Community of Allegiance

October 12, 2025

Dan Osborn

In this sermon on James 2:1–9, the speaker confronts the issue of favoritism within the church, arguing that transactional relationships—measuring people by status or usefulness—undermine the gospel. He traces how the world’s values seep into Christian community and warns that partiality corrupts our witness. Instead, he points to a different way of being together: a “community of allegiance” rooted in grace, where we love without calculation and honor every person equally because of Jesus’ unconditional acceptance. Join us as we explore how the gospel rewires our hearts so that we practice unseen kindness, serve without seeking reward, and build a community where belonging isn’t earned but freely given.
