Tongues

This week our students are wrapping up a series titled "Against the Flow."  It has been a month long look at the book of James and his encouragement to stand out from the crowd and follow Jesus.  In James 3, James tells us that our tongues (our words) are very dangerous.  He refers to our tongue as a "flame of fire" and says it is full of "deadly poison!" His point?  Our words are powerful. They can be dangerous. They can build others up and they can tear others down.  Students, how deadly has your tongue been this week?  Are you building other people up, or ripping them apart?  Parents, how deadly have your words been this week?  Are you lifting your kids up, or cutting them down?  As goes our tongue, so goes our life.  Read James 3 for more!

Next month, we dive into a series we titled "Playing with Fire."  We'll be discussing God's plan for love, dating and yes, sex.  We believe God has a lot to say about these topics but too often we don't hear him.  And honestly, it's tough to hear him when our world is shouting about these issues.  And what they shout ain't all that great!  We'll see ya in February!
