JESUS’ TONGUE, YOUR
TONGUE
![Page 3: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-121 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
![Page 4: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-123 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
![Page 5: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-125 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
![Page 6: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-127 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
![Page 7: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-129 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
![Page 8: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-1211 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
![Page 9: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TAMING THE TONGUE

TEACHERS WILL BE JUDGED WITH GREATER
STRICTNESS
![Page 11: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE MOUTH IS A
REVELATION OF THE HEART
![Page 12: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One of the ways that we get insight to our heart—the seat, the sum, the center of who we are—is by hearing our words and letting others speak our words back
to us because sometimes we don’t understand what we’re saying, or how we’re saying it, or how devastating it
might be.

KNOW THAT TEACHERS ARE JUDGED MORE STRICTLY BY PEOPLE

![Page 18: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Check your motives. Check your heart.
![Page 19: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEARERS

KNOW THAT WE ALL STUMBLE

![Page 21: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A CRITIC AND BEING A COACH
2
![Page 22: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The difference is time and tone. When do you say it? How do you say it? A critic: public, not private because the
goal is to crush you, not build you. A critic will wait until you’re vulnerable.
A coach will wait until you’re teachable.
![Page 23: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A critic’s intent is to make sure that everyone is invited to join them in the
criticism, and a coach is trying to protect you from the criticism to help
you learn and grow.
![Page 24: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
KNOW THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR BEST AND WORST DAYS
3
![Page 25: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If we love someone, we present them on their best day. If we hate someone, we
present them on their worst day. The truth is that we’ve all got our best day, we’ve all got our worst day, and it
really reveals your heart how you present them.
![Page 26: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BIG THINGS HAVE LITTLE
POWER
![Page 27: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
His point is this: little things have big power. Little things have big power.
Your tongue is a little thing, but it has big power.
Just like the tongue in your mouth, it’s akin to a bit in the mouth of a horse.
![Page 28: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
THE BIT OF A HORSE
![Page 29: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A SHIP & ITS RUDDER
![Page 30: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Again, his analogy is, the tongue is very small, but in the scheme of things, its
impact is very big.
![Page 31: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You can feel like your life is like this: big, strong, forceful, successful,
impenetrable, but your tongue is the vulnerable point,
and it can become the one thing that undermines everything.
![Page 32: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
FOREST FIRES
![Page 33: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Once a fire gets going, it’s hard to know where it started because it moves so
quickly and so fiercely. And our tongue is a spark.
It can unleash hell.
![Page 34: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
WITH IT, WE BLESS AND CURSE

JAMES 3:1-129 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
![Page 36: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
JAMES 3:1-1211 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
![Page 37: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
God doesn’t want to condemn you, He wants to convict you.
He wants you to see it so that we can change.
![Page 38: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
GETTING TO THE SOURCE (JESUS TONGUE)
![Page 39: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Its where Proverbs says, “Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth
speaks,” right? That’s why the heart is the wellspring of life. That’s why Jesus
says that our words come out of our heart.
![Page 40: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
WHOM DO I IDOLIZE?
![Page 41: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The great American theologian, Jonathan Edwards—said that
if we idolize, we demonize.
![Page 42: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Don’t idolize anyone. If you idolize them, you’ll demonize them. If you set them up, it’s only so that eventually you can
set them on fire. And don’t allow yourself to be idolized. It only works
until it doesn’t work, and then it doesn’t work at all.
![Page 43: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
WHAT DO I COVET?
![Page 44: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
You can’t rejoice with those who rejoice. You can’t celebrate God’s grace.
You’re angry at it. You’re covetous of it. And that affects your heart and that
comes out in your speech.
![Page 45: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
WHAT LIES DO I
PERPETUATE?
![Page 46: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
We’ve heard something that we’re sharing. We don’t know if it’s true or not. Or we heard something, we know it’s not true, but we’re going to let it go because
it benefits me.
![Page 47: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
WHAT GOSSIP DO I ENJOY?
![Page 48: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
This is Matthew 18. If somebody sins against you, go talk to them, don’t talk
about them. That’s gossip.
![Page 49: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
WHO ARE WE BITTER
AGAINST?
![Page 50: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
You’ve got two options: bitterness or forgiveness.
![Page 51: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Jesus is in a moment of weeping. Bitterness is the enemy of forgiveness.
![Page 52: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
WHO HAS HURT ME?

Hurt people tend to hurt people.
![Page 54: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
HOW DO I LIKE TO PLAY
GOD?
![Page 55: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Jesus is the only person who’s ever lived that never stumbled in any way.
Everything he always said was the right thing, at the right time, in the right way,
perfectly.
![Page 56: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Here’s the good news, because right now, we’re probably all feeling pretty
convicted. Jesus gets the last word. He who does not stumble in any way goes
to the cross to suffer and die for we who have stumbled in many ways.
![Page 57: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Here’s the good news: we’re all guilty. Everybody today, put your rock down.
And if you belong to Jesus, you’re forgiven. He knows that we all stumble
in many ways. He forgives us. He alone should sit in the saddle.
![Page 58: JAMES 9-JESUS' TONGUE, YOUR TONGUE - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ed791e1a28ab1f198b4621/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
We all need a bit in our mouth. Otherwise, we run wild and out of
control, like an animal. We drift into danger, and devastation, and death like a
ship that is out of control. And we set people, people we love, on fire with the
flames of hell.
