Forgiveness of sin is the heart of redemption in Christ. But that is different than saying God's primary motivation for redemption is forgiveness of sin. In this sermon on “The Glory of God” from Ephesians 1:6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones remarks that errant thinking places the human being at the center of salvation rather than God. Instead, the glory of God is the great motive that led God to plan and purpose redemption in Christ. Christians are often lethargic about their salvation but Paul says Christians are redeemed to praise Him. Why should Advent illicit praise to God? Chiefly because in the coming of Christ the revelation of God's glory is seen. Although the glory of God is difficult to define, the term implies God's beauty, majesty, splendor, greatness, might and eternity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones walks through various passages in order to demonstrate how this theme runs throughout Scripture (Genesis 3:24; Exodus 40:34–37; Isaiah 6; Luke 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:6). Placing the glory of God at the front of one's mind can have great effects in evangelism. By emphasizing the glory of God in their proclamation of the gospel, Christians shall be much more apostolic in their method. While God is about His glory, the highest manifestation of that glory is found in the salvation of sinners.

Have you ever felt distant from God, disconnected from yourself, or hidden behind fear, shame, and disappointment?In this teaching from Monday Night Live, we explore God's powerful question in Genesis 3:9:"Where are you?"When God called out to Adam in the garden, He wasn't looking for information—He was extending an invitation. An invitation to honesty. An invitation to healing. An invitation back into relationship.Many of us know what it's like to hide. We hide behind busyness, performance, perfectionism, ministry, success, or even a smile. But what if God's question isn't meant to expose us—but to restore us?In this episode, you'll discover:✨ What God was really asking in Genesis 3:9✨ Why we hide when we're hurting✨ How fear, shame, and disappointment keep us stuck✨ The truth about God's pursuit of us✨ Practical steps to step out of hiding and into healingNo matter where you are today, God is still calling your name. He is not asking because He lost you. He is asking because He wants you to find yourself again—in Him.Key Takeaway:God's healing begins where our hiding ends.If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend who may need the reminder that they are seen, known, loved, and worth pursuing.

The pattern that often surprises us most doesn't arrive when we are at our worst. It shows up right when we are at our best. Fresh off an impossible victory, Abram found himself caught between two completely different kings.In this message from "The Friend of God" series, Pastor Adam Burton unpacks Genesis 14:17–24 to expose the subtle trap of worldly compromise.

Scripture: Genesis 39:1-23+ The Lord was WITH JosephGenesis 12:1-3+ 3 Tactics of Temptation-       Persistent-       Persuasive-       Private+ The Genealogy of Jesus ChristMatthew 1:1-2Matthew 1:18-23Hebrews 13:5

Scripture: Genesis 221:1-14 The story from Genesis is about Abraham taking his son Isaac up to the mountain to be sacrificed. But Abraham being willing to sacrifice his son is craziness! Who has been rendered expendable in our zeal for God? When we're driven by a desire to be faithful to God and go too far, real people pay the price. Typically, the most vulnerable among us: widows, orphans, immigrants, women, and children in general, captives, disabled people, queer people, all sorts of people who are pushed to the edges of our society. And when God sees these people bound to altars that we've constructed, God moves on their behalf. When faith takes us too far God provides the means for us to be faithfully generative. We have to face the fact that zeal to be faithful to God will not override God's care and compassion for even the least among us.

A summary of these is what He would likely say to us.
