Holy Habits | Wise Words

Last week we continued our Holy Habits series with the practical and challenging passage of James 2:14-26, which led us to explore what it means to have a faith that moves. Just as a river brings life only when it’s flowing, the spiritual life thrives when faith is alive; when movement ceases, spiritual stagnation sets in. James reminds us that while salvation is built squarely on the foundation of grace through faith alone, a truly alive faith will always produce good works. This week we turn to James 3:1-12 where our author discusses the importance of speech, colorfully drawing the connection between our words and the heart beneath them. James doesn't pull any punches in this passage, he’s so fully aware of the power of words and the life they can take on. Pastor Marty dissects the wisdom and challenges from this passage, causing us to take a healthy look at the ways we talk.
