Date: 09-20-2015
Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29)
We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3)
We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The speaker discusses the glory of God, drawing from Jesus' actions at Cana, emphasizing that Jesus' desire was to please only the Father, not the people. The message extends to how God's love, even when manifesting as judgment (like in Zephaniah), ultimately serves the long-term good of freeing us from sin and idolatry. Furthermore, the speaker encourages believers to increase their faith, citing Abraham's example of growing stronger in faith even when God's promises were delayed.

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
How did Jesus reveal His glory at Cana?Examining the first miraculous sign at Cana shows that Jesus revealed His glory in a quiet, unassuming way.John 2:11
Why does God hide Himself?God often conceals His mighty acts and works through lowly servants rather than demanding public spectacle.Isaiah 45:15
Is Zephaniah a prophet of love?Though Zephaniah contains heavy messages of judgment, it ultimately points to God's deep and quiet love for His people.
What is the purpose of harsh trials like chemotherapy?Just as chemotherapy is a drastic measure needed to fight cancer, difficult trials are used by God for our long-term spiritual good.
How did Abraham grow strong in faith?Abraham trusted God's promise for 25 years without seeing it fulfilled, and his faith actually increased during that time of waiting.
How do we overwhelmingly conquer through trials?Despite facing severe hardships and distress, believers can win the fight to trust in the love of Christ.
What does the parable of the talents teach about faithfulness?Being faithful with a few things brings peace and the trust that God will provide more.
How does serving children relate to serving Jesus?When we care for the least of these, including children, we are directly serving Christ Himself.
What does it mean to pour out our perfume?Just like the woman who poured expensive perfume on Jesus, believers are challenged to surrender their most precious possessions, time, and comfort to Christ.
