Preparing for Sunday, October 2nd
James 2:1-13




      Vs. 1  “My brothers….don’t show favoritism.”

What are some other words for favoritism?
                                Examples…..                                       Your ideas……
nepotism                                      1.____________________
preferentialism                             2.____________________
bias                                             3.____________________





      Have you ever been “judged” (positively or negatively) for clothing you have worn, hair style, participating in a certain fad or trend.  For example, in the mid 70’s when everyone was getting curly/afro type haircuts….like no the Brady Bunch – I did so?  Can you image me (Pastor Brent) with an afro?





      vs. 1   …..a person wears fine clothing and gold and another wearing tattered, baggy clothing…which one do you better the most attention?

      If you see a person wearing a suit, tie, white shirt, polished shoes….what do you think that persons does for a living or is perhaps doing that day?


      If you see a person with pajama pants, hair not comb…..what is the first thought in your mind?


      What do you perceive if you see a person – very worn, grubby, soiled clothing and shabby hygiene; perhaps carrying a bag or two down the street?  


      How would Jesus dress in our current day and age?
