The Book of James | Week Nine | James 4:11-12

March 11, 2026

James 4 confronts two quiet but destructive sins in the Christian life: tearing others down with our words and making plans without reference to God. In this message, Billy shows that both slander and self-directed planning flow from the same deeper issue—pride. Rather than blaming others or clinging to control, believers are called to humility, repentance, and surrender. When we trust God’s grace and submit our hearts, our words begin to reflect Christ and our plans begin to follow his better will.
