The Untamed Tongue | James 3 | Aaron Ninaber

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.
