      Glory for Everyone!

      Paul David Tripp | December 19, 2021

      Our lives are one big glory war between God’s glory, and glory that can never satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. In this message, Paul David Tripp shares the truth about the glory that can give us the hope, peace, and joy we’re looking for.

      Message Action Plan

      Message Action Plan

      1. You're Hardwired for Glory

        "And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!'"
        Luke 2:8–14 (ESV)

      2. Your Life Is One Big Glory War

      3. The Angels' Glory Song Gets to the Heart of the Christmas Story

      ACTION PLAN: Imagine that you are a shepherd in the field hearing the praise-filled declaration of the angels. Re-read the verses above and underline the words that would have filled you with awe. Turn these thoughts into your own declaration of praise for the glory of God now present on earth.

      "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised."           2 Corinthians 5:14–15 (ESV)

      1. The Good News: Jesus Is Glory Come to Earth

      ACTION PLAN: As you prepare to celebrate Christmas this week, make a point to set aside ten minutes. Go outside and purposely look around at the beauty of God's creation. Instead of just enjoying what you see, talk to God with thanksgiving and praise for how the world points to His glory.
