15 Sept 2024 | Cornerstone Church | knowgrowshow.ca The One Thing: The Royal Law Scripture: James 2:1-13

Discussion Questions Know K1 What did God say to you through the service / message today?

Grow G1 James refers to the “royal law” found in Scripture: "Love your neighbour as yourself." Why does he call this the "royal" law? How does this command challenge us in the way we treat others, especially those who might be considered "lesser" by society? G2 What does James mean when he says that breaking even one part of the law makes someone guilty of all of it? How does understanding the seriousness of this statement influence the way we approach our treatment of others? G3 James suggests that showing partiality is incompatible with having faith in Jesus. Why do you think favouritism and faith are in conflict? G4 Are there specific groups of people you find yourself showing partiality towards or against? How can you work to change this? How might your personal biases affect the way you share the gospel or serve others? How can you overcome these biases? G5 James warns that judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. How does this relate to Jesus' teachings on mercy and judgment?

Show S1 How can our church or community better embody the principle of "loving our neighbour as ourselves" in practical, everyday actions?
