The Sweet & Sour Tongue

from Wilderness Wanderings · host Michael Bootsma

A Sunday Sermon edition of Wilderness Wanderings! The text is James 3:1-12 from the New International Version of the Bible. Dive In discussion questions are below for further reflection! To see this sermon in the context of the worship service it comes from, find it here on YouTube. Or, head to our website to connect with the worshiping community of Immanuel CRC: immanuelministries.ca Dive In: What two things does James say in Chapter 1 that influence our understanding of this passage? Take some time this week to consider whether your tongue leans towards sweet or sour. Use the various things James says about the tongue for your reflection. Write them down as you listen to the sermon. James warns us about the dangers of a sour tongue. It seems hardly necessary. And at first glance, he leaves little hope for sweetening. However, a closer reading of the text offers us some hope. What did you hear that gives you hope?

MRE Podcast MRE Podcast This is a daily devotional podcast for those who want more of God's Word each day. I read the Word and share my insights from the Word. You might ask why do I do this? In the wilderness, the Israelites had to depend on daily mana from heaven to live. They couldn't eat yesterday's nor keep them for the next day. They always lived on the fresh mana each day. We also need to live by the fresh word of God each day. However, often we skip a meal and live on the past encounters with God. Someone of us gets too busy to eat or someone us do not know how or where to start. We need fresh encounters each day with the Lord so that the love of Christ will overflow to others. That's what I am doing, doing my quiet time and feasting and sharing the food with people. Join the Lord's table with me!
