Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base Before all the people, Because you have not kept My ways But have shown partiality in the law. CONFESSION OF SIN Responsive: Pastor: O LORD, the great and awesome who keeps the covenant love with all who love and obey You and obey Your commands, we have sinned and done wrong. Congregation: We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws; we have not listened to Your Word; we are a people unclean lips who have forgotten our Christian heritage. Pastor: LORD, You are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame. Do not deal with us as our sins deserve.

O LORD, hear our prayer; forgive our sin; heal our land. Amen.

6 SERMON NOTES Faith and Law James 2:113 2 My brethren, do not hold the faith our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord glory, with partiality. 2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, You sit here in a good place, and say to the poor man, You stand there, or, Sit here at footstool, 4 have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, beloved brethren: Has not chosen the poor this world to be rich in faith and heirs the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? 7 Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called? 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, [a] you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty all. 11 For He who said, Do not commit adultery, [b] also said, Do not murder. [c] Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
