Integrated: The Direction of Your Life

If you want to know where your life is headed, listen to what's coming out of your mouth. Join Pastor Stephen Mizell for this week's message from James 3 about the incredible power of our words to direct, destroy, and diagnose our lives.

In this online-only service (due to weather), we continue our journey through the book of James, exploring how faith moves from belief to behavior. This week, we discover that your tongue is the steering wheel of your life—and the words you speak reveal the condition of your heart.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Your words have the power to DIRECT your life's trajectory
• Your words have the power to DESTROY relationships and opportunities
• Your words have the power to DIAGNOSE the condition of your heart
• Small things (like bits, rudders, and sparks) can control or destroy massive things
• Inconsistent speech points to incomplete surrender to Christ
• God doesn't just want cleaner language—He wants a cleaner heart

SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:

• James 3:1-12
• Matthew 12:34 (Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks)

THREE REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. What tone dominates my speech?
2. Who has been wounded by my words?
3. Where do I need a heart change, not just a habit change?
