Show No Partiality, Part 2

James 2:5–13

June 10, 2017

Introduction:

1. Partiality is inconsistent with God’s grace. James 2:5–7,

10. Partiality violates the second great commandment. James 2:8–10.

III. Partiality is inconsistent with the nature of future judgment. James 2:11–13.

Questions for reflection:

• How can we intentionally involve ourselves with the poor and outcast and be “friends of sinners” like Jesus was?

• Are there areas of partiality or prejudice of which I need to identify and confess?

• If you knew with certainty that you were scheduled to appear before God at the final judgment in exactly one year, what would you do differently?
