Welcome to our heartfelt church service where we focus on gratitude, reflecting on the past year with thankfulness. The service begins with a warm invitation to pray for the success of a new church program and highlights upcoming membership classes starting next week.

This season, we reflect on the hope that Jesus brings. Through Him, we have salvation, and through the Holy Spirit, we are guided each day. Let us remember that thanksgiving is not just a holiday but a way of life—giving thanks in all circumstances, knowing that God is always faithful.

The sermon, based on James 3, focuses on the power and challenge of controlling the tongue. The pastor begins by acknowledging how difficult it is to control our speech, noting that everyone struggles with their words. James warns that teachers will be judged more strictly because of the influence of their words, emphasizing that maturity in faith is demonstrated by controlling one’s tongue.

Lord, help us to live out our faith in ways that glorify You. Give us a heart that listens to Your Spirit and a willingness to act in obedience. May our faith be real, producing good works that reflect Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

True faith treats all people with love and fairness, without favoritism. James challenges us to examine our hearts, urging us to show mercy and kindness regardless of status or wealth. As God is impartial, we are called to reflect His love, acting with justice, grace, and compassion daily.
