Discussion
Words are unimaginably powerful. Share an example from your own life where words had a significant impact on you or someone else.
How does understanding Jesus as the "Logos" (the Word) change your perspective on creation and your relationship with Him?
What we allow into our hearts through our ears and eyes is important. How mindful are you of the media and influences you consume? What changes might you need to make?
Discuss the difference between the "Word of Faith" movement and true biblical faith. Why is it important to distinguish between the two?
What challenges do you face in surrendering your own desires to God?
How does the concept of being "in the name of Christ" (walking in righteousness and harmony with Jesus) challenge or encourage you in your daily life?
Application

Bible Reading Plan: Commit to reading a chapter of the Bible each day, focusing on passages about God's character and promises.
Encouragement Challenge: Each day this week, use your words to genuinely encourage at least one person, reflecting Christ's love through your speech.
