In this third sermon in our series in the book of James, Pastor Brent outlines “The Problem of Favoritism” (2:1-4); “The Heart of the Gospel” (2:5-7); and “Consequences of Favoritism” (2:8-13). Two key takeaways: 1) a primary way to live out the gospel is in the way you publicly and privately treat others; 2) you can’t love some people and not love other people, remembering that in the gospel, you too were underserving! Pastor Brent uses illustrations from classic hymn writers William Cowper and Augustus Toplady, the latter of whom wrote “Rock of Ages” in 1776.
