Sermons About Glory
Sunday Sermon for Week 21-09
Paul teaches that Christ is deep in our hearts by faith, not by good works, not by going to church, not by trying to lead a good Christian life, but by faith. We are firmly rooted on a foundation of Christ’s love. Our battle is to be who we are in Jesus. The presence of Jesus in our lives surpasses our knowledge to articulate it. Knowledge is important, but the love of Christ surpasses that knowledge. God is able to do immensely more than we can ask or even imagine. The implication of this is that He is doing things in our lives that we do not know anything about now. Our simple calling is go be who you are and watch for God. In all things, to Him be the glory.

Saying Isn't Believing pt 2
If we say forgiveness is important, powerful, and of God, that doesn't mean we truly believe it. We truly believe something when we act upon it. We believe these things about forgiveness only when we truly forgive. As James 2:18 declares, " Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do." So what does forgiveness truly mean and why should we forgive? This message looks at the depth of meaning and also the foundation of the character and nature of God found in John 17 for the answers.

Missing the Glory of God in Our Midst
In Nehemiah, the nobles of Jerusalem chose to cling to the comfort and safety of their political alliances and missed the glory of God which stood so clearly in their midst. They feared the glory of God because they knew that to see it would cause them to fall greatly in their own esteem. However, by missing out on the glory of God, the nobles foolishly traded their own eternal joy for what seemed to be an economically wise relationship at the time. Today, we too have the opportunity to see the glory of God and experience the amazing joy that comes as we fall in our own esteem and yet realize that the God of the universe is for us. He is our advocate, our savior, our refuge, our creator, and our friend; and beholding his glory can fill our lives with joy, truth, meaning, and purpose. We must be vigilant not to make the same mistake as the nobles of Jerusalem and trade his glory for lesser things.
