"We never saw anything like this!" (Mark 2:12)
A paralysed man walked out of a crowded house in Capernaum, and the room full of strangers did not congratulate the man or applaud his four friends. They glorified God. This message asks a question worth carrying all week: when people walk away from a conversation with me, who are they talking about, me or my God?
In this bilingual English and Malayalam message from Peace Fellowship Church Kuwait, we look at what glory actually is (kabod, the weight of who God is, and doxa, giving the right verdict about Him out loud), why glorifying God is the reason you exist, and how God is glorified in the full range of life: in sickness and in health, in poverty and in plenty, and even in death.
What we cover:
- The scene in Capernaum and what the crowd actually said
- What glory means: the telescope, not the microscope
- Isaiah 43:7, Colossians 1:16, Romans 11:36 and the reason you were made
- Romans 1:21 and Acts 12:23: why refusing to glorify God is never a small thing
- 1 Corinthians 10:31: eating, drinking, and the end of the secular hour
- Seven simple ways to glorify God, starting today
Key passages: Mark 2:1-12, Psalm 29:2, Psalm 145:1-10, Isaiah 42:8, Isaiah 43:7, Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 10:31, 1 Peter 4:11-16, Matthew 5:16, John 11:4, John 12:27-28, John 17:1-5
The world says the meaning of your life is what you achieve. Scripture says the meaning of your life is Whom you display.
