Introduction

In this session, we hear James provide some very direct advice about the power of our speech to do harm or to do good. James likens the tongue to something that steers us, in spite of its small size. How powerful is our speech? How can our faith guide the words we choose?

Scripture: James 3:1-12

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies.
