One of the most recognizable figures of all time is the Grim Reaper. Although different cultures throughout the ages have depicted him differently, he is typically expressed in caricatures and cartoons as a skeleton wearing a black robe, face hidden by a hood, and bony hands holding a sickle. But as Pastor Stephen Davey will reveal to us today from Revelation 14:14, the real Grim Reaper is far more terrible than the one we’ve fashioned in our minds.
Did you know the average person speaks between 2,000 and 10,000 words a day?! That means we have thousands of opportunities daily to encourage others or tear them down, to honor God or dishonor Him, and Jesus says in Matthew 12:34 that each word spoken reveals a little more about who we are on the inside. So in this series, Stephen takes us back into the convicting book of James to give us a long, hard look at our hearts…through the window of our mouths.
