This week we are led through James’ teaching on the power of the tongue by Josh. We are taught the truth of the power of the tongue to harm ourselves and others but it’s more than that. We find also in the scripture that the tongue is the compass by which we live. Sometimes we unknowingly influence the direction of the life that surrounds us by having an unbridled tongue. However, when we bridle our tongue using God’s truth as the bit, we ensure that our words produce life and not destruction or misdirection.
Taming the Tongue

Bitter or Better
March 19, 2023 • Neil Perry
Neil walks us through James’ teaching on the importance of rejoicing in our tribulations. James expounds that tribulation produces a fruit of perseverance in our lives. This perseverance builds our character and gives us a hope that cannot disappoint. The hope we have creates an anticipation and God delights in us desiring Him in our waiting.
Where Does Your Wisdom Come From?
March 26, 2023 • JR Blanton • James 3
JR takes us to the third chapter of James to shed light on the importance of wisdom that comes from the Lord. The wisdom that the Lord offers is covered in His desire for peace, gentleness, and willingness to involve us in His will. In the ways that the Lord in his wisdom does good to us, we should also do unto others because this is how we reflect Him to the world.
