Favoritism is an invisible sin we rarely admit—but James 2:1–13 exposes how deeply it infects our hearts, our churches, and our relationships. In this message, “Glory Not Glitter,” Pastor Wade Bishop walks through James’ warning against showing partiality, reveals how God’s value system overturns ours, and calls us to live as people of mercy, not status.

If you’ve ever judged someone by their appearance, success, or what they can do for you, this sermon will challenge and encourage you to choose God’s glory over the world’s glitter.

Scripture: James 2:1–13

Big Idea: The church reflects Jesus’ glory, not the world’s glitter.
