City On A Hill Sermons
In this sermon, the message comes from James 1 and James 3, where Scripture deals plainly with the power of the tongue. James teaches that if a man seems religious but cannot bridle his tongue, his religion is vain. The sermon challenges the idea that worship can be separated from speech, reminding us that what comes out of the mouth reveals what is happening in the heart. True religion is not just seen in outward appearance, church attendance, or spiritual language, but in a life that is governed by God, including the words we speak. The message also looks at how James compares the tongue to a bit in a horse’s mouth, a small helm on a ship, and a little fire that can set much ablaze. Though the tongue is small, it has the power to steer direction, cause damage, bless God, or wound people made in the image of God. This sermon reminds us that even joking words can offend and injure when they are not brought under the control of the Spirit. Out of the same mouth should not come both blessing and cursing, and God calls His people to let their speech reflect a pure and undefiled faith.
