James 2:1
Favoritism has no place in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It contorts the gospel.

Favoritism is profoundly un-Christian.
You Can’t Be Partical and hold to the Gospel.
The world teaches us to values people by their net worth.
The Gospel teaches us to value people by Christ’s work.
that someone who is worth more to the world is worth more to the church
Remember what James has just said?
The gospel turns hearts towards the needy not away from them.
Not only does favoritism contort the gospel but it:
It contradicts the Scriptures.
James pics up the theme of the entire bible and shows us God’s revealed will.
Love is Scriptural.
When James says the royal law he is speaking kingly language.
This is what the king says.
The king mandates royal decrees.
This is the law of the Kingdom.
Remember the question posed to Jesus by a lawyer.
Which is the great commandment?
James picks up on the kings clarification.
Royal Law - Love God - Love Others.
Favoritism is sinful.
Failure to love is sin.
Racism is not a skin issue it is a sin issue.
Everyone is accountable.
James’ point is a simple one: favoritism is profoundly un-Christian.
It says, in effect, that someone who is worth more to the world is worth more to the church, and, correspondingly, that someone who is worth less to the world is worth less to the church.
