Worship Service for the Week of June 4th
A One Hope Online Worship Resource
Scripture Texts: James 3:1-12
Sermon: Sticks and Stones
Here's an irony for you. The last few weeks we've been looking at James chapter 2 where the message is, "It's not so much what you say that matters but what you do!" In this service we move into chapter three where the message is, "But what you say does matter!" In the message for this Sunday we look at the power of words to direct the course of a life, to bless people, to damage people, to reveal what's inside, and to heal.

- What words of blessing have been spoken to you in the past that helped direct the course of your life in a positive direction?

- Do not run someone down (even a little bit)
- Do not defend or excuse yourself (no matter what)
- Do always affirm one another - What do you think about this statement from Peter's sermon?
"From our wounds we wound, from our hurts we hurt, and from those places where we have been sinned against, we sin against other people."
