Taming the Tongue

October 27, 2024 • Carrie Clark • James 3

In the third part of our series in James, we explore the challenging words of James 3, where Jesus’ half-brother teaches about the power of our speech and the call to tame the tongue. Words can build up or tear down, heal or hurt—and James reminds us that our tongues are like small sparks that can set entire forests ablaze. Whether you’re someone who processes outwardly or quietly internalises, we all need wisdom from above to help control our speech. If you’ve ever struggled with the impact of words—whether words spoken to you or those you’ve said to others—this message offers both conviction and encouragement. 🏠 Visit our website https://http://www.thecitychurch.org.uk 🎧 Find our sermon library here https://subsplash.com/thecitychurch/sermons ABOUT THE CITY CHURCH Our vision is to invite everyone to encounter Jesus - no matter who you are or where you’ve come from, the message of hope that Jesus gives is for all people. https://http://www.thecitychurch.org.uk We are based in Canterbury in the UK, and we’d love to have you join us for a Sunday service or connect in by watching our livestream every Sunday morning at 10:30am. https://http://www.thecitychurch.org.uk/sundays FIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: https://http://www.facebook.com/thecitychurchincanterbury Instagram: https://http://www.instagram.com/thecitychurchincanterbury TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecity.church YouTube: https://http://www.youtube.com/channel/uc_w9wzs7dnkclqmvgrlzg0g
