We all know the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me" – but is that really true? Words have incredible power to build up or tear down, to unite or divide.
This Sunday, we tackled a topic we rarely confess but all struggle with: gossip. It's not just what we say about others behind their backs – it's also what we choose to listen to. Proverbs reminds us that "the words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels" – gossip tastes good, feeds our pride, and makes us feel special. But it destroys relationships and grieves the Holy Spirit.
Here's the gospel truth: God knows every hidden thing about us, yet in Christ, He doesn't expose us to shame – He covers us with grace. Jesus was publicly shamed so we could be fully forgiven. When that mercy grips your heart, it changes how you speak about others. People covered by mercy stop delighting in exposing others.
Let your words build up, not tear down. As Ephesians 4:29 says, speak only what gives grace to those who hear.

🍎 Healing Hands & Shaping Minds 🩺
This week, we are double-dipping on gratitude! We’re pausing to celebrate two groups of people who make the world a whole lot brighter (and smarter): our Teachers (May 4–8) and our Nurses (May 6–12).
To our educators: thank you for your patience and for nurturing the minds of the next generation.
To our nurses: thank you for your grit, your compassion, and for being a calm port in the storm.
Beyond the lesson plans and the long shifts, we see the heart behind the hustle. Thank you for serving God through your Kingdom work—teaching the truth and healing the weary across the earth.
