Good morning! Today's episode will be a discussion regarding the sin of partiality and a recent interaction between Kevin Deyoung and Tim Brindle at the 2025 PCA General Assembly.
Intro:Good morning! Matt Flummer teaches today on a challenging, crucial topic: justice. In our Proverbs series, we'll explore biblical justice, contrasting it with secular views to find profound clarity.Scripture References: Proverbs 1:1-3, 17:23, 29:4, James 2:1-4, Proverbs 18:5, 24:23-24, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 11:1, 20:10, 16:8, 16:11, 28:16, Leviticus 19:35-36, Proverbs 6:10-11, 10:4, 13:18, 13:23, 14:21, 14:31, 19:17, 21:26, 31:8-9, Deuteronomy 10:18, Isaiah 1:17, Jeremiah 21:11-12, Proverbs 21:3, Micah 6:8, Romans 3:10-26Key Points:Defining Justice: Proverbs links justice (Mishpat) and righteousness (Sadech) as inseparable. Secular views often split, focusing on either fairness/equity or freedom/individualism.Injustice in Proverbs:Bribery (Prov 17:23): Using influence for personal gain, treating people as means.Partiality to Wicked (Prov 18:5): Refusing to confront evil within one's "team" for perceived unity.Justice in Proverbs:Business Dealings (Prov 11:1): Fair measures, honest gain, opposing dishonest practices.Treatment of the Poor: Poverty is complex—caused by laziness/foolishness (Prov 6:10-11) AND injustice/oppression (Prov 13:23). Proverbs commands radical generosity regardless of cause (Prov 14:21), honoring God. We must also defend the oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), as God aligns with the vulnerable. Jesus himself identified with the poor.Three Takeaways:"I and my things are not my own." Our wealth is God's and partly for the poor (gleaning laws). We are stewards; be radically generous.Corporate & Individual Responsibility. Bible shows both: families/nations accountable for others' sins, but also individual accountability before God. Hold both truths.Justice Linked to Worship. Justice is giving each their due, including God. "To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" (Prov 21:3).The Way of Justice: Through the Cross:"No one is righteous" (Rom 3:10). We can't be just on our own.God's righteousness is manifested through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-26). He is both just and our justifier. The cross is ultimate justice.Conclusion:We can't achieve justice alone. Trust Jesus, who is just and justifies us. Practicing justice pleases God, made possible by Him.Call to Action:At worship, ask the Spirit to reveal injustice in your life (e.g., treating people as means). Submit to Jesus. The communion table symbolizes His ultimate act of justice. Come and receive His body broken and blood shed for you. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

Sermon By: Pastor Ronald Jeyaseelan Sermon Title: No Partiality With God Scripture: Romans 9:24-29 Date: June 29, 2025
In this powerful exploration of Acts 10, we delve into the transformative moment when God's plan for all nations is revealed. The story of Peter and Cornelius challenges us to examine our own preconceptions about who 'belongs' in God's family. Are we, like Peter, holding onto cultural or religious barriers that God wants to break down? This passage reminds us that God shows no partiality - His love and salvation are for everyone who fears Him, regardless of background or heritage. We're encouraged to be open to the Holy Spirit's 'nudges', those moments when God prompts us to step out of our comfort zone and reach across divides. Just as Peter's obedience led to a pivotal moment in early church history, our willingness to follow God's lead could have far-reaching impacts we can't foresee. Let's reflect on how we can be more receptive to God's voice and more inclusive in our approach to sharing His love with others.

Alex delves into James' teachings on partiality, with reflection on Jesus' approach to the topic as well. James was disappointed to have discovered that the early church had fallen into the wordly tradition of partiality based on wealth, and Alex encourages us to examine our own hearts to find where we show partiality and how we view all as God calls us to.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit
The world honors the rich and neglects the poor- and James is saying that the church- if it's not careful- will do the same thing.

Pastor Randy Bradley
Throughout God's love story the Bible, His character is revealed. From the Old Testament writings of the law and the prophets and the books of poetry and wisdom, through to the New Testament eye witness accounts, letters and end time literature, God's heart for true justice is evident. God's true justice is no partiality which means equality for all.

The Sin of Partiality. James 2:1-7. Lead Pastor Michael Clary
How do we love like Jesus in a world that favors status, appearance, and similarity? In this powerful sermon from James 2, Pastor Jeremiah Genin unpacks the biblical command to show no partiality—challenging us to love others not based on status or comfort, but through the lens of Christ's love and mercy. You'll discover how favoritism within the church breaks the heart of God and contradicts the very nature of the Gospel. Through practical teaching and Spirit-filled insight, this message calls us back to the royal law: to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we reflect the mercy we've received from Jesus, we become a church marked by grace, humility, and unity. If you're looking for a church in Madison, WI that is Christ-centered, Spirit-led, and committed to building authentic community, we invite you to join us at Chapel Valley Church. This sermon answers: What does it mean to love others without showing partiality? Why does favoritism in the church contradict the message of Jesus? How can we reflect God's mercy in how we treat those around us? From Chapel Valley Church in Madison, WI. Join us as Pastor, Jeremiah Genin, shares the word of God.
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.

We jump into James 2, it is about the sin of Partiality, which is not talked about in the church or heard about on the pulpet.

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 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.
