Sermon
The Power of Our Words
Center Church
Speaker: Josh Miller
October 13, 2021 · 40 min
Summary
James 3 teaches that words have tremendous power to shape churches, direct lives, and reveal hearts. Though impossible to fully control alone, believers can tame their tongues by saturating their hearts in the gospel and allowing the Holy Spirit to produce life-giving speech rather than destructive words.
Highlights
The culture of our church is determined by the people of our church; the culture is much less determined by me and much more determined by you.
The real problem isn't my tongue; it's my heart. What comes up in the bucket is what was down in the well.
The key to controlling your words is saturating your heart in the gospel. You cannot control your tongue on your own but you can in Christ.
