• Read James 3:1-12

• What was the main point of the message? How does this fit with the context of what we’ve seen in James?

• Talk about someone who spoke words of life over you? Go back in your memory as far as you can. What does this tell you about the power of words?

• Explain one of the illustrations that James uses. What does this tell us about our tongue/words?

• How do our words reveal our heart?

• When we blurt out someone we regret in a time of anger, is that a true revealer of our heart?

• Which one of the type of sins with our words is the most common for you? (Cuts, complaining, divisiveness, silence, gossip, lies)

• How can we bring our words further under the reign of Jesus?
