     | 5,051 views

    This difficult chapter of the Bible is not hard to understand if you ask a simple question. James says we are justified by our works, not just by faith. But justified BEFORE WHOM?

    James 2:1-5, 8-10, 14-26 Pentecost 17B Rev. Charles F. Degner 1My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism. 2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3If you show ...read more

    This sermon deals with how we see and treat others, even in the church.

    James 2:1-13 "Favoritism Forbidden" By Pastor Mark Hiehle In our society today, we like to think of ourselves as open-minded and fair.

    We might say "The clothes make the man," but God is more interested in the heart, and so should we be.

    James 2:1-13 January 26, 2003 Not What The Eye Sees They say “the clothes make the man.” It is probably not that the clothes make the man, but that the clothes make our opinion of the man, or the woman. When I was in university, I was heavily involved with a Christian group on campus ...read more

    James Chapter 2

    We treat the Word of God like an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet. We pick up and take the things that appeal to us, but leave behind and untouched things that challenge us. Why have 10 Commandments when you can enjoy only 8?

    When I was in college, there was a restaurant that we loved to go to. It was an all you could eat type of place, which explains why I look the way I look today. We would go and stand in line in the buffet and pick all those things we wanted to eat -- shrimp, crab, clams, hushpuppies, French ...read more

    This sermon deals with James’ exhortation to not judge.

    The Book of James is a short letter that is often over looked. Not just because it is short but there have been many who simply didn’t like what it said so they would glance over it quickly. Martin Luther, not the King but the great reformer who lived a few hundred years ago didn’t like James at ...read more
