Crushed by Our Words | Crushed

In this week’s message from Crushed, we explore the devastating power of words. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “the tongue has the power of life and death,” and many of us know firsthand how words can wound, discourage, or even crush our spirit.

Yet, Scripture also shows us another way. In 1 Peter 2:23, we see Jesus, who—even when insulted and mistreated—did not retaliate but entrusted Himself to God. Crushed by Our Words challenges us to recognize both the weight of what we say and the healing available when we surrender our wounds to Christ.

Words can crush, but in Jesus, there is restoration and the power to speak life instead of death.
