Words matter. In this eye-opening sermon from James 3, Pastor Jeremiah Genin explores the incredible power of the tongue—and the spiritual impact of the words we speak. Whether it’s gossip, criticism, negativity, or simply careless speech, Scripture teaches us that the tongue can either bring life or set our world on fire. This message unpacks the biblical call to use our words to bless, build, and bring healing, not destruction. Through honest insight and biblical truth, you’ll be challenged to assess your speech, examine your heart, and surrender your words to the Holy Spirit. The same mouth that praises God should not tear others down. As Pastor Jeremiah reminds us: we don’t just need more discipline—we need transformation. And that begins by letting Jesus rule our hearts and our tongues. If you’re searching for a church in Madison, WI that teaches the Bible, honors the presence of God, and equips you to live out your faith, we invite you to join us at Chapel Valley Church. This sermon answers: Why is the tongue so difficult to control, and what does it reveal about our hearts? How can we surrender our speech to the Holy Spirit and speak life instead of harm? What does James 3 teach us about spiritual maturity and the power of our words?
