Summary
Do the words that come out of your mouth bless others and honor God, or do they bring bitterness and destruction? In this message, Nate Heitzig examines what James 3:2-12 says about the power of the tongue and reminds us that God is the only one capable of changing our heart—and the words that flow from it.
I. What You Say Is a Reflection
II. What You Say Causes Destruction
III. What You Say Is a Decision
Talk with God: Ask the Lord to help you break any habits of complaining, gossiping, or tearing others down—and to help you use your words to bless and encourage.
Talk with others: Be intentional in encouraging a fellow believer this week.
Talk with kids: What problem did the early church face? How did the apostles solve the problem?
