    Snobbery affects us all but is contrary to - the nature of God, - the law of God, - the grace of God, - and the life of God.

    James 2:1 - 17 The Subtle Sin of Snobbery In his book, "Stay of Execution", the late Stewart Alsop, columnist, tells of an embarrassing moment when he was in London, on a reporting trip for his column.

    We are taught by scripture that all are loved by God, but we tend to segregate groups into “we” and “they.” This is wrong.

    Scripture: From the New American Standard Bible James 2: 1-10 1 My brothers, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man ...read more

    We struggle with the problem of prejudice to one degree or another by an improper focus on the externals. James addresses this problem head-on in James 2:1-13.

    Scripture The animated movie Shrek celebrates the worth of society’s undervalued people.

    The church must be the one place in the world where the things which serve to classify and separate people must not be allowed.

    Introduction: A. I read a story about what happened at a church one Sunday morning. 1. As the congregation began to arrive they found a dirty, old vagrant lying beside the church’s front door. 2. Some looked at him and said how awful that someone looking like that is lying outside our beautiful ...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

    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

    The church does not and should not have a caste system. The church is not a place of racism nor classism, yet why are we not growing?

    Pride, prejudice and discrimination, three things that you would not expect to find in church but you do. Lets see how and what we can do about it.

    James 2:1-13 my brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
