What Is Filling You?
We’ve all said things we wish we could take back. A sharp word, a careless comment, a defensive response, or a tone that came out stronger than we intended. But Jesus teaches that our words are connected to something deeper. They reveal what is happening in the heart. In this message, we’ll look at Matthew 12 and Philippians 4 to see how Jesus invites us beyond simply watching our words. He wants to shape what fills us.

When Words Have Wounded You
What do you do with the words that have hurt you? In this message, we explore how unaddressed pain can take root in our hearts and eventually shape our words, relationships, and responses. Looking at Ephesians 4:31–32, Hebrews 12:15, and Romans 12:19–21, we’ll see how Scripture calls us to move from bitterness to healing through forgiveness.
