    This sermon will help you understand what the glory of God is and how to experience it in your life. Christ in you means from one level of glory to another level of glory. It means experiencing His glory here on earth, to experiencing the greatest dimension of His glory in eternity.

    There is a difference between knowledge and experience. You may know about something, but experiencing it firsthand is a whole different level. The same applies to our understanding of the glory of God. It's not enough to have head knowledge; we must personally experience His glory in our lives. ...read more

    He believed that this could be his only chance to see again, and he was determined to meet the only one that can make him see again. He had to get Jesus’ attention, so he yelled as loud as he could, "Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me."
