Or are our motives more self-centered?

Part 2 of "Ugly Christmas Sweater" series.  Too often we wear "ugly word" sweaters.  Words we have spoken to others and words spoken to us.

Words have the power of life and death; they can build us up or tear us down.

Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace!

This message considers how "Ugly Thoughts" are impacting us.
