Details

This one-off teaching resource unpacks one of the most practical and challenging passages in Scripture: “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry” (James 1:19–22). Students today live in a world that’s loud, reactive, and quick to cancel or clap back, and James’ words cut straight to the heart of how we live out our faith in that kind of culture. This message helps students distinguish between human anger and righteous anger, while guiding them toward a Christ-centered approach to responding.

Whether you’re teaching at midweek, a retreat, or even in small group settings, this resource can be adapted to fit different timeframes and group sizes.

If you’ve ever wanted to help your students navigate social media drama, friendship conflicts, or everyday frustrations in a way that actually reflects Jesus, this message is a great tool to guide them. It’s practical, biblical, and speaks directly to the challenges students face right now.
