In this message from our Dear Church series, Pastor Josh explores Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians 3–4 about the greater glory found in the New Covenant through Jesus. While the Old Covenant carried glory, it ultimately pointed forward to something better—the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, the veil is removed, giving us freedom to experience God's presence and reflect His glory to the world. Even in our weakness and suffering, God places the treasure of the gospel in “jars of clay,” using our lives to reveal His light and power. When we fix our eyes on what is eternal rather than temporary, we are inwardly renewed and transformed to mirror the glory of God. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | / newtribechurch Facebook | / newtribechurch YouTube | / newtribechurch
