Church Together

Pastor Andy continues our "Nuts & Bolts" sermon series with a scripture focus from James 3:1-12. Sermon notes are as follows: A slender portion of flesh contains the whole word of iniquity. – Calvin  Words Shape People (1-3)    • Your words shape people – they can build or destroy, they can point in the right way or the wrong way, they can bless or curse.    • Abstention from anything is never a complete substitute for control of something. We must, as God, tame our tongue. Words Ignite Situations (4-6)    • Are you going to use your words to ignite good things that build, or bad things that destroy?    • Speak less that you know and have more than you show. - Shakespeare Words Reveal Inconsistency (7-11)    • We should not use any word that reduces anyone to anything less than full stature as God’s created beings.    • When it comes to words, what comes out reflects what’s inside of you.
