Are Your Words Drawing People to Christ—or Driving Them Away?

Jun 14, 2026    Paul Rienzo

We continue exploring what it means to own our faith by embracing our God-given agency in the world. Pastor Paul draws from Ephesians 4, and focuses on the power of our words and how they reflect the presence of Christ in our lives. We are reminded that our witness, our words, and our walk must work together in harmony, because even one area out of alignment can weaken our testimony. Paul challenges us to speak truth with love, listen with humility, and use our words to encourage, heal, and build others up. Whether at home, at work, online, or in public, believers are called to represent Christ through speech that is seasoned with grace and aligned with the character of God. Through this we discover how our words can become a powerful expression of God's love and a testimony that points others to Jesus.
