Pastor Greg begins a new message series, "Surrender: The Mouth & the Mind," with Part 1 focusing on the power of our words. James 3 reminds us that although the tongue is small, it has tremendous influence. Our words can bring healing and encouragement, or they can cause hurt and destruction. Scripture teaches that what comes out of our mouths reveals what is truly in our hearts.

In a culture where words are often spoken carelessly, God calls His people to recognize the responsibility that comes with speech. Jesus taught that we will give an account for every careless word, and our words often leave a lasting impact on those around us. The question is not simply what we are saying, but what our words reveal about the condition of our hearts. Are we producing good fruit, speaking life, and drawing others toward Christ?

The good news is that God does not leave us to fight this battle alone. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, He can transform our hearts and, in turn, our speech. As we yield ourselves to Him, He helps us speak words that build others up, encourage faith, and bring glory to Christ. Join us as we discover how surrendering our mouths to God begins with surrendering our hearts to Him.
