Have you ever said something and immediately wished you hadn’t? If that’s you, you’re not alone. James, one of the letters in our New Testament, says, “You can tame a tiger, but you can’t tame a tongue—it’s never been done.”

Words are powerful. The way we speak can give life to those around us. But if we’re not careful, our words can also leave cuts and bruises that last a lifetime.

How are you using your words? And how on earth can we tame the proverbial tiger? In this week’s sermon, we unpack some ancient wisdom from James’ letter about what it means to live wisely when it comes to our words—and how we use them.
