The Revival We Need: The Book of James

Words have power! Just like God used his words to create and give life, our words have the power to do the same. James sets the foundation for us in the church on how to effectively use our words to teach, help one another, and ultimately bring praise to Jesus. Today's challenge will be to use our words to help bring life. James 3:1-12; Proverbs 18:21; 1 Corinthians 13:1
