This sermon focused on the powerful influence of our words and the spiritual condition they reveal using James 3:3-11 as the focus of the message. Our speech reflects what is truly in our hearts and can either build up or destroy relationships, families, and congregations. It concludes by encouraging the congregation to carefully guard their words, use the Sabbath as a time of reconciliation and encouragement, and remember that our speech should reflect the character and coming Kingdom of God.
