TEACHING SERIES: Distinct SERMON TITLE: The Things That I Say BY: Sarah Thomson DATE: Sunday 19th February 2023 BIBLE PASSAGES: James | Chapter 3 | Verses 1-13 EXCERPT: Why do the words I say matter? It’s said that for every 1 negative word that is spoken to us we need 10 positive words to cancel it out. Our words have really powerful consequences so maybe there isn’t such a thing as a little white lie or a harmless bit of gossip. James reminds us of the power of the things that we say and the importance of using our words as worship to God at all times. Welcome: What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is true of us online. We are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Riverside is a church made up of people from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences all with one thing in common; our discovery of God and His amazing love. We hope you will feel at home among us and that you will find our weekly services, events and groups welcoming and relevant to your life. Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you're so welcome in this community.
