Main Idea: Taming the Tongue

Passage: James 3:1-12

Highlight: What did the passage/message say?

1. How would you summarize the passage in your own words? 

2. As you read the passage or listened to the message, were there any words, phrases, or themes that felt significant or impactful to you? If so, what were they, and why did they stand out?

Explain: What does the passage mean?

1. Why does James say the “implanted word” is “able to save your souls?” What does this mean?

2. Why is it important to be a “doer” of the Word, not just a “hearer?”

3. What are the specific proofs of religion James gives in verse 27? Why are these listed as primary evidence of faith in Christ?

Apply: How does the passage change my life?

1. Are there areas in you or in the church where we seem to be hearers but not doers of the Word?

2. How can we practically apply James 1:27 to our lives?

Respond: How do I respond to what God has said?

• Praise God for revealing our sin and revealing Himself in His Word.

• Ask God to make how you live line up with what you say you believe.
