The sermon explored James 3 and the incredible power our words hold to either build up or destroy. James dedicates 43% of his letter to addressing the tongue, language, and speech - that's 2 out of every 5 verses. We learned that while no human can fully tame the tongue on their own, the Holy Spirit can bring it under control when we surrender our lives to Christ. Our words reveal the true condition of our hearts, and as believers, we are called to use our tongues to bless rather than curse, to encourage rather than tear down.
