Mercy Triumphs!

Favoritism = sin. If this message had to summarized, that would be the bottom line. Believers don't show favoritism. They may have friends who share an affinity or commonality, but they don't size people up, prejudge, and exclude people based upon race, color, education, socio-economic status or any other superficial reason. If we can learn to major in mercy and see people through the eyes of Christ, we will see mercy triumph over judgement. This sermon contains some vision-casting ("What if...") concerning an audacious charitable outreach. Text: James 2:1-13 (NIV)
