Watch Your Words (Week 3)

Based on James 3:1-12, this sermon emphasizes the immense power of our words to direct our lives, destroy relationships, and reveal the condition of our hearts. By reflecting on the biblical imagery of the tongue as a rudder, a fire, and a spring, we are called to be intentional with our speech, using our words to uplift and guide others toward Christ. We are challenged to seek healing where words have caused harm and to align our hearts with God’s will, so that our words reflect His love, truth, and grace throughout the week.

Scripture References: James 3:1-12, Philippians 4:8, Psalms 19:14, Luke 6:45
