The Sin of Favouritism

James pulls no punches: if we belong to our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, mercy must mark us. We’ve received mercy at the cross—Jesus moved toward people like us who had nothing to offer him. But we still slip into favouritism and cliques, quietly deciding who is “worth” our time. James calls that what it is: sin against the royal law to love our neighbour as ourselves. One day, mercy and judgment will meet— and in Jesus, mercy triumphs over judgment. Join us this Sunday at 9.30am as we see how the mercy we’ve received in Christ must reshape the way we see and treat each other.
