Taming the Tongue // Gossip vs. Speaking Life // Ryan Oakes (MS - 9/10)

Scripture shows us that gossip is not harmless - it’s destructive, addictive, and rooted in the heart. Together, we look at four key principles:

1. Gossip & deception are dangerous (v.18–19)

2. Gossip keeps drama alive (v.20–21)

3. Gossip feels good in the moment but poisons us (v.22)

4. Gossip comes from a heart problem (v.23)

We also see how the gospel offers hope for a new heart and a better way forward - choosing to speak life instead of death (Prov. 18:21).
