"Let Us Labor to Promote the Glory of God"

What is your life really promoting? In this stirring message, Brother Carlton takes us from the battlefield of David and Goliath to the quiet battles of everyday life—where motives are tested and hearts are revealed. David didn’t face the giant for fame. He stood so “that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” (1 Samuel 17:46). That was his mission. Not personal glory—but God’s. Today, we live in a culture obsessed with platforms, followers, applause, and self-promotion. But Scripture reminds us that we were redeemed for a higher purpose: “Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 6:20). Through Scripture, hymn lyrics from his Baptist upbringing, and heartfelt exhortation, Brother Carlton challenges believers to examine their habits, their media consumption, their conversations, and their daily labor. Are we lifting Christ high—or subtly promoting ourselves? Are our eyes and minds filled with what honors God—or what dims His glory? This message is both a wake-up call and a warm invitation: • To build altars, not platforms. • To preach Christ, not ourselves. • To live so transparently that others see Jesus through us. Whether you are building a business, raising children, preaching sermons, or simply living quietly before God—your labor matters. Even the unseen faithfulness shines before heaven’s throne. If you desire a life that counts for eternity, this message will both challenge and encourage you. Let us labor—not for applause—but for the glory of God. Amen.
