Sermons About Glory
Glory and Joy
As Jesus prays for His disciples in John 17, He is appealing to the Father to empower all that He has said to them on the preceding chapters (13-16) and as we listen in on that prayer He is telling us what He desires the fruit of that teaching and praying to be. He begins with Glory, for Himself to be glorified in accomplishing God's plan of redemption and in turn that the Father would be glorified through Him. Then that the joy that He put into redeeming men from sin would fill them and reflect back to the Father. The Wesminster Shorter Catechism states this clearly in its first question and answer; "What is the chief end of man?" "Mans chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." Jesus heartily agrees with this sentiment as He prays not only for the eleven disciples who were there that day, but (vs 20) for all those who would believe in Him through their word.

When I Get Recognition!
When will I be happy with others? When I get recognition! But we are never satisfied. Only the gospel can make us happy with others! In the gospel we find that God values us, delights in us, and gives us glory beyond our wildest imagination. The gospel makes us so happy that we are free to humble ourselves and follow Jesus by serving others, which makes us even happier!

Sacred Psalms: Psalm 115
Scott Berthel is our teacher today. He is married to Sally and looking forward to celebrating their 22nd anniversary this summer. Together they have two daughters, Isabella and Elleanna. As a family, they enjoy traveling, cooking, reading, and playing together. They have lived in Carrollton for four years after moving from Michigan, and joined The Ridge Church three years ago. Scott serves as the Assistant Head of the Middle School at Trinity Christian Academy in Addison. He will be starting our Sacred Psalms series by teaching Psalm 115 and challenging us to consider the way all of the 150 Psalms can help to shape our worldview. Psalm 115 is an excellent example of a Psalm that offers important components of a God-centered worldview as it helps us understand more about who God is, the purpose He gives us in this world, and our human tendency to create idols as a mistaken form of response to God and His gifts.

A God Worth Waiting For
Was it worth it? Were the radical sacrifices made by God's people throughout Scripture worth it? When we glimpse the glory of God, we see that all of our suffering, as great as it might be, is not worthy to be compared to the beauty of the glory of God revealed in the face of our Savior Jesus Christ.
