Podcasts about partiality

In this episode, we dive into James 2:1–13 and confront a hard truth: partiality has no place in the life of a believer. Why do we tend to favor the rich or powerful? How does this contradict the gospel of grace? James calls us to live out our faith with integrity, showing mercy over judgment and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Join us as we explore what it means to live under the “law of liberty” and reflect the heart of God in how we treat others — whether rich or poor, seen or unseen.

Romans 2:7-11

In this episode of the School of Ministry Podcast, where we delve into the poignant message of James Chapter 2, verses 5-13 (remastered). James explores the profound idea that God has blessed the poor, enabling them to be rich in faith and trust.  The message emphasizes the inconsistency of showing partiality towards the rich and against the poor, urging listeners to reflect on the heart and grace of God. Join us as we examine the societal tendencies to classify people and the transformative power of our Lord Jesus Christ. The episode challenges us to align our behavior with the Christ's law of liberty, emphasizing mercy over judgment. Through historical evidence and biblical narratives, discover how living out faith manifests in showing genuine care for the less fortunate and acknowledging the eternal riches promised to all who trust Christ as Savior and show their love to Him. Tune in for a thought-provoking discourse on partiality, and how our everyday actions reflect our spiritual beliefs and God's immeasurable love.

As disciples of Jesus, we seldom consider that we might be sinning against the Lord in our fellowship and relationship with one another. The sin of partiality is a subtle sin that has not stopped plaguing for 2000 years. Come and listen to what the Word of God has to say about this from Pastor Kenneth Goh as he delivered his sermon from James 2.

Justin Peters examines the sin of partiality in James 2:1-9. He reveals how favoritism contradicts God's impartial nature. Peters uses practical examples to show that showing preference based on wealth dishonors God's image in all people. The sin of partiality betrays a misunderstanding of the gospel. Christians must embrace God's impartial character. They should remember that divine election humbles believers. God chose them by grace alone, not personal merit. ★ Support this podcast ★

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.

Join us today as Pastor Brahian dives into a wisdom that is without partiality or favoritism.

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.

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.
