Partiality & Favoritism
DIG IN QUESTIONS
In light of this week's message, we encourage you to consider these questions and dig in a little deeper with your personal study, with your family, or with your small group.
1. What is the personality type that annoys you the most? (Millennial Hipster, Judgmental Baby Boomer, Gothic New Ager, Artsy Creative Type, Extroverted Salesperson, Indecisive Introvert, Overtly Wealthy Person, Poor Begger, etc.)
2. How does it feel to know that someone just specifically described you in question #1? If that person never met you, how would you want them to treat you?
3. Read James 1:26-2:13. What stands out to you?
4. James calls us out to not commit the sin of partiality/favoritism. What are some practical ways we may knowingly and not knowingly do this to people in our own life?
5. Perhaps the main problem with the sin of partiality/favoritism is a lack of understanding of the mercy that we have been given. Write down on a piece of paper your answer to the question, "What do I deserve?" Now read, Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23. Based on our sin, what do we deserve? Does that match our previous answer? How would seeing God's unmerited favor on your life change how you show partiality/favoritism to others? Spend some time in prayer asking for God to forgive and to show where we need to grow.
