Taming the Tongue

As we continue through the book of James, we examine the danger of the tongue and the spiritual discipline needed to ensure its proper use.

// Small Group Questions

1. What did God teach you through this passage and sermon? Share the work of God in your heart with the group.

2. What questions did this passage and sermon raise in your mind? This would be a great opportunity as a group to use the Ask a Pastor feature and that way we can address it either directly or in the messages in the future.

3. Why do you think James starts by cautioning his readers about becoming a teacher? What is the lesson for us today as we carry out the Great Commission?

4. Share with the group when you experienced words affecting you significantly, whether positive or negative.

5. Why is the tongue so hard to tame? What are things that you can do to practice reigning in your speech?
