Welcome to our in-depth livestream Bible study on James chapters 2 and 3! In this powerful teaching, we'll explore what it really means to have faith with works and the dangers of an untamed tongue.
The Sin of Partiality. James 2:1-7. Lead Pastor Michael Clary
The Book of James is a letter to struggling Christians encouraging them to stay faithful in the face of great suffering. It is full of practical wisdom and truth to help us know and follow God's plan for our flourishing. In this passage, James addresses an issue that he considers to be a serious sin happening among the church communities - favoritism. He sees it as an affront to the Gospel and wants them to see it the same way.
Pastor Henry Tam. Acts 10:24-48
James 2:1-13
Text: Proverbs 24:23-26 (ESV) 23 These also are sayings of the wise.Partiality in judging is not good.24 Whoever says to the wicked, “You are in the right,”will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,and a good blessing will come upon them.26 Whoever gives an honest answerkisses the lips. THE WRONG OF PARTIALITY Partiality in judging is not good. Israel's judges were supposed to be impartial when deciding cases. Moses instructed them, "You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it." [Deut 1:17] He added, "You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous." [Deut 16:19] These injunctions provide wise counsel for today's judges, as well. Let us recall that Solomon was not only Israel's king but also the nation's judge. As such, he was obligated to decide cases wisely and administer justice equitably. What causes a person to say to the wicked, “You are in the right”? He is doing this for selfish gain most likely. Such injustice may happen in response to a bribe, as a favor for a friend, out of fear of an influential person, or even due to personal preference. Such injustice contradicts what God and the public demand of a judge. They are to be fair, honest, and unintimated either to acquit the guiltless, and sentence the guilty appropriately. God does not acquit the wicked. His eyes are too pure to behold evil.[Hab 1:13] He abhors evil and punishes the wrongdoer. Psalm 25:8 declares, "Good and upright is the LORD." Consequently, a judge who administers justice with fairness can enjoy the inner satisfaction of doing the right thing. Also, for the most part, he will receive goodwill, and praise of law-abiding citizens. [see v.25] A judge or any person ‘gives an honest answer kisses the lips.' [v.26] This metaphor is grounded in the idea of a kiss being an expression of friendship and affection. The Hebrew words in this statement imply something sincere, "straight," and truthful. This corresponds to the idea of "speaking the truth in love" (Eph 4:15). It is possible to be truthful and yet not be loving (Prov 15:1; 1 Pet 3:15). Yet it is impossible to be genuinely loving unless one is truthful. There is no love expressed in comforting lies. Ephesians 4:25 says, "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another." Verse 29 further expounds, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."

For most people it is a very easy thing to believe that God shows partiality and greater favor to some over others. But what scripture teaches is actually the exact opposite of that. So let's go to the word of God, and let's begin to dig around and see what we can find what scripture actually says ands what scripture is actually trying to teach us about this matter!Send us a text Support the show
James 2:1-13Keywords; Favoritism, Judgement, Boasting, Rich, Poor
The letter of James is often called the New Testament's wisdom literature, offering practical guidance for living as followers of Jesus. Drawing creatively on Jesus' teachings, James addresses important topics like enduring trials, controlling our speech, caring for the vulnerable, resisting favoritism, and putting faith into action through good works. This letter is filled with memorable, succinct wisdom meant to inspire reflection and guide believers in following Jesus in every area of life. As we journey through James together, our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will deepen our faith and empower us to live faithfully as disciples of Jesus in our everyday lives.This week, Pastor Jim Mullins teaches out of James 2:1-13.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved, or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app https://pushpay.com/get?handle=redemp...OR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook: / redemptiontempe. .Twitter: / redemptiontem Instagram: / redemptiontempe.. .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

The Sin of Partiality (James 2:1-13) - Daniel Smith | March 9, 2025The book of James describes an integrated faith & life—a life made whole in its holiness. James was the pastor of the first Christian church in Jerusalem, writing to Jewish believers living outside the nation of Israel. The words of James are God's word for us—relevant and immediately applicable to our lives. As we journey through the book of James, immersing ourselves in the symbolic world + pressing concerns of the first century followers of Jesus, we learn to apply James' message to our lives in the 21st century.The Way Church is a church in Vancouver joining Jesus in the restoration of all things.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
March 2025 says goodbye to Saturn, welcomes a total lunar eclipse, and continues hanging out with the rest of the planets. Hi everybody, I'm Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. We'll start by talking about this month's big events, then highlight the naked eye planets, and finish up with the lunar phases, so you can plan ahead better than me. 14th - Total Lunar Eclipse 1:09am EST – Partial Eclipse Begins – Just look South to find the Full Moon, and watch as the Earth's shadow appears to nibble on the Moon from left to right. This phase will last about an hour. (You might hear that the penumbral portion of the eclipse starts before this. While true, it is essentially undetectable with the naked eye.) 2:26am EST – Totality Begins – Now the umbra of the Earth's shadow is completely engulfing the Moon, and only the light from all the sunrises and sunsets on Earth are illuminating our orbital partner's surface, making it appear anywhere from dark yellow to orange to red to brown. This phase will last a little over an hour, with maximum eclipse right before 3am. 3:32am EST – Totality ends, Partiality begins again – now the shadow leaves the Moon, starting to expose its surface from the right to left. 4:48am EST – Partial Eclipse Ends Other things to look for As the Moon gets darker, more and more stars will be visible The Moon is right between Leo and Virgo - Virgo is usually tough to find, so take advantage of the darkened Moon.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that wealth can go to our heads, and affect our hearts. Having wealth is not evil, but people having wealth often exploit the poor, while God chooses the poor to be rich in faith, and heirs of His kingdom. The post Partiality And Its Influences – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that if we dishonor the poor, we are dishonoring God, who doesn't value earthly wealth and status. It is not loving to treat one another based on how much money they have. The post Partiality And Its Influences – A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

As you know we have been digging into the book of James over the past couple of weeks and in chapter one, james broke down the many ways that saving faith impacts our personal lives. True faith is truly evident in our steadfastness in trials, in the lives that we live by keeping ourselves unstained from the world, and in bridling our tongue. You will notice that throughout James, we will bounce between the way our faith impacts our personal lives and the way we treat others. In chapter 2 James begins to describe the effect true faith has on the way we treat others. Verses: James 2:1-13, Luke 10, Matthew 25:31-346, Revelation 22:11, Zechariah 3:1-4, Matthew 18:21-35, John 8:1-11 Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture references are from the English Standard Version.
