Join us this morning for an impactful message as we dive into **James 4:11-12**, where James calls believers to live faithfully and humbly, especially in how we speak to and about one another. In these verses, James warns us against speaking evil or judging our brothers and sisters, reminding us that judgment belongs to God alone. Pastor Lonnie will unpack how the prideful person is often someone who lives apart from God, and how speaking ill of others reveals that pride. We'll explore how, as followers of Christ, we are called not only to refrain from slander but to use our words for building up and encouraging others. The challenge is to align our speech with our faith—a faith that is not just about believing but about living out the law of love and grace. In this sermon, we’ll reflect on: - The danger of speaking against one another and judging others - How our words reflect a heart that has been transformed by Christ - The calling to use our mouths to build others up, not tear them down (Ephesians 4:29) - The difference between self-righteous judgment and humility before God Whether you're seeking practical ways to strengthen your walk with Christ or looking for encouragement in your faith journey, this message is a timely reminder that our words matter—and that through Christ, our mouths can be repurposed to offer grace and peace.
