True Christianity Part 1 | Pastor Mark Stermer

"If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all." ABOUT THE MESSAGE We are called to be ambassadors of Christ to the world. This means that we are the example that the world looks to as a representation of who God is. What we speak is such an important part of this task. We will be held accountable for the words that we speak and they will dictate the direction of each of our lives just as a bridle controls the direction of a horse.What are we to do with this seemingly impossible task of taming the tongue? Join Pastor Mark Stermer as he takes us through the scriptures to learn how to do just that - bridle our tongue, take control of our lives, and represent Christ properly! ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey:https://www.thechurch.fm/jesusFor a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.
