Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost 2021

Have you ever said anything you immediately regretted? Ever spoken a word in anger or frustration that seriously damaged a relationship? This week, with authority and vivid imagery, James reminds believers in Christ that the hardest work of faith is in taming the tongue. The untamed tongue, he tells us, not only encompasses the whole of our sinful nature, but damages the unity that the Gospel brings. 

 

Text: James 3:1-12
