Social Media - Power at Arm’s Length

Main Point: Your mobile phone is the most powerful device you own.

  • What’s one idea from the message that stood out to you? Why do you think it grabbed you?

  • What are some of the powerful or dangerous things that you own? How do you handle them?

  • How do you feel about “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me?”

  • What do you use social media for?

Read: Proverbs 18:1-9, 21

  • Share a time that words were used to encourage you and/or a time that words tore you down.

  • Is there someone whose words you always love to listen to, such as an author, a teacher, or an internet personality? Are their words a positive influence in your life?

  • Have you ever noticed a difference in your attitude or how you handle situations when you have surrounded yourself with positive words as opposed to toxic words?

  • Do you live in such a way that reflects the truth that words have the power of life and death? Why or why not?

  • How will you use social media (or your words) in a positive way this week?

Prayer: Pray for wisdom in how you use your words.
