    Since we all are law breakers, we need to seek mercy. Those who have found mercy from God’s judgment should no longer judge other’s with partiality but with mercy.

    Part 5 of our Fracture series looks at the barrier of favoritism. We tackle what the bible has to say about social and class warfare and how we need to keep this out of the church.

    Fracture Part 5- “Member’s Only” Pastor Ryan Akers I am excited about this message today. Because it’s a message that I think affects all of us but none of us want to openly admit that we struggle with what I am about to talk about. That’s what makes it fun because it’s so challenging.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,899 views

    Text: “But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors” (James 2:9). There is a wonderful old story by John Denver about a man invited to a fancy banquet. He arrived wearing simple clothing and was told to get out and go in the kitchen door for a handout. ...read more

    There’s a saying, ‘the clothes make the man’. Actually, that’s not true. Clothes don’t make the man; they make the opinion of the man. The stigma is that nicer looking, nicer dressed people are more important. And we see from the text today that things we
