Taking Communication to Another Level: When Communication Goes Sideways

On Sunday, May 9, 2021, Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message in person and online via YouTube Live and Zoom. In our discussion this week, Pastor Stuart leads us in conversation from James 1:19 and Ephesians 4:29-32 about aligning our lives with the Holy Spirit, so that we can be made aware of our relational blind spots and work toward restoration and reconciliation in our relationships that may have gone awry.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry…
James 1:19 (NIV)

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:29-32 (NIV)
