Wednesday 9/3 Service.

In this youth service message, Cheap Wisdom, I made an attempt at diving into what true, godly wisdom looks like according to James 3:13–17 and Proverbs 1:5–7. And the working definition I've derived is that "wisdom is the skill of discerning [insight into] how to [competently] act on the knowledge that leads to living in accordance to how God has designed for us as Christian to live.   Wisdom isn't something we can buy cheaply or gain through shortcuts — it's a Christian virtue that shapes how we live, decide, and discern. Together we'll answer three key questions: How not to get wisdom? How we've settled for cheap wisdom? How to pursue godly wisdom? Using biblical examples, like Joseph's choices in sharing his dreams, we'll unpack what it means to walk in wisdom that honors God and leads to godly living.

Lance, Craig, and Zach discuss the importance of our words. Whether our words are used for positive edification or negative destruction, they will have a long lasting impact. What steps can we take spiritually to better control our words?

Have you ever noticed how the same tongue that praises God can also tear down people made in His image? In this week's message from James 3:9–12, Pastor Cameron challenges us to confront the hypocrisy of blessing and cursing with the same mouth. What we say reveals the true condition of our hearts—and habits of listening, empathy, and love can shape us to reflect Christ more faithfully. Join us as we consider what our words reveal about our allegiance and how a heart devoted to Jesus transforms the way we speak.

JAMES 3 teaches that the truly wise person controls their tongue and sows peace, not discord. This sobering reminder from Pastor Robbie's sermon challenges us to consider: Are we bringing Kingdom wisdom to our online interactions?

Where do you turn for answers when life is hard? What type of wisdom is shaping your life or affecting your decisions? In his sermon, “Wisdom from Above” centered on James 3:13–18, Pastor Josiah unpacks the sharp contrast between false wisdom that is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic—and true wisdom that comes from God. Earthly wisdom seeks pride, ambition, and self-exaltation, but it inevitably leads to disorder and destruction. Godly wisdom, however, is marked by purity, gentleness, mercy, and peace. Most importantly, James shows us that true wisdom makes us peacemakers—sowing peace that produces a harvest of righteousness.This sermon reminds us that wisdom is not measured by intelligence or worldly success, but by a transformed heart that reflects Christ. Only by embracing the wisdom from above do we become the kind of people who strengthen the church, bring peace into broken relationships, and share the hope of the gospel with the world.

August 25 | James 3:13-18 by Christ Covenant

James 3 James 3:1-12 James 3:1 – Be careful about being teachers. We have plenty of authority to teach, but we must be careful with that…

Sticks and stones may break bones—but words can leave even deeper scars. In this week's message from James 3, Pastor Tom unpacks the incredible power of the tongue: small but capable of steering lives, igniting destruction, and revealing what's truly in our hearts. From playground bullies to broken marriages, careless words can set off wildfires of pain. But there is hope—God alone can tame what we cannot. Join us as we explore the dangers of the tongue, the grace of Christ, and how the Spirit transforms our speech into life-giving words.

August 23 | James 3:1-12 by Christ Covenant

If your words were placed on trial, what would they reveal about your faith? In this week's sermon, Alex Trotter unpacks James 3:1–12, confronting the sobering truth that our words reveal the condition of our hearts. The tongue, though small, wields extraordinary power—to bless or to destroy, to build up or to tear down. For those in Christ, speech becomes a mark of transformation: increasingly God-honoring, gracious, and edifying, not because of self-discipline alone but because Christ is reshaping the heart. Even when we fail, every careless and sinful word has been covered by the blood of Jesus. For those outside of Christ, however, the tongue exposes the futility of self-reform; apart from the cross, our words testify against us before a holy God. True hope for taming the tongue lies only in the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.Ultimately, this passage presses us to examine the fruit of our faith through the words we speak. Our speech is never neutral—it either confirms the reality of Christ at work in us or exposes our desperate need for Him. The cross of Christ is sufficient to forgive our failures and powerful enough to transform our tongues into instruments of praise. What difference would it make if every word you spoke was filtered through the cross of Christ?

Series: James - Walk the Talk

This week, Pastor Tom unpacks the power of our words from James 3 and Proverbs 18: “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” Like the mighty Bismarck battleship taken down by a single torpedo, small things can have enormous impact. Our words can wound or heal, tear down or build up. What's behind them? The heart. And only Christ can transform it. Join us as we explore how God reshapes hearts—and tongues—for His glory.

August 10, 2025Big Idea: The human tongue is a terrible monster that no human can tame. James wisely brings us to the end of ourselves, by offering us only one choice – surrender to the One who alone can tame the tongue - Jesus. This is a key to spiritual maturity

This week, Pastor Jesse takes a look at the Book of James. Chapter 3 invites us to a wisdom that's more than just knowing the right answers—it's about living with humility, peace, and the heart of Jesus. He'll talk about how selfish ambition can quietly get in the way, and how God's wisdom can guide […] The post James 3:13-18 – Living Wisely in a Foolish World appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

In this week's message from James 3, Pastor Tom challenges us to match our words with our actions. Using vivid examples, he warns of the dangers and power of the tongue—capable of both praising God and harming others. Teachers, in particular, bear a heavier judgment, as words shape lives and eternal destinies. We're reminded that all of us “stumble in many ways” and must speak with humility, sincerity, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. The call is clear: live out what you believe, guard your speech, and let your words reflect the life of Christ within you.

Wednesday Night //Corey Williams // Summer Preaching Series James 3:1-12

Send me a Text Message!In Luke 8, Jesus tells a story that in many ways sums up James 3. He shares a parable about seeds and soils and a 100 fold return in the harvest. But really it's all about words, and hearts, and a great return on investment in the lives of peole. It's about having the kind of heart that overflows with life on the people around us. So I can't help but ask the question, what is the texture of a good heart? That's wht this episode is all about.

Send me a Text Message!What if I told you, that I am a stock guru? And if you will invest $100 using my method you will gain $10,000 by year end, a 100 fold increase.  What would you say? The promise of a 100 fold return on investment seems almost too good to be true.  But if it's true -- it's good.  Isn't it? Apply that to any area of your life, education, exercise, a 100x return on investment sounds too good to be true. But if's true, it would be good, right?In this episode we are looking at a story that Jesus told about 100x gains on investment. An investment of His Word into your heart; are you looking for a 100x return? 

Send me a Text Message!It's something we desperately need today, a wisdom that comes from above. We are living in a time when much of our culture is living by a wisdom that comes from below, filled with a me-first selfish-ambition. But a wisdom that comes from above is peace-loving and willing to yield. It's graciously humble and generously compassionate. It's a wisdom that is from above and we desperately need it today!

Send me a Text Message!If I declare to you, "We need a radical heart-revolution!" what would you think I mean? I have a sneaky suspicion that James would say that it's all about humility. We need a radical heart-revolution that takes us out of the center of the world, even out of the center of our own world. One of the key characteristics of God's way--is described by James as "Doing good works with humility."  This humility thing is so illusive.  What does humility look like?  We've talked about this before, even recently, but I got to believe it's good for us, or at least good for me to hear it again. James says that we can't hear God, we can't follow God and we can't find life, without humility.  So what we need is a radical heart-revolution.

Send me a Text Message!When I was a kid, my mom would often challenge me with this phrase, "Garbage in, garbage out." GIGO. It was her way of saying, you can't control your tongue, but you can control what's at the source. Sooner or later what's at the source, what's in your heart and mind is going to come out of your mouth. And how do we clean up the source? We let God's Words saturate our souls, our hearts and our minds? We let God's Words into our hearts, before our words go out our lips. So what's at the source of what comes out of your mouth?

Send me a Text Message!There is power in words. We know it because we've been on the receiving side of words that encouraged and words that destroyed. There are times when you've been so impacted by words, that in your heart of hearts you know what Solomon meant when he wrote in Proverbs 15:4, "The tongue the brings healing is a tree of life, but a lie  crushes the spirit." Words can hurt. Words can give life. Words can seem to be heaven-sent and words can burn like hell.And sometimes, we just need a button for our mouths!  :)
