The Glory of God

·1 hr 1 min·5 clips

Pastor Beau Eckert compares understanding God's glory to seeing a corn maze from above.

The episode is a sermon from Calvary Church, led by senior pastor Beau Eckert. He begins by welcoming attendees and explaining the service will be different, involving a worship program for guided participation. Eckert introduces the theme of God's glory as a journey through the one story of the Bible, using a corn maze analogy to emphasize seeing life from a higher perspective. The first movement, 'Glory displayed,' explores how creation reveals God's glory, with readings from Psalm 19 and discussion of humans as image bearers. The second movement, 'Glory lost,' addresses sin's entry into the world, its consequences, and a moment of silent confession. The third movement, 'Glory restored,' focuses on Jesus Christ as the restoration of God's glory, citing John 1 and 2 Corinthians, and includes a recitation of the Nicene Creed. The fourth movement, 'Glory proclaimed,' discusses the mission for believers to declare God's glory to the nations, referencing Matthew 28 and the Lord's Prayer. The final movement, 'Glory fulfilled,' looks to eternity where God's glory will fully dwell with his people, drawing from Revelation and Romans. Throughout, the sermon incorporates interactive elements like corporate readings, prayers, and songs, with Eckert guiding the congregation through a structured worship experience.

As heard by us

A pastoral service that moves from damaged glory toward confession, praise, and shared worship.

Calvary Church's service frames worship as part of humanity's calling: people were made to reflect God's glory, yet sin has bent and dimmed that reflection.
