A Resting Place

Glory of God

I couldn't figure out why I was having such a hard time putting together this first sermon on the glory of God to be preached on Friday night. Then I realized it was because of the simplest of truths: the Glory of God is unfathomable. How does a finite human being communicate to other finite human beings the infinite majesty, splendor, and holiness of God Almighty?

I am looking forward to the coming meetings, but today I've come face to face with what I know I need every time I stand behind that pulpit: a realization that I cannot accomplish what I am setting out to do. It must be that the power and grace of God transform lives, including my own. If that does not happen, none of us have any hope of seeing, appreciating, and loving His great glory.

Friday night's meeting will be on Romans 1:18-2:3, and the subject from the passage to be addressed with be the glory of God and our sin. Saturday night, the text will be from 2 Corinthians 3, and the sermon will be titled, "Unveiled Faces: The Glory of God in Jesus Christ." Both will be preached at West Middlebury Baptist Church at 7pm. See my website for more info: www.godlylife.com
