Lord Show Me Your Glory

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 22, 2024

Maybe Moses realised that after witnessing so many magnificent miracles, physical and supernatural encounters, and even after seeing God face to face, all of these experiences are only glimpses of God's Glory, but not God's full Glory.

So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” Exodus 33:17-18 After the burning bush encounter, after witnessing mighty miracles, and after seeing God face to ...read more

Weight Of Your Glory

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 23, 2024

Encountering God's Glory can also transform your bodies, renew your strength, and make you able to withstand a greater amount of God's Glory. Those who encounter God's Glory will (or might) not age, but will renew their strength and become like a young person in their prime.

Lord, I cannot withstand the full weight or intensity of your glory, but you still come down in all your Glory. My body was not designed to withstand or endure such a high level(intensity) of your glory. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they lost their ability to withstand the weight of God ...read more

The Power Of The Lamb's Blood SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

Our text takes place on the eve of the Israelites' liberation from Egypt. They are instructed to slaughter a lamb and prepare it for consumption with bitter herbs. They are also commanded to take the lamb's blood and use it to mark the outside door posts of their houses. This act of faith and obedience would signal their homes to be passed over during the final plague. This message explores the significance of this act and the powerful symbolism it holds for us today.

Today, we gather to reflect on the significance of the blood of Jesus Christ. Just as the Israelites applied the blood of a lamb to their doorposts for protection and deliverance, we too can find hope and transformation through the blood of Jesus. Let us explore how the blood of Jesus provides ...read more

No More Excuses: Embrace Your Calling SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

The world may not see the fruits of our faith because we, like Moses, are hiding and making excuses instead of taking action. God often asks us to undertake challenging tasks. Will we trust Him? Do we respond with faith or excuses when God calls?

Today, we will delve deeper into this question by examining Moses' response to God's call in Exodus chapter 3. Are there things holding us back from being as ...read more
