Taming the Tongue (James 3:1-12) - Elita Friesen | March 23, 2025The book of James describes an integrated faith & life—a life made whole in its holiness. James was the pastor of the first Christian church in Jerusalem, writing to Jewish believers living outside the nation of Israel. The words of James are God's word for us—relevant and immediately applicable to our lives. As we journey through the book of James, immersing ourselves in the symbolic world + pressing concerns of the first century followers of Jesus, we learn to apply James' message to our lives in the 21st century.The Way Church is a church in Vancouver joining Jesus in the restoration of all things.

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!

It's such a little thing—the tongue. It only weighs about 2.5 ounces. But it can do so much. It can destroy and it can give life. This morning James wants to challenge us to tame our tongues. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show
This week, we explored James 3 with a compelling message on “The Untamed Tongue.” James uses vivid imagery to show us the immense power of our words, comparing the tongue to a small rudder steering a massive ship or a spark igniting a forest fire. This passage challenges us to consider how our speech reflects the condition of our hearts. Are we blessing God while cursing others made in His image? In this sermon, we delve into the themes of self-control, humility, and the wisdom from above, asking how our words can build up rather than tear down. While no one can fully tame the tongue, James points us to the transformative power of Christ to bring our hearts—and our speech—into alignment with His will.
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.
Your speech is a reflection of and a testimony to the reality of your hearts. If your heart has been transformed, then so will your speech. Conversely, if your speech remains unrestrained by the gospel, it indicates that your heart has not been transformed.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on James 3, in which the apostle reminds Christians that their tongues, though small, can do great damage. We can tame our tongues only through the constant reminder that repentance leads to new life in Christ.
All of us have said the wrong thing at one point or another. We've gossiped, shared inaccurate information (whether or not we knew it), and had to apologize for our mouths and the consequences of our words. Today, we're digging into some tangible secrets to keeping your tongue in check. And I tell you what James really means when he says, "Let not many of us become teachers."

The post Taming the Tongue – James 3: 1-12 appeared first on Red Village Church.
A careless word can have eternal ramifications. In today's message, our Director of Youth Ministries, Ross Enger, speaks on James chapter 3 and how God can help us tame our tongue.
The book of James calls every true disciple of Christ to radical action. It is a wake up call for those who claim Christ to demonstrate living, active faith by letting their walk talk. This week, John Parker practically applies 4 principles from James that teach us to “Walk in Wisdom”.
James 3:1–12 Taming the Tongue [1] 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. (ESV)
