Derek Thomas: Showing No Partiality

Thank you for posting—love the book of James. The gospel is not just for the rich! The gospel is for sinners and poor and needy. Great message.

So true! The gospel is for the sinners and needy.

Partiality is rampant in the churches today. Beautiful sermon !

Partiality is a common practice even in the churches today. Thanks for this sermon.

I love this sermon 🙏🏻😇😇😇

Leviticus 19:15
You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

Deuteronomy 1:17
Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. 

God's law applies to all. Rich or poor, we all stand guilty before a Holy God, in need of a Savior, finding unity and identity in Christ alone.

ahh but back row is the seat of honor in a baptist church

I was in a church in my 20s where I was a nothing. If you were a yuppie, a local, or connected by blood you were in. That church folded.

You made the statement. Jesus would have had genetic material from Mary. No he wouldn't. He was of the holy Spirit. I respectfully disagree with that statement.

Let us pray that the Lord would reveal any partiality in our own lives and hearts

Great sermon, thank you.

Amen.. Noted Sir.

These days churches are more likely to show partiality toward the poor and diverse, which is just as sinful and wrong as showing it toward the wealthy and powerful and familiar

Only lies do I bring to the cross, so fervently cling I, as one so hopelessly lost!
