Missions to the Glory of God - February 9 2025

Series: The Mission of the ChurchScripture: 1 Corinthians 10:31Speaker: Pastor David HallettDuring this series we have seen that the true story of the world is revealed and called forth as God’s mission. Then, we showed how, as followers of Jesus in His church that He is building, we have a duty to fulfill our mission under God’s grand mission. Last week, we saw that we as Christ’s church need to be engaged in extending the Lordship of Christ and the glory of God to ALL NATIONS. Now we must come to the key question, “To what end?” Why is the true story of the world that God’s cosmic renewal is accomplished through the saving work of Jesus spread around the world to all nations? The answer is the glory of God. All of this is accomplished to bring God glory. This does not make God some vain diva looking for attention. In fact it is just the opposite. When God is glorified in the universe and especially in His people, we begin to experience and enjoy all the beauty and greatness of God to our own ultimate satisfaction. That is why He is worthy of our praise—God’s glory gives more than it takes.
