    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.

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
