Quick To Listen-Slow To Speak | James-1:19-20

What does it really mean to be “swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath”? In this teaching from James 1:19–20, we break down how quickly reacting, speaking, or getting angry can actually lead us away from God’s righteousness. Using a powerful real-life illustration with a horse, this message shows how our natural tendency is often the opposite—quick to speak, quick to react, and slow to listen. But God calls us higher.

This session will help you understand how to respond instead of react, how to listen for God’s voice, and why controlling your words and emotions matters so much. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, impatience, or speaking too quickly, this teaching will give you practical insight rooted in Scripture.

Remember: the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God—and learning to slow down can change everything.
