1. Journey of Stones

2. Stick & Stones
John 8:

3. Children
Playground
Sayings

4. “Liar, Liar, pants on fire!” “Nose as long as a telephone wire!”
“Made you look, made you look,
made you buy a penny-book!”

5. “Sticks and stones
may break my bones,
but words can
never hurt me”
Is this true?

6. Criticism can hurt deeply
“Sticks and stones
may break my bones,
but words can
sting like anything”
Criticism can hurt deeply

7. We use criticism
at times when we
do not even know it!
“Lazy, stupid, clumsy,
ugly, irresponsible”

8. “In the same way, even though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts wildly. Think about this: A small flame can set a whole forest on fire. The tongue is a small flame of fire, a world of evil at work in us.”
James 3: 5-6

9. Pharisees
Interrupt Jesus
with Adulterous Woman
John 8:

10. Hear their
harsh, condemning
words…

11. “whoever has never sinned…”
Hear Jesus reply…
“whoever has never sinned…”
“neither do I condemn you go and sin no more”

12. Which words would
our tongues affirm?
Would our hands
be filled with stones?

13. Jesus provides a
Second Chance!

14. SO
WHAT?

15. Today your Stone
represents a
Second Chance!
