    Do You Play Favorites? (Pt. 1)

    Contributed by Chris Talton on Jan 29, 2002
    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,930 views

    In our treatment of people, we must see all people as equally valuable rather than treating some better than others because of how they might benefit us.

    James 2:1-13 “Do you play favorites?” June 27, 1999 Everybody has favorites. [Ask different people in the congregation what their favorite items are in these categories: food, ice cream, car, color, time of year, holiday]. When I was growing up, my mom had it pretty easy whenever she was getting ...read more

    A call for the church to be a place that mirrors the description of the multitude of saints that are worshipping in heaven.

    A Place Where Anyone Can Fit In James 2:1-9 February 10, 2002 Introduction: • Stand as we pray the Lord’s Prayer together. • There is a part of that prayer that I wonder if we ever really notice. • The part that says Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven? • I wonder if we ...read more

    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

    Celebrating In The Losers Cirlce Series

    Contributed by Tim George on Mar 17, 2001
    based on 99 ratings
     | 4,862 views

    James tells us the story of a rich man and a poor man who came to church one day. One appeared to be a winner – the other a loser. How should a group of losers who have been made winners by Christ treat such people?

    No body likes a loser. Have you ever seen a losers circle at the racetrack? When is the last time you saw the runner-up on a box of Wheaties? People generally think little of losers. That makes it all the more hurtful to some when someone like Ted Turner is quoted as saying, “Christianity is for ...read more

    Starting this morning, and for the next two weeks, we are going to talk about the issue of partiality, the problem of favoritism, and how we can avoid it in our personal lives and the life of our church.

    How To Avoid Partiality (Part 1) James 2:1-7 Preached by Pastor Tony Miano Pico Canyon Community Church March 18, 2001 Introduction: I know a story of a boy who was about thirteen years old and he loved to play baseball.

    Favoritism

    based on 65 ratings
     | 10,682 views

    Favoritism is a serious mistake because: 1. It is a sin. 2. Appearances can be deceiving 3. God opposes the proud.

    I vividly remember talking with another pastor one day who had been given a very impressive appointment to one of the largest churches in our conference. As he was talking to me and a couple of other pastors, he was explaining how different this church was from his previous experiences. ...read more

     | 13,149 views

    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

    We judge books by the cover, even though we are told not to. As Christians, we are commanded to avoid showing favoritism.

    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?

    In the body of Christ, God does not show favoritism and He expects you to do welcome those who would be welcomed by Him. Every person does matter to God.

    God doesn’t play favorites James 2:1-13 Introduction Shortly after the close of the Civil War, a former slave entered a fashionable church in Richmond, one Sunday morning at the beginning of a communion service.

    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.

    By means of super vision we can see beyond man made parameters and behold the identity we have in Christ.

    “Super Vision Supervision” When we are young, most of us have our super heroes. I can still remember the names of many of mine. Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, and Roy Campenella to name a few. All three of these guys were sluggers for the Old Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. They were bigger than life ...read more

    Prejudice is not an attractive quality of the Christian life. So why don’t we work more to eliminate it from our lifestyles? In this sermon it is identified as sin. Prejudice needs to be approached from several different angles, and this sermon speaks
