Words Hurt. Words Heal. // 1 Corinthians 14:1–5 // Bobby Gourley
Description
Words can tear down—but they can also build up, heal, and restore. In this message, Pastor Bobby unpacks the power of our words through the lens of prophecy. While the world often uses words as weapons, God invites us to speak with purpose—to strengthen, encourage, and comfort others through God-inspired speech. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14, we explore how prophecy works in the New Testament, how to discern healthy prophetic practice, and how believers can grow in this spiritual gift while remaining grounded in love and truth.

Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 14:1–5
