1 My brothers, do not show favoritism asyou hold on to the faith in our gloriousLord Jesus Christ.2 For example, a man comes into yourmeeting wearing a gold ring and dressedin fine clothes, and a poor man dressed indirty clothes also comes in.
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 4: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
3 If you look with favor on the man wearing the fine clothes and say, “Sit here in a good place,” and yet you say to the poor man, “Stand over there,” or, “Sit here on the floor by my footstool,” 4 haven’t you discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
JAMES 2:1-7

5 Listen, my dear brothers: Didn’t God choosethe poor in this world to be rich in faith andheirs of the kingdom that He has promised tothose who love Him?6 Yet you dishonored that poor man. Don’t therich oppress you and drag you into the courts?

GETTING WHAT
YOU PAY FOR

ARE EVIL

When in the movies, it's perfectly okay to pay for your seat.
But it's not okay to do this
inside the church.
![Page 15: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
You should be seated wherever you want to be seated.
All people should be treated equal.
There should not be partiality like this.

Christianity

Religion - you get what you earn.
Christianity - you get what Jesus earns.It's grace.
![Page 18: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Their problem is that the church is behaving in a worldly way.
![Page 19: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The church is in the world but belongs to the kingdom. These are God’s
people, Jesus’ people.
![Page 22: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The problem is that sometimes the church thinks in a way that is more
worldly and less like Jesus’ kingdom.
![Page 23: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Prosperity Theology: Rich people are good, bad, poor people are bad
Poverty Theology: poor people are good, rich people are bad.

PEOPLE AND
RELATIONSHIPS

1 My brothers and sisters, believers in ourglorious Lord Jesus Christ must not showfavoritism.
JACOB is favorite of RebekkahESAU favorite of Isaac
JAMES 2:1

If you have favorites then you are ruining the lives of both.

PARTIALITY

INCLINATIONS
OR ISSUES

THE PROBLEM
WITH BOTH SIDES
IS PARTIALITY

15 “You must not act unjustly when deciding a case. Do not be partial to the poor or give preference to the rich; judge your neighbor fairly.
LEVITICUS 19:15

What he’s saying is this: Don’t show partiality to the rich and don’t show
partiality to the poor. Treat everyone fairly, rightly, justly.
![Page 36: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
THREE TRUTHS TO
CONSIDER IN
ELIMINATING
PARTIALITY

According to the
Bible, everyone is
equally made in
the image and
likeness of God.
![Page 38: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female.
GENESIS 1:27
![Page 39: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

All people are equally fallen and sinful.
![Page 41: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
ROMANS 3:23
![Page 42: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
So, people like you are no better than people unlike you. We’re all sinners.
We’re all fallen. And we’re equal.
![Page 43: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Everyone is
also a
candidate for
salvation

Greatest equalizer of life is death.
![Page 45: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ROMANS 6:23
![Page 46: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Those who belong to Jesus are equally saved, equally loved, equally
forgiven. Horribly things happen when parents
start playing favorites. Don’t let your preferences become your
prejudices.

CHRISTIANITY IS
THE ONLY RELIGION
OF EQUALITY
![Page 50: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR RICHARD NILLO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58eebb761a28abb26c8b466b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Biblical thinking that we’re equally made by God, we’re equally fallen into sin, and we’re equally loved, and saved, and forgiven by God, and that God’sa Father and he loves all of his kids
equal, and he doesn’t have favorites, and he doesn’t have
prejudices and preferences.

God is a Father, who has no favorites.

HIS seat alone is the seat that matters, that you and I shouldn’t be
particularly concerned about our seat, even in this life. And we
shouldn’t be arguing that people like us should get a better seat.

James' commentary: JAMES 2:8-9 8 Indeed, if you keep the royal law
prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well. 9 But if you show favoritism, you commit
sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
