Big Idea: Asking for God's wisdom is essential for how I live my life.This Sunday, we studied James 1:5–8 and learned that God gives wisdom—willingly, generously, and without reproach—to those who ask in faith. In a world full of uncertainty, we're reminded that we don't have to figure it out on our own. God is ready to guide us if we'll simply ask and trust Him.If you're navigating decisions, challenges, or just trying to live with clarity—this message is for you.

Scripture: James 3:1-12, Matthew 12:34-37, Isaiah 6Intro:We're shifting focus from deeds to words, exploring how we represent Jesus through speech.Today's sermon is about the power of our words.The Weight of Words:We spend a significant portion of our lives speaking.Words have power: to destroy, direct, and reveal.James 3:1-12 uses analogies (bit, rudder, fire) to emphasize the tongue's influence.Our tongue has a disproportionate amount of power.The Tongue Directs:Verses 3-5 illustrate the tongue's power to guide.The tongue doesn't just describe; it directs our course.Like a bit or rudder, the tongue needs control.We must overcome contrary forces (sin, circumstances) to control our speech.James connects sins of the mouth to sins of the whole body.Controlling our tongue is crucial for self-control.Self-control involves choosing life-giving actions, even if initially difficult.The Tongue Destroys:Verses 6-8 highlight the tongue's destructive power.A small spark can ignite a great fire; the tongue is a fire.Words can cause deep regret and do lasting damage.Human nature alone cannot tame the tongue.But we have a new nature through the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit empowers us to speak words of life, not destruction.The Tongue Reveals:Verses 9-12 show how the tongue reveals the heart.Our words reveal the source from which they come.Matthew 12:34-37 warns that we will be judged by our words.Our words expose the condition of our hearts.We must be mindful of careless words.Isaiah's Example:Isaiah, a prophet, recognized his unclean lips (Isaiah 6).God cleansed Isaiah, and he proclaimed God's word again.Conviction about our speech is appropriate.The solution isn't silence but using our mouths for God's purposes.Call to Action:Confess sins of commission and omission.Receive cleansing through Jesus' sacrifice.Intentionally speak life and blessings.Ask yourself: What will I say over others?What life am I proclaiming over situations?What am I speaking over myself?Conclusion:Our words have power because they flow from the heart.We are called to use our tongues to glorify God and bless others.

In Season 5 Episode 13 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we finish our discussion of the seasons of marriage, and specifically talk about summer and autumn. Summer is the season of sunshine, and it brings with it warmth and happiness. As a result, a couple becomes more comfortable and relaxed and enjoys their life together. Autumn is the season of change. As a result, we may become unsettled as we may be unsure of what's ahead. So, it is easy for us to become anxious and apprehensive. Finally, we discuss 4 ways to cope with the seasons of marriage.

When we talk about the fruit of the Spirit, love and joy seem like they're in a higher league than patience. We think, “everybody gets impatient!” But in James 5, it says impatience and grumbling is worthy of judgment. You may say, “Why?” But what do you think murder is? It's just grumbles that were planted and watered and fertilized. Impatience is at the root of things. Let's look at 1) the danger of impatience 2) what patience is, 3) what patience is not, 4) the counterfeit of patience, and 5) how you develop a patient heart. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 25, 1990. Series: Fruit of the Spirit. Scripture: James 5:7-16.
