Who Do You Think You Are?

1. Read James 4:11-12. What convicted you most from this passage and the sermon today?
2. Why does James link speaking against others to judging the law?
3. What are some ways we try to justify speaking negatively against others?
4. When does healthy accountability in community cross over into a judgmental attitude? How do you discern the difference between what builds up and what tears down? And what are some healthy boundaries to keep from letting it cross the line?
5. How does the gospel shape how we speak about others, especially those who have wronged us?

Prayer + Practice:

Ask God to reveal where you need a change of heart toward someone in your life. Ask him to search you and cut through the justifications and show where you need to hold your tongue.
