Questions to ponder for May 15

James 2: 1-8
1.  What makes us show favoritism?  Have you ever seen favoritism shown in little league sports, youth trips, neighborhood events?  It's not just work?

2.  Verses 5-6 mention the rich and the poor.  Is it just referring to economic status?

3.  How does showing favoritism tarnish the message of the Gospel?

4.  Would a poor person feel accepted in our church?

James 2: 9-13
1.  What does it mean that to act like one who is going to be judged by the law that gives freedom?

2.  How does mercy triumph over judgement?  How does one's commitment/loyalty, etc.  change when they have experienced mercy?
