Big Idea:  We all speak many words over a lifetime...and sometimes we sin by what we say.  James tells us that even though the tongue is such a small part of the body, it is a fire that can destroy and defile lives.  James says, "no human being can tame the tongue", so what are we to do?  Is there any hope for us?  Yes, there is!  Let's hear what God's Word says about our words, why they matter & how He can help us.

3 of the Ways your Tongue can Spark Fires:

1.  L_________

2.  G_________ &  S_________

3.  De-________ people

T.H.I.N.K. before you Speak:

Is it H_______?

Is it I__________?

Is it N__________?

Is it K________?
