God's Glory Carries Hope

This powerful message confronts us with a transformative truth: we are called to be carriers of God's glory in these last days. Drawing from Isaiah 60, Habakkuk, and Colossians, we discover that God's answer to increasing darkness isn't fear or withdrawal—it's His radiant presence dwelling within His people. The imagery is striking: a bride in a wedding dress wearing army boots, representing both purity and power. We learn that God's glory isn't something we achieve through legalistic effort, but rather a gift we receive as we pursue His presence. The sermon challenges a common misconception that God doesn't share His glory with people, revealing instead that Jesus explicitly gave us the glory the Father gave Him. As we accumulate His weighty presence through worship, prayer, and intimacy with Him, we become mobile dwelling places—carrying His light into every sphere of influence where He's placed us. The message emphasizes that evangelism is shifting: people will be drawn to the glory they see radiating from us rather than us chasing them. This isn't about straining or performing; it's about becoming more authentically who God created us to be, shining with His holiness and wholeness in a world desperate for hope.
