Power Of The Tongue! (1 of 5)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: Imagine a weapon so powerful that it makes the atom bomb look like a toy! This weapon has the potential to literally bring anguish into the life of every human being on the planet ... but without necessarily destroying them physically. This weapon could however, produce scars that last a lifetime ... scars that may never heal properly. This weapon is available to the poorest as well as the richest of nations ... in fact, even individuals have access to this weapon ... there are few laws against the possession or use of this weapon. No weapon that now exists, or will exist, will have the deadly potential of this ancient weapon...
Taming the Tongue
by Stan Coffey
We are talking about "How To Tame Your Tongue." You know in the book of James in the new testament, the writer tells us that if a man can tame his tongue, that he is indeed a mature man, that a sign of Christian maturity is to be able to tame your tongue. In fact, James says the tongue can no man tame. And that is the key, no man can tame the tongue, only Christ through the Holy Spirit working in us, can control our tongue. And we will see that as this lesson unfolds. The Proverbs are just full of verses that have to do with taming your tongue and the results of what happens when you don't tame your tongue. Sometimes when you speak...
The Power of The Tongue (4 of 11)
by Benny Perez
Background: The Jewish people have been scattered because of persecution. They are now living abroad in foreign countries. They are experiencing some challenging times and James is writing to encourage them. James does not spend much time in teaching doctrine but rather in how our Christian Faith should be lived out. The goal is Christian Maturity and Walking Out Your Faith. It is learning how to become all God Has in store for you as a Christ Follower. I. Perfection Is Not The Goal v. 1-2 A. Quit wanting to teach so quickly 1. James is addressing the problem of everybody thinking they can teach. 2. We don't need...
The Problem of the Tongue (1 of 6)
by Chuck Booher
Book by Robert Morris and his sermon notes: huge thanks. Time Tim when he was little and told Sue's friend: ''You use drugs'' If you would control your words, you would be perfect! You would be able to control every other area of your life. You could accomplish nearly anything! What we are talking about is that big! Listen to how the Message puts this... James 3:1-12 (The Message) 1 Don't be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards. 2 And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone...
Taming the Tongue (8 of 11)
by Joe Alain
On a windswept hill in an old English churchyard stands a slate tombstone. The elements almost have erased the inscription, but one barely can make out the epitaph: "Beneath this stone, a lump of clay, lies Arabella Young, who, on the twenty-fourth of May, began to hold her tongue." During that period many tombstones bore statements of truth. What epitaph would state the case of our speech? Obviously, Arabella had difficulty taming her tongue. The Bible makes the control of the tongue a matter of great importance. Jesus said, "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned....

Tongue Twisters at Corinth (19 of 21)
by Donald Cantrell
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline with sub-points. Theme: ''Discussing the place and procedure of the gift of tongues'' Counterfeit A Chinese boy who wanted to learn about jade went to study with a talented old teacher. This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under it. After an hour he took back the stone and sent the boy home. The procedure was repeated for several weeks. The boy became frustrated. When would he be told about the jade? He was too polite, however, to question the...
Faith Tested by the Tongue (8 of 17)
by Richard Laue
As we go through James, the tests keep coming. Our faith is tested by trials, by people, by works, by wisdom by the world, by the sick, by weeping, and here in chapter three, by the tongue. The tongue is a very sensitive subject. The easiest way to offend is with the tongue. We have all experienced "the slip of the tongue." The Scripture is clear that we shall give an account "for every idle word." "If your lips would keep from slips, Five things observe with care: To whom you speak; of whom you speak; And how, and when, and where."-- William Norris On a windswept hill in an English country churchyard stands a gravestone with this...

Walk It out - Controlling the Tongue (5 of 9)
by Rich Wooten
This morning, we continue to discover more from the Book of James. He has a lot today about life, and today's topic is especially true and timely. I think of something that I was taught over and over again by my parents - ''If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.'' Perhaps a good proverb for our current political climate, as well as social media climate! James 3:1-12 (CSB) Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we will receive a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able also to control the whole body. 3 Now if we...
Oh Be Careful Little Tongue What You Say (10 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
1. In one of Sam Jones meetings, a lady came forward and said that she wanted to put her tongue on the altar. Jones knowing that she had a reputation for gossipping said to her, "The altar is about 12 feet long. Put as much as you can on it." There are some who need to put their tongue on the altar and in many cases it would require a large altar. 2. Someone has said, "Many things are opened by mistake, but none so frequently as one's mouth." Introducing Thomas Edison at a dinner, the toastmaster listed his many inventions, dwelling at length on the talking machine. The aged inventor then rose to his feet, smiled, and said gently...
My Heart Condition
by Jerry Watts
I submit that this story is a microcosm of the life of Jesus and His focus on the truth. This past week I read a statistic that over 40% of deaths in America are caused by issues of the heart. Ultimately, every death is caused by heart failure. When the heart stops beating, stops functioning, and stops doing its job - life cease. However, the reasons so many death occur at the hand of an unhealthy heart seems to be many. First, the initial signs can be so subtle that we ignore them. Next, those initial signs can resemble other conditions (indigestion, cough, fatigue, etc) and it's easier to dismiss them as a heart issue. Today, if caught early...
A New Look At Sin
by Jerry Vines
The setting of these verses of Scripture is the visit which the scribes and the Pharisees, from Jerusalem, make to see the Lord Jesus Christ. You've got to remember that these are the big shots from headquarters. They are the heavy hitters of the religious world. These are the men who were the movers and the shakers of the...
Watch Your Tongue
by Robert Walker
A man working in the produce department was asked by a lady if she could buy half a head of lettuce. He replied, "Half a head? Are you serious? God grows these in whole heads and that's how we sell them!" "You mean," she persisted, "that after all the years I've shopped here, you won't sell me half-a-head of lettuce?" "Look," he said, "If you like I'll ask the manager." She indicated that would be appreciated, so the young man marched to the front of the store. "You won't believe this, but there's a lame-braided idiot of a lady back there who wants to know if she can buy half-a-head of lettuce." He noticed the manager gesturing, and...
How to Live the Good Life and See Good Days!
by Marvin D. Patterson
OPEN: Little Johnny was walking down the beach, and he spied a matronly woman sitting under a beach umbrella on the sand. He walked up to her and asked, "Are you a Christian?" "Yes." she replied. "Do you read your Bible every day?" She nodded her head, "Yes." "Do you pray often?" Little Johnny asked next, and again she answered, "Yes." With that he asked his final question, "Will you hold my quarter while I go swimming?" APPLY: That little boy believed that a ONLY a woman who was a Christian would be trustworthy. He wasn't willing to entrust his quartet with anyone else. Why would that boy believe that...

Wisdom for the Asking (4 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
King David conquered the nations around Israel and as a result Israel became the largest and most powerful nation in the Middle East in 1,000 BC. When he died his Solomon reigned in his place. We do not know how old Solomon was when he became king, but it seems he was 20-25 years old as he married Pharaoh's daughter. It was not long after he became king, he asked God for wisdom. Wisdom - Heb. ability to make right decisions at the right time. I Kings 3:9 Give your servant an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people? The Lord was...
Changing Course
by Bob Wickizer
We have been blessed to receive almost two dozen newcomers this year at Grace. I hope we will continue this good work welcoming and incorporating new people into the life and ministry of this church. But I want to share a recent encounter I had to help you understand what a community of faith does for one another. (in a positive way) Joan and I were invited to a newcomer's house for dinner. We have done this dozens, maybe a hundred times over the years. We enjoy sharing a meal with parishioners. This time the conversation turned quickly to serious questions. First came questions about the situation of the ancient...
