Sermon Scripture: "for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him."  Colossians 1:16

Stop Playing Favorites

​Sermon Scripture:  James 2:1-8
Picture
1.  Playing Favorites is forbidden in the church! Verse 1, 9
  • Favoritism is sin! 
  • Sin against our glorious savior! 
  • Selective sin among brothers and sisters!
  • Convicted by the Law when we show favoritism
  • This conviction makes us lawbreakers!
  • God shows no favoritism in granting salvation! Acts 10:34 
  • God shows no favoritism in issuing justice, either to the evil or the good! Rom 2:9-12
  • God shows not favoritism regarding leaders of the church!  1 Tim 5:20-22 
  • God shows no favoritism based on the desire of the majority! Ex 23:2 
  • God shows no favoritism based on economics or social standing! Lev 19:15 ​
2.  Playing Favorites is sometimes found in the church! Verse 2-4
  • Playing favorites based on money, family, relationships, age, social status, race!
  • Playing un-favorites based on the opposite of the favored standing!
  • Judging as biased judges! 
3.  Playing Favorites is always foolish because it fails in the church! Verse 5-7
  • It is a pragmatically poor strategy!
  • It fails to accomplish anything productive!
  • Works against what God has blessed! 
  • Hopes in those who will not help!
4.  Playing Favorites can be fought by living out the love of God for all people! Verse 8
  • Keep the Royal Law: Love your neighbor as yourself, Leviticus 19:18. 
  • Moses, Jesus, Paul, James: 9 times exactly quoted!
  • The Golden Rule: Luke 6:31, Matthew 7:12, So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
  • Who is my neighbor? Luke 10:29-37: Good Samaritan

A Living Sacrifice

2/13/2017

Sermon Scripture:  Romans 12:1-3

1
 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.  ​3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

True Religion

2/13/2017

Sermon Scripture:  James 1:25-27 

25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Listen and Do!

Sermon Scripture:  James 1:19-25
Picture
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
