Pastor Aaron Buer continues our sermon series, Make it Real, with a challenge from James to examine our hearts regarding favoritism. We discover when we show partiality, we are not focused on God's glory but our own. Instead, we are reminded to see others through the lens of the gospel and God's mercy towards us. If we have experienced grace, we extend grace; if loved, we love.
