Written by the half-brother of Jesus, the book of James has been described as "Christianity in blue jeans." Right theology must lead to right living. Otherwise, it is worthless. James gives us theology applied.
This series of messages is a verse-by-verse exposition of the book of James by Justin Peters, of Justin Peters Ministries, and were preached during our Sunday Morning Worship Service. Click here for more teaching by Justin Peters.
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.
