostle Paul, and the Old Testament. By applying these principles, we, as followers of Christ, will speak and write more gracefully in ways that build up and encourage others. Based on Titus 2:7-8, Ephesians 4:29, Matthew 15:15-20. Posted 19July2016.
"In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us” (Titus 2:7-8).
Bible verses for crises. Recall God's promises. Trust in God through prayer. Solicit prayer support from other Christians. Believe that God will act. Testify publicly to the results that God provides. "Do not fear or be dismayed ... the battle is not yours but God's" (2 Chronicles 20:15).
"The Tree, A Woman, and God's Purpose" - Based on a true story about rain, a tree, a woman and God's purpose for us as described in Ecclesiates 11:1-8a. "Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know what will grow--perhaps it all will" (Eccelesiates 11:6).
"Work, Peace, and Spiders" - "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers" (Philippians 4:6). "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid" (John 14:27).
"Singers, Cymbals, Alamoth, and Sheminith" - Choir devotion based on 1 Chronicles 15:11-22, and the variety of musical instruments to be used in worship. "...singers to sing joyful songs, accompanied by musical instruments: lyres, harps, and cymbals" (1 Chronicles 15:16).
