Guarding Our Words

In this insightful teaching, Pastor Scotty Cole of The Firehouse Church explores the profound impact of our words, drawing from James 3:10-12 and Matthew 7:16-18. We learn about the destructive nature of unguarded speech and the importance of separating the precious from the vile. Through biblical wisdom, we discover how our words can either minister life or cause harm. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance of guarding our speech, cultivating grace and edification in our conversations, and reflecting maturity in our faith.
