Title: 2,4,6,8 Who do we appreciate?
Text: James 2:1-13

Notes:

Characteristics of Genuine Faith:

1. Control over tongue
2. Compassion for dis-advantaged
3. Separation from ways of the world

The world's system: Partiality.
Honor, respect, and treat well the people we can benefit from most.

Any partiality dishonors God and our faith.

Defeating Partiality:

1. Be captivated by the glory of Jesus
2. Grasp the gospel
   Christianity is counter-cultural to the world around us.
3. Devote yourself to the royal law
   Partiality is the anthesis of the command to love
4. Be mindful of God’s judgment
5. Reflect the mercy of God
   God’s mercy in you overflows from you
