James 3: Wisdom in a Social Media Storm | Sunday Service | November 3, 2024

Send us Fan MailEver found yourself in hot water over an offhand comment online? That's precisely what happened when I innocently critiqued Beyoncé's 2013 Super Bowl performance and got caught in a tidal wave of Beyhive backlash. This sermon is a lesson in the power of words and the digital age's capacity to amplify them. Drawing wisdom from the book of James, we reflect on the metaphor of the tongue as a small but mighty force, sharing insights and personal experiences that highlight the importance of mindful speech in our lives.As we navigate through these entertaining stories and reflections, we pivot to discuss the significance of empathy, wisdom, and active listening, especially in high-stakes conversations like those during election periods. We urge our listeners to engage in conversations with those holding differing views, guided by the timeless biblical teachings on taming the tongue and fostering unity.  Learn more about our community at fsuwesley.com or on Instagram @fsuwesley. If you feel called to contribute to our ministry, you can do so at fsuwesley.com or on Venmo @fsuwesley-foundation.
