Christians are judgmental—right?! At least that’s the prevailing cultural narrative regarding the Church. In fact, this perspective is so prevalent that we hear this statement come from those who profess to be Christians themselves. As we look at our passage today, we will clearly see that having a judgmental heart is not some new thing that Christians struggle with. This specific sin has been tempting followers of Jesus for as long as the Church has been around which is why we must hear and heed this passage as we find freedom from a judgmental heart.

We all face conflict in our relationships with others. We don’t want it and we may not like it, but the real question is, “How do we handle conflict when it comes?” In our passage today, we will glean from when James taught first-century believers to deal with conflict by understanding its cause and cure.

In this lesson, Pastor Ben walks through Scripture to show that God communicates personally to people in different ways. Sometimes our confusion about what God is saying has to do with our expectation of how He communicates to us. This lesson will not only equip you but it will clear up many misconceptions in the process.

We live in a world that is filled with knowledge and most people have far more information than the average person in previous generations. However, with this increase of knowledge have we become wiser? That is the question! Knowledge is important but wisdom is more important because it causes us to live better. In our passage today, James presents the concept that there are two kinds of wisdom and we need to know which one we are operating by if we are to truly bless people and glorify God.

Hearing the voice of God is all about knowing God. Jesus restored us back into a relationship with our Heavenly Father where hearing His voice becomes more normative as we see in the Bible.

How we steward our words is a clear theme throughout the book of James. What we say and how we say it is extremely important for the follower of Jesus because our words matter more than we know. Most major studies agree that people speak around 16,000 words per day on average. To put this in perspective, that’s almost 6 million words per year which is enough to fill 100 average-sized books. So, the question could be: what book are you writing with the words you are saying? Is it helpful or hurtful? Does it bring life or bring death? Does it encourage or tear down? The fact is, if we don’t control our words then our words will control us. So, how do we get control over the way we speak? That is what our passage is all about today as we learn together how to tame our tongue!
