Treeline Church
Speaker: Joe

Summary
Drawing from Proverbs 18 and related passages, the sermon teaches that words reveal the heart's condition and carry life-or-death power. Through the NEED acronym (Necessary, Encourage, Edify, Dignify) and the gospel's transformative grace, believers learn to tame their tongues by overlooking offenses, responding with restraint, and reflecting Christ's perfect example of patience and forgiveness.
Highlights
Your words are always telling on you. They always are. They're a window into your heart.
The moment that you've yelled, you've assassinated your authority.
Real strength is in restraint. The Bible is clear. Sometimes wisdom requires that you walk away to say nothing.
