Sermon

Living Faith, Part 7: Watch Your Mouth

April 16, 2023 Jim SuppSermonsJames

With the words we use, we can breathe life into others, or we can breathe death. It is incumbent on each of us to evaluate what comes out of our mouths by examining our hearts and spheres of influence, being purposefully encouraging, and speaking the truth in love.
