James 2 Part 1

James 2 Part 1 Series: James Teacher: Malcolm Jarrett Sunday Morning Date: 28th June 2026 Passages: Leviticus 19:18 Matthew 22:37-40 Romans 3:28 James 2:1-13 ------------------- Today we continue our study in the book of James. Focusing on the first half of James 2, Malcolm explores the sin of partiality and how, as recipients of God's grace, we are compelled to extend that same mercy to others. We examine how Paul's Epistle to the Romans complements the Epistle of James, revealing that while our salvation is assured by faith alone in Jesus Christ, our actions reveal the condition of our hearts. Do we show partiality to our neighbours based on appearance or status? Do we hold on to the values of the world or to the values of Christ? Are we living representations of the truth that mercy triumphs over judgment?
