The Tongue James Ch3_The Chapel_Ps Andrew Mackenzie_10am_31st May 2026 by The Chapel Tamworth

Sermon & Communion Meditation: Ellie Koranek

Controlling the tongue is essential for personal transformation and effective ministry. This discussion connects speech to the heart's condition and emphasizes applying God's word in daily life. It acknowledges human imperfection and the need for humility, while exploring how internal conflicts affect communication.

In James 3:1-12, we're confronted with a sobering truth: our words carry more power than we realize.James begins with a weighty warning for teachers, but quickly shifts to something that applies to all of us: the tongue. Though small, it has the ability to direct our lives, destroy relationships, and reveal what's truly in our hearts.In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we break down:Why teachers are held to a higher standardThe connection between our words and our heartsHow the tongue can bring life—or destructionPractical ways to surrender our speech to GodThis isn't just about what we say, it's about transformation from the inside out.✨ If this message encourages or convicts you, share it with a friend and subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible studies.

Are your words producing worship - or wounds? In James 3:1–12, James shows us the tongue is small, but it can steer a whole life - or set it on fire. This message calls us to train our words so they match our worship.

Series:  The Book of James Passage: James 3:1-12 February 15, 2026 www.clearcreekcoc.org

James 3:1–12 confronts us with the reality that the tongue, though small, exercises immense influence through words. God Himself treats speech as powerful and purposeful. From creation onward, God brings new realities into being through His Word. He speaks, and what did not exist comes to life, order, forgiveness, and restoration. This passage calls us to submit our words to God's renewing grace, so that our speech reflects the creative, truthful, and life-giving power of the Word we confess.

How powerful are your words—really? In this episode, we open James 1:26 and James 3 to expose the “respectable sins” of the tongue: gossip, slander, lying, crude talk, and careless words. Scripture is clear: the tongue reveals the heart, and unchecked speech can lead to self-deception and spiritual harm.This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.eduWe walk through five biblical realities about the tongue—why it's powerful, restless, foul, prone to lying, and deadly through gossip—and why believers must bridle the tongue for the glory of God.

One of the most difficult things to control in life is the human tongue. James describes this human instrument as an unruly evil full of deadly poison. In this message, Pastor John offers some practical ways that we as believers can successfully control our speech in an ungodly culture.October 12 2025Music: CCLI License 20576625- Take My Life and Let It Be Consecrated | Frances Ridley Havergal, Henri Abraham Cesar Malan, Michael Adler | Copyright Words: Public Domain; Music: 2003 Adler, Michael

In James 1:26, the Bible gives a powerful warning: “If anyone thinks they are religious and do not bridle their tongue, they deceive their own heart, and their religion is useless.” What does it really mean to bridle your tongue? In this teaching, we explore the biblical meaning behind this verse, using a live horse training demonstration to show how bridling gives direction, obedience, and control. Just as a horse must yield to the bit, we must surrender our words to God so He can direct our steps. Without controlling our speech, even our best religious efforts—church attendance, good behavior, or spiritual practices—become empty. Learn how to stop gossip, negative speech, and careless words, and discover how true obedience makes your faith useful to God.

Part 16 of "James: Gospel Wisdom for the Christian Life"

Taming the Tongue James 3:1-12 3 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. I. A Word to the Wise II. A Warning to the Weak III. A Way for the Willing

Part 15 of "James: Gospel Wisdom for the Christian Life"

Series: James - Walk the Talk

Steve walks us through the first twelve verses of James chapter 3 to show how believers are called to use their voices. As the half-brother of Jesus Christ, James had a uniquely personal understanding of our Savior's will, offering insight that few other biblical authors could. He vividly illustrates the conflicting nature of the tongue using the images of a spring and a fig tree. Steve explains that our ability to speak life or death is a sobering responsibility. He also offers practical guidance for ensuring our words bless both God and our neighbor. Are you speaking from the heart of Christ or from the desires of self?

Sermon from Matt Magee on July 20, 2025

James 3:1-12. From the "The Letter of James" sermon series. Preached by Stephen Baker.

From time to time, we've all let a careless comment slip. But today, pastor Ray Bentley has a warning for those who continually let their words get out of control. If you have a tongue that is uncontrolled, you can literally start a forest fire in a human sense. You can devour multitudes of lives and literally it can be as hot as the fires of hell itself.

Proverb says, pleasant words are like a honeycomb. Sweetness to the soul, health to the bones. Pastor Ray Bentley comments, the power of speech is one of the greatest gifts that God has given to human beings. If you will believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and then if you will say with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, then thou shalt be saved.

How powerful is the tongue? Should we be careful of it?

Season 3, Episode 11 w/ Tyler Smith

Grace Veronica // Words are powerful—they have the ability to lift others up or tear them down. The words we speak are shaped by our hearts, influencing how we communicate each day. To speak with kindness and reflect Jesus in our words, we must first yield our hearts to God, allowing him to guide our speech and build others up.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

“People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God.” (James 3:7–9 NLT) If you’ve ever ridden a horse, you know the awesome (and occasionally uneasy) feeling of having its power and strength in your hands. The reins you hold and the bit in the horse’s mouth allow you to control the movement of this incredible animal. Experienced riders can control a whole team of horses that way. Years ago, at the Rose Parade, I saw a man riding a buffalo. He was able to control it with a bit in the animal’s mouth as well. Human beings have managed to tame many different creatures. Lions and tigers and bears. Killer whales and crocodiles and cockatoos. Name an animal, any animal. Chances are good that someone, somewhere, has tamed one—and probably taught it to do a goofy trick. The one thing in this world that we haven’t been able to tame, as James points out in the passage above, is the tongue. And that failure rocks us to our core. Because what we say reveals who we are. Socrates once said to a young student, “Speak, so that I may see you.” The idea of “being seen” by our words applies even more so to believers. The tongue is a barometer of Christian maturity. If your life is really transformed by Jesus Christ, your words will be transformed as well. Your faith will impact you in what you say and what you don’t say. Jesus said, “A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart” (Luke 6:45 NLT). As Christians, we may take pride in the fact that we don’t do certain sinful things anymore—and that’s certainly a sign of spiritual maturity. But if we don’t also rein in our words, there’s no gain. We would never think of having someone we don’t like assassinated, but we would assassinate their character over Sunday brunch. We would never think of pulling out a knife and stabbing someone, but we would think nothing of plunging the blade of slander into someone’s back. People who tame wild animals command respect. Crowds breathlessly cheer lion tamers at the circus. People who tame their tongue command the respect of others, too. Others will notice when you refuse to join a gossip session. Or when you talk about people’s good qualities behind their back instead of slandering them. Or when you offer sincere words of praise or encouragement. Because they’ll see that it’s coming from your heart—a heart that’s been transformed by Christ. The people closest to you—your spouse, your family members, your friends—will be the first to notice. Especially if you’ve never given much thought to taming your tongue in the past. It may take a while to convince them that you’re serious. But in time, they will respond to your transformation. Taming your tongue is the big battle. If you fight it valiantly, you open the door to other victories. James 3:2 says, “Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way” (NLT). — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This first episode has kind of turned into a verse-by-verse exposition of James 1:1-12. That was not my intention, but there is just so much meat on the bone and my grandma told me “Don't never leave no meat on the bone, girl!” Now, she was literally talking about meals, but I believe Grandma's wisdom applies here. The book of James is a whole feast. You hungry? Let's dig in!

Christian wholeness includes how we talk. Our tongue often divides us down two separate ways of life.

The power of words is undeniable. In this episode, we dive into James 3, where the apostle teaches us about the immense impact of our speech. With our words, we can bless others and praise God, but we can also tear down relationships and cause lasting harm. The challenge? No one can truly control their tongue on their own. James warns us that our words have the potential to ignite fires of destruction, yet he also points us toward the solution: the wisdom of God. As you listen, you'll discover how to identify areas where your words may be causing harm and learn how God's Spirit can help you speak life instead. If you're struggling to control your tongue or want to understand how your words impact your spiritual maturity, this episode will provide the practical guidance you need.
