reSOLUTION | Week 2 | James 3:1–12, Matthew 12:33–37, Jeremiah 17:5–10
January 9, 2010
Words can build people up or tear them down, and they reveal what is happening within the heart. Brandon Williams draws from James 3, Matthew 12, and Jeremiah 17 to examine the influence of the tongue on relationships and daily life. Rather than treating harmful speech as an isolated habit, he calls listeners to consider the faith, fears, and attitudes their words express. Lasting change begins by turning the heart back to God and trusting the Holy Spirit’s work. The message encourages believers to listen carefully to their own speech, choose words that give life, and let their actions reflect the Christ they worship.
