The power of our words to encourage or destroy

This Bible study is based on James 3: 3-12 and Ephesians 4: 25-32.

It makes the following key points:

• What we say matters. Our words can cause pain, hurt and discouragement.
• Our speech should build people up, not destroy them.
• Our words should reflect God’s love for us and others.
• This does not mean that we should never challenge any wrongdoing or injustice. The Bible is clear that this is part of our calling.
