YOUR SEAT, JESUS’ SEAT
![Page 3: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in.
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 4: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 5: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 6: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 7: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SEAT IS
VERY IMPORTANT
![Page 8: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IN THE WORLD IT
DETERMINES YOUR STATUS
![Page 9: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SEAT IN THE BIBLE
REPRESENTS GLORY AND
CONTROL
![Page 10: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
IN FCC ALL OF US ARE EQUAL
![Page 11: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CHRISTIANITY IS FOR
EQUALS
![Page 12: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
GETTING WHAT
YOU PAY FOR
![Page 13: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DISTINCTIONS ARE EVIL
![Page 14: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
None of us would have a problem going to a sporting event or going to a concert and paying for a seat, and then whatever money we pay determines where we are. But in church, it troubles us if that
were the case.
![Page 15: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NO BASIS FOR MORAL
INDIGNATION
![Page 16: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
You should be seated wherever youwant to be seated. All people should be
treated equal. There should not be partiality like this.
![Page 17: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The difference between Christianity and other religions is, in other religions, you get what you earn. It’s works. But in Christianity, you get what
Jesus earns. It’s grace.
![Page 18: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Because we believe in grace, we believe in Jesus, we believe that people
should be treated equal. But if you believe in a religious ideology or philosophy, you believe in karma, that some people have paid off
more debt than others,
![Page 19: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
and if they’re suffering in this life, we shouldn’t help them, because after all, we could be interrupting their
karmic debt payback.
![Page 20: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
GALATIANS 6:7
![Page 21: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some religions teach levels of enlightenment that some of us have
reincarnated, some of us have become more enlightened, some of
us are more evolved.
![Page 22: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Religion teaches you, you earn it.
![Page 23: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
That being said, here’s their problem. Their problem is that the church is behaving in a worldly way. When it comes to biblical thinking, there’s
the kingdom of God.
![Page 24: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
WHO HAS THE BEST
SEAT?
![Page 25: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WHO SITS IN
YOUR LIFE?
![Page 26: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This is where Jesus is alive, ruling and reigning right now as King of kings and Lord of lords, and that God’s people will be together forever in
His kingdom.
![Page 27: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Today, we’re in the world. We’re in cultures and nations that don’t think in a way that is biblical and don’t submit to King Jesus. In the
middle is the church.
![Page 28: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The church is in the world but belongs to the kingdom. These are God’s
people, Jesus’ people.
![Page 29: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The problem is that sometimes the church thinks in a way that is more worldly and less like Jesus’ kingdom.
![Page 30: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
That’s exactly what’s happening here. And James is saying the church shouldn’t be like the world. The
church should be like the kingdom. And their problem, ultimately, is
partiality. Don’t get hung up on the finances here.
![Page 31: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The underlying issue is partiality.
![Page 32: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Their problem is they think rich people are good, and poor people are bad. We have a theology for that today. It’s a very worldly theology. It’s called prosperity theology.
![Page 33: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
We think like Robin Hood. Rich people are bad, poor people are good.”
That’s called poverty theology. Rich people are good and poor people are bad, or rich people are bad and
poor people are good.
![Page 34: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Bible says everybody’s bad. It’s equal.
![Page 35: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
ONLY ONE IS GOOD AND
THAT IS JESUS
![Page 36: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The answer to those who favor the poor is not to favor the rich. The answer is not to show partiality to anyone
but to treat everyone equally.
![Page 37: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
FAVORITISM REFERS TO
PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS
![Page 38: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in.
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 39: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
If you have favorites then you are ruining the lives of both.
![Page 40: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PARTIALITY IS YOUR
OPINION AND IDEAS
OR INCLINATIONS
OR ISSUES
![Page 41: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in.
JAMES 2:1-7
![Page 42: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
THE PROBLEM WITH BOTH
SIDES IS PARTIALITY
![Page 43: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
15 Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
LEVITICUS 19:15
![Page 44: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
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 45: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
THREE TRUTHS TO CONSIDER
IN ELIMINATING PARTIALITY
![Page 46: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
According to the Bible, everyone is equally made in the image and likeness of God.
1
![Page 47: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Every person is very important2
![Page 48: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Those who belong to Jesus are equally saved, equally loved, equally forgiven.
3
![Page 49: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Horribly things happen when parents start playing favorites.
![Page 50: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Don’t let your preferences become your prejudices.
![Page 51: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY
RELIGION OF EQUALITY
![Page 52: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/52.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’s a Father and he loves all of his kids
equal, and he doesn’t have favorites, and he doesn’t have prejudices and preferences.
![Page 53: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Wherever Christianity is spread, the sense of equality has led to education, and it’s fascinating that then education would argue that Christianity is intolerant and doesn’t believe in equality, because
without Christianity, you wouldn’t even have institutions of higher learning to
argue against Christianity.
![Page 54: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
This is why, in Great Britain, you have men like William Wilberforce who were
arguing strongly, and passionately, and effectively against slavery and racism
because of biblical conviction.
![Page 55: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Our Father doesn’t play favorites, and if we do, we are sinning against him.
![Page 56: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
This is why you have men like Martin Luther King Jr. who was a preacher and worked
from biblical imagery and thinking.
![Page 57: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
GOD’S PRESCRIPTION
FOR PARTIALITY
![Page 58: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
God is a Father, who has no favorites.
![Page 59: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Then He transitions in the most magnificent way and he talks about the only seat the real matters. What we’re talking about, ultimately here, we’re talking about the
glory seat.
![Page 60: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
What he’s talking about is the glory of Jesus Christ means that 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.
![Page 61: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
BAD VS
JESUS
![Page 62: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
We are all bad and only one is Good and that is Jesus.
![Page 63: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Seat controls glory and authority.
![Page 64: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Glory is a mega-theme of the Bible.

This theme of glory appears about 275 times in the Bible. It’s a massive theme and it means a number of things: splendor,
beauty, magnificence, radiance, heaviness, weightiness, prominence, preeminence, luminescence, splendor, majesty, holiness, purity, worthiness.

What everybody is saying is, “Hey, give me the glory seat. Put me up front high and exalted, everybody can see me. And bring people like me around because
we’re more valuable. We want the glory seat. Jesus is saying no, and he’s saying
it through his brother James.

Jesus is the only one who deserves to sit on the glory seat. It doesn’t matter
where you sit; it doesn’t matter where I sit. It only matters where He sits.

WHO IS SITING IN
YOUR LIFE?

WHO IS CONTROLLING YOUR LIFE?
![Page 71: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
WHO’S THE
KING?
![Page 72: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
There’s one seat. There’s one glory seat and there’s only one who’s sitting on it. Who
is it? It’s Jesus Christ. He is King of kings, He is Lord of lords.
![Page 73: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
His throne, His glory seat, is the center. It’s the center of all creation. It’s the center of all history. It’s His throne
that’s high and exalted, and He alone sits upon it, and He alone is worthy of it. And around Jesus are all the nations, and all the tribes, and languages.
![Page 74: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
The rich are there, the poor are there, the black are there, the white are there, the
highly educated, the uneducated, they’re all there. The men are there, the
women are there, everybody who belongs to that King and is a citizen of
that kingdom are there.
![Page 75: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
And they don’t care where they sit, all they care is that they’re around His throne because He’s the one who gets all the
glory. And the angels fall down, and the leaders fall down, and the people fall
down.
![Page 76: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
We were made not to sit on a throne, but to fall before a throne. We were made not to be worshiped by God in our glory. We were made to worship God in his
glory.
![Page 77: JAMES 6 - YOUR SEAT, JESUS SEAT - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020410/587f02eb1a28ab35528b75c9/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
The more that we understand this, the happier we are, the freer we are. We’re liberated from worldly thinking into kingdom thinking. And we realize, “It doesn’t matter where I sit because nobody’s looking at me anyways. It
doesn’t matter where I sit as long as I am seated around Him and His throne,
high and exalted.”
