What we say is not just about communication. It is about preparation.

In this fourth message from the Prepared series, John Gunter teaches from James 3 about the power of the tongue. Our speech reveals our heart. It builds or breaks relationships. It gives life or causes damage. Prepared believers do not wait for the heat of the moment to decide how to respond. They pray, pause, and speak with grace.

Key Takeaways:

• Small words can cause great harm or deep healing
• Prepared faith speaks from a heart full of grace, not reaction
• Delayed words can protect relationships. Reckless words can destroy them

It is possible to sit in church, hear the truth, and walk away unchanged. That is not what God calls us to.

In this second message from the Prepared series, John Gunter challenges us to move from being listeners of the Word to doers. Drawing from James 1, this sermon explores how preparation means building a lifestyle of humility, reflection, and responsive faith.

Key Takeaways:

• Being quick to listen is part of spiritual training
• Obedience must happen before the pressure comes
• God’s Word shapes us only when we allow it to lead us into action
