Taming What No One Can Tame

Aug 10, 2025    Andrew Scott

Words have power—to heal or to harm, to bless or to burn. In this message from James 3:1–12, we explore how something as small as the tongue can shape the direction of our lives and the lives of those around us. Whether you're a teacher, parent, friend, or leader, your words carry weight.

Drawing from vivid imagery—like horses, ships, and forest fires—James calls us to recognize both the danger and the potential of our speech. Left unchecked, our tongue can spark destruction. But under the Spirit’s control, it can spark life.

Join us as we unpack what it means to speak with wisdom, humility, and love. We'll explore practical steps to reflect before we speak, repent where we've wounded, and recommit our words to the Holy Spirit's guidance.
