Righteous Speech, Righteous Anger, and the Righteous Word of God
Mr. Matthew Reyes

  • Sermon Theme: As we continue in the book of James, James addresses the common response and issue of unrighteousness. Specifically, unrighteousness of speech and anger. Sometimes trials and suffering cause believers to turn to unrighteous speech and anger in response to their suffering. When our hearts are so disturbed within us, James calls us to be slow to speak and quick to listen. Rather than turning to unrighteous speech and anger, James encourages believers to put away all evil and to turn toward the Word that is planted in the heart of every believer which has the power to save us!
  • Sermon Text: James 1:19–21
  • Sermon Notes:
    • Main Theme: In our humanness, we fail to walk in righteousness of speech and anger, but the Word of God plants righteousness in our hearts.
      • Righteous Speech (v. 19)
        • Ears that hear and a heart that seeks to understand.
      • Righteous Anger (v. 20)
        • A heart that desires what God desires.
      • Righteous Word of God (v. 21)
        • A heart that receives the Word of God that saves.
    • Application: How do you respond to trials and suffering? What is your speech like? How is your heart? Is it full of anger or righteousness? Rather than being quick to speak and in haste become angry, let us follow James’ call and turn our ears to listen, be slow to speak, and slow to become angry, and ultimately turn toward the Word that is planted in our hearts and let the grace of God and the power of His Word save us and sanctify us through all and in all circumstances!
