James 2: 1-12
The Point: James is warning about making self-centered judgments based upon worldly attitudes .
1. The value of people is not determined by their bank account .
James 2:7; Proverbs 22:2; Romans 2:11; Acts 10:34; Romans 5:6
2. We should live by the law of love .
James 2:8-10; Galatians 5:14; James 2:12
The Lessons:
1. I will work at laying aside personal prejudices and stereotypes of people.
2. I will never value a person of wealth over a poorer person.
Luke 12:15; Mark 2:17
3. I will help the church to look like all the people of our community.
Acts 13:1
4. I will be free of denominational prejudices.
5. In summary, I will forsake all worldly ways of evaluating human worth.
2 Corinthians 5:16-19, 20
May the ground always be level here too.
