The Power Of The Tongue [Part 1] (James 3:3-6)

Just how powerful is the human tongue? Although the tongue is small and seemingly harmless it can cause destruction akin to arson. What regrets have you had about the words which you have spoken? What have other people said to you that has most built up your life? Everyone says things they regret, either immediately or eventually. Sometimes these are small slips of the tongue, sometimes they’re life-altering sentences. Interestingly, the Apostle James knew this all too well. Referring to our speech as “the tongue”, he vividly describes its seemingly limitless destructive powers to scare and warn his readers against the power of the tongue. By placing special emphasis on this facet of human life, he answers questions such as: Just how dangerous can our words be? What makes our speech uniquely deadly? What are its effects, intentional or unintentional? 📄 Follow along with this sermon's transcript: https://www.bethelbpc.com.au/sermon-database/the-power-of-the-tongue 📍 Sermon Outline 00:00 Trailer 01:21 Introduction 03:49 I.
