James 3:1-12
Points to ponder
*we all stumble in many ways
Illustrations of the tongue's power
1. Bits & Rudder = Power to direct
- often small but can direct
- words we speak can affect the lives of others
ex. when a judge calls a verdict "guilty" or "not-guilty"
- can also encourage or discourage others
2. Fire & Animals = Power to destroy
- evil words has the power to destroy and are very dangerous when spoken
- like serpents, some tongues spread poison
- can depress
- sets the course of the persons life on fire
3. Fountain & Fig tree = Power to Delight
- like fountains and springs that refreshes us

October 5, 2008 : Message: Song of the Redeemed
Message: Song of the Redeemed
Psalms 107
Actual audio message delivered by Pastor Edwin Locsin (language is in Cebuano)
Points to Ponder:
The believers were:
1. Redeemed from personal insufficiency
- when we acknowledge that we are insufficient, God's help will arrive
- God delivers us from our distress
- v4 - the people were lost, then after praying, God led them to the right path
- v9 - when they were hungry and thirsty, God satisfied them with good things
2. Redeemed from sin
- Bondages we that hinders us
.Bondage of mind
.Bondage of the human capacity
.Bondage of the heart
-v14 God brought them out of darkness and broke away their chains
- w/ God's help we can break away from what binds us (sin)
3. Redemption from adversities
-v25 God is the author of the storm
-God allows storms in our lives so our faith and belief in Him will grow and strengthen
-the believers can lose their courage and reasoning during a storm
-v29 God stilled the storm to a whisper
*GIVE Thanks to the Lord for He is Good and His Love endures forever
closing song "Hallelujah to the Lamb"
